This isn’t the first time we’ve considered the possibility of GTA 6 ending up as a PS5 exclusive, which has been boosted by a new rumor that claims Sony has reached a deal with Rockstar to achieve a temporary year-long exclusivity. with said game. This means in summary that GTA 6 will arrive first on PS5 and Xbox Series XS and? It will be released on PC in a year.

The information makes sense if we consider the precedent set by GTA V, a game that came to Xbox 360 and PS3 in September 2013 and wasn’t available on PS4 and Xbox One until November 2014. PC players had to wait until April 2015. When you look at those release dates, eventually It took almost two years so this game will be available on all existing platforms.

All in all, the truth is that I’m a little worried about GTA 6 ending up being a PS5 and Xbox Series XS exclusive for a whole year, because ultimately It is too long a period of time. and because the computer game market is very important. This is not to say that it cannot be fulfilled, but rather that the exclusivity period should be shorter and not exceed a maximum of six months.

For more information, we’ll have to wait to see what eventually happens with GTA 6. Rockstar might use the unveiling of the game’s first trailer, which is scheduled for tomorrow at 15:00 (Spanish time) to confirm the date and launch platforms, although it’s also possible that the said studio has decided not to reveal any of this information just yet.

This is also rumored Sony will have a PS5 Pro and GTA 6 bundle ready by the end of next year, information that also makes sense, as it fits perfectly with the possible release date of both the mentioned console and the new part of the famous Rockstar franchise.

Before I end, I want to tell you something very important about this topic, that the fact that GTA 6 is exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series for a year could have positive consequences for PC gamers. If this rumor comes true, Rockstar could use this one-year gap to introduce exclusive improvements to the PC version of GTA 6such as ray tracing and support for NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR.
