No, GTA 6 is not coming to PS4 or Xbox One. The game launches on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, Collider reminds readers four weeks out, adding that PlayStation has already confirmed it will not run on the older console. IGN says the same about both console families: anyone still on PS4 or Xbox One will not be able to play it.
No. Rockstar has announced no version for last-generation consoles and none is planned as of today. That is a clear break from GTA V, which launched in 2013 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and moved to newer hardware later. Thirteen years on, the studio is not going backwards: GTA 6 is built for recent hardware, and Collider notes the PS5 release supports haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
Both outlets draw the same practical conclusion: a PS4 player has to buy a PS5 before heading back to Vice City. IGN uses the point to talk about console trade-ins in a piece tied to a commercial offer, which readers should weigh accordingly.
The confirmed facts are short. Release on November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. Standard Edition at $79.99 and Ultimate Edition at $99.99 on PlayStation, according to Collider, which notes both digital options list seven days of preloading. Details are on our price page and our release page.

What is still unknown: no PC version has been announced, nor a Switch 2 version, and Rockstar has said nothing about arriving later on other platforms. Rumors travel faster than statements here. We already looked at GTA 6 on PC.
For part of the audience the decision is hardware first. PS5 Pro stock has been tight for weeks, and the base console is the entry point. If you are undecided, compare the total cost, console included, before picking an edition. For everyone else nothing changes: PS5 and Series owners can preload from November 12.
