Is GTA 6 coming to PS4?

AnswerConfirmedNo: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only

No. Rockstar lists GTA 6 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, releasing November 19, 2026, and hasn’t announced a PS4 or Xbox One version. The exception is streaming on Xbox: Rockstar and Microsoft say Xbox One consoles can play it through Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Microsoft says streaming starts at 1am ET on November 19.

Updated

Rockstar’s official page and Take-Two’s pre-order announcement name only the two current consoles. Rockstar hasn’t explained the choice.

Any PS5 or Xbox Series X|S can play it, including the cheaper Series S. PC hasn’t been announced either.

Why isn’t there a PS4 or Xbox One version?

Rockstar hasn’t given a reason. It lists only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and no cross-generation release has been announced.

Our opinion: the game’s scale is likely why, but that is a guess, not something Rockstar said.

Will a PS4 version come later?

Rockstar hasn’t said so. Nothing on its page or in Take-Two’s announcement mentions an older-console port, so we treat it as not planned until told otherwise.

That also rules out the route GTA V offered: buying a PS4 copy now and upgrading it later. There is no PS4 copy of GTA 6 to buy.

Which consoles can play it?

Any PS5 and any Xbox Series X or Series S. The Xbox store lists the game as Optimized for Xbox Series X|S, so the cheaper Series S is supported.

On PS5, the listing says PS5 Pro Enhanced, and Rockstar says the Pro adds improved clarity through PSSR and ray-traced shadows only available on PS5 Pro. A Pro isn’t required, and a standard PS5 is the baseline: Rockstar says its An Extended Look video was captured on PlayStation 5, and Kotaku reported that was a base model.

Can I play it on PS4 or Xbox One through streaming?

Not on PS4. The PlayStation Store lists Remote Play as supported, but it streams from a PS5 to another device. A PS5 still has to run the game, so it doesn’t help a PS4-only household.

Xbox One is different. Rockstar’s November 10 post says the game will be playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X|S consoles, using Xbox Series S graphics settings, and warns that connection speed can affect performance. Microsoft’s Xbox Wire post says streaming starts at 1am ET on November 19, launch day. That’s streaming, not an Xbox One version, and neither post mentions PS4.

What can PS4 owners do?

The options are to buy a PS5 or an Xbox Series console, or wait. Even boxed copies are a download code only, shipping from November 12, as covered on whether GTA 6 comes on a disc.

Prices are $79.99 Standard and $99.99 Ultimate in the US, listed on our cost page. Take-Two’s CEO said in August there were no official plans for a price cut, VGC reported.

How did earlier GTA games handle new consoles?

Slowly. GTA V launched in 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360, and reached PS4 and Xbox One in 2014. Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in 2018 on PS4 and Xbox One only.

GTA V has kept up with new hardware since: Rockstar released PS5 and Xbox Series versions in March 2022, and since June 18, 2026 the upgrade has been free for any PS4 copy, or a digital Xbox One copy. GTA 6 skips the older pair, apart from cloud play on Xbox One.
