GTA 6 Might Spark a Huge PlayStation Sales Surge

A leaker on X, DetectiveSeeds, dropped some news that Grand Theft Auto 6 will run at a slick 60 frames per second on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Word is, Rockstar Games and Sony are teaming up to push the game hard, making the PS5 the prime spot to play the next big GTA title. This isn’t the first time these two have worked together, but this partnership could be a game-changer. DetectiveSeeds says we might see GTA 6 and PS5 Pro bundles hitting shelves before the game drops. If that happens, it could be one of the biggest console-selling moments ever.

From Sony’s angle, they’re banking on offering the ultimate GTA 6 experience. Sure, the regular PS5 will handle the game fine, but for tons of GTA fans, the jump from 30 fps to 60 fps might be worth shelling out for the Pro model. Rockstar’s already shown that their second trailer was recorded on a standard PS5. But after waiting over a decade for GTA 6, what’s a few extra bucks to get the game running at its peak?

What’s at Stake and What’s Next

Neither Sony nor Rockstar has confirmed any of this yet. With the game possibly still a year and a half away, things could shift. But if DetectiveSeeds is on point—and they’ve been solid before—this could mean big wins for both companies, with GTA 6 moving millions of copies and PS5 Pros flying off shelves. Analysts are predicting GTA 6 will rake in billions fast, and some even say its delay could hit the gaming industry hard, like pre-COVID levels bad. Sony was counting on big PS5 sales this year, but with GTA 6 pushed back almost a year, it’s clear how much this game means to them.

Oh, and DetectiveSeeds also hinted that other Rockstar games, like Red Dead Redemption 2, Grand Theft Auto V, and Grand Theft Auto 4, might get a boost on the PS5 Pro. If we start seeing those titles looking sharper in the coming months, it could back up this whole rumor.
