GTA 6 Countdown
With today’s date being July 21, 2025, the launch is exactly 308 days away. The countdown to GTA 6 is a phenomenon in itself—dedicated websites, YouTube streams, and viral social media posts are documenting every moment.
Will GTA 6 Be On PS4?
No, GTA 6 will NOT be released on PlayStation 4. Rockstar has confirmed it is a next-generation exclusive title due to the game’s technical complexity and scale. The game pushes the boundaries with high-fidelity visuals, a huge open world, and new AI systems designed for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
GTA 6 60FPS
Official gameplay footage has showcased GTA 6 running at 30 FPS on the base PS5. However, recent leaks and industry sources suggest the PS5 Pro may support a 60 FPS performance mode. The base PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S may be limited to 30 FPS, especially at higher resolutions, but this could change as Rockstar further optimizes the game.
GTA 6 News & Official Trailers
Rockstar has released two official GTA 6 trailers, both achieving record-breaking viewership on YouTube. They showcase protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, modern Vice City (now part of the state of Leonida), car chases, dynamic weather, and new social satire elements.
GTA 6 PC
GTA 6 will not be available on PC at launch. The game is first coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version is highly likely—aligned with Rockstar’s prior games—but is expected to release in 2027 or later, based on industry leaks and Rockstar’s previous release patterns.
