GTA VI launches on 19 November 2026 on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar says it targets 30 frames per second on current-generation consoles, so the main differences are the PS5 Pro extras and the features each console has. The game is not announced for PC at launch.

| PS5 Pro | Yes, 19 Nov 2026 (PlayStation product page, read 31 Oct 2026). Sony's post mentions the Pro only in a retail note | Improved clarity through PSSR and ray-traced shadows, only available on PS5 Pro, per Rockstar Newswire and the PlayStation Blog, 10 Nov 2026 | Not stated on a page we could read |
| Xbox Series X | Yes, 19 Nov 2026 (Rockstar) | Same 30 frames per second target as other current-generation consoles; Rockstar describes no Xbox-specific mode. Releases at midnight local time (Rockstar Support) | 1TB custom NVMe SSD (Xbox) |

The official PlayStation and Xbox pages we read on 31 October 2026 showed no US list price, only placeholders or a promotion, so we have not put a console number in the table. Add the console price to the game price for your total. If you want a controller, the limited edition DualSense lists at $84.99 US, per Sony's 3 Sep 2026 post. It is optional, and Sony states no functional difference from a standard pad. For storage, see the file size guide. PlayStation says to clear a minimum of 212GB on PS5 (free space to clear, not a stated install size).
For setup steps on each console, see the best settings guide for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox.
What we will add after launch
A 30 frames per second target is not a measurement. We will add frame-rate and resolution findings from named independent analysts, such as Digital Foundry, once they publish measured results. Each finding will carry the outlet, the date, the platform and a link. Until then this page states no performance ranking, and nothing here is a prediction.
