Sony and Rockstar Games say that Grand Theft Auto 6 “plays best on PS5,” pointing out several unique features of the PlayStation 5 hardware that the game will take advantage of, and which won’t be available to Xbox Series X players.
A PlayStation Blog post co-signed by Rockstar and Mary Yee, a Sony marketing exec, announces that GTA 6 will make use of the DualSense controller’s integrated speaker, haptic feedback (advanced vibration, basically), and adaptive triggers that provide dynamic resistance according to the activity. GTA 6 will also support the PS5’s Tempest 3D audio and use the console’s ultra-fast SSD hard drive to make load times “near-instant.”
If all this sounds like marketing lines you haven’t heard since the PS5 launched over five years ago, that’s not a coincidence. Sony and Rockstar have a marketing partnership for GTA 6, and Sony is hoping the game’s arrival will finally convince players still using the PlayStation 4 — on which you can still play Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto 5, as well as Fortnite and Minecraft — to upgrade. If there’s an opportunity for Sony to put further clear water between PS5 and Xbox Series X as it does so, so much the better (for Sony).
“For new players who are looking to jump in, it’s a great chance to also see why PS5 is the best place to play,” Yee said in the post. “Players can pick up a PS5 or PS5 Pro at direct.playstation.com (where available) and at local retailers.”
