Sony's console has been a central part of the game's marketing since the first trailer. The PS5's SSD architecture, which enables fast loading and seamless streaming of open-world environments, is well suited for Leonida's large and detailed game world.1616Alongside the June 24, 2026 pre-order reveal, Sony detailed how the game uses the PlayStation 5 hardware. Grand Theft Auto VI carries the official "Plays Best on PlayStation 5" designation and supports the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, the controller's built-in speaker, and Tempest 3D AudioTech for spatial sound, with the console's ultra-high-speed SSD enabling near-instant load times. Players who pre-order a digital copy on the PlayStation Store receive a free month of GTA+. Rockstar also unveiled the game's official cover art on June 18, 2026, available as downloadable artwork.18+Xbox Series X|S1820The Xbox Series X|S is the second confirmed launch platform. Both the standard Series X and the digital-only Series S are included. Take-Two has confirmed that physical editions will be available at launch, countering earlier speculation that the game might launch as digital-only.2022PC2224A PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI has not been officially announced for launch day. However, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick addressed the topic directly, stating that "Rockstar has an approach to platforms which we've seen before, and they will make more announcements in due time." This is widely interpreted as confirmation that a PC release will follow the console launch, consistent with Rockstar's established pattern of staggered platform releases.2426Excluded Platforms2628Rockstar and Take-Two have confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will not release on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
