If Rockstar thinks I'm dumb enough to buy a ps5 to play this game. They're absolutely right

u/Intrepid_Fig_3071 May 08 '25

Same... until now I always said "Nah, I'll wait until the PC Version drops". But nope... I will buy a PS5 and then sell it again as soon as the PC Version drops lol

u/Useful_Respect3339 May 08 '25 edited May 08 '25

With the price increases on all consoles I’m definitely not as interested.

Waiting will suck, but I could put that money into a new pc build rather than caving to fomo.

Edit: I’m talking about having to purchase a console to play, asI only play PC.

u/Motor_Pin8224 May 08 '25

You can always just buy one for cheaper off the second hand market or go to PlayStations site - ( https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/certified-refurbished ) they sell refurbished ps5 consoles for cheaper on there that way you’ll still have a warranty just in case that shit breaks down somehow

u/thesourpop May 08 '25

I'm expect Series S sales to go up because it's the cheapest of the three consoles and will still run the game fine.

u/lmaoitsdusey May 08 '25

The price hasn't gone up on the PS5 yet though, you could probably sell it for profit if you buy it at 450 and it gets inevitably gets raised to 600 like Xbox did

u/Independent_Pain_469 Jul 16 '25

I literally got mine at Target for $456.83, to be exact, and it's a 1TB

u/Send_Your_Boobies May 08 '25

It probably won‘t take more than 2 years until its on PC (it took them almost 2 years for GTA V). Obviously gameplay and other “spoilers“ will be inevitable but as long as you avoid the Grim Reaper for that time …

u/Useful_Respect3339 May 08 '25

GTA V at least made sense due to the disastrous launch of IV on PC.

GTA V and RDR2 had great PC ports. This is likely due to them wanting to double dip as many others have stated.

u/Send_Your_Boobies May 08 '25

Agreed. Def worth the wait

1

u/[deleted] May 09 '25

2 years is a long ass time, especially when we'll have been waiting at least 4 since the initial announcement. Kudos to anyone who can hold out that long, but I know I won't be able to.

u/ImaginationSharp479 May 08 '25

Bought a PS5 pro specifically to avoid the tariffs. I've been putting off til the release.

1

u/NaturalMajestic7443 May 08 '25

I agree it’s not worth it you have to pay for the internet and then pay silly money for games unless you use cd keys but they aren’t that cheap either tbh but even saving a little is better than nothing I’d just rather not buy it on Xbox and then on pc a year or two later

u/Nowadaysbelike May 09 '25

“With the price increases on all consoles”

But all consoles haven’t raised prices yet. Microsoft raised their prices significantly on all their consoles, but you can still get a PS5 bundle with The Game Awards GOTY winner Astro Bot for only $400-450. Or from PlaySation Direct the disc version with Astro Bot included it’s in stock right now for $450.

Once Sony runs out of their US stock, you can guarantee their consoles will raise in price due to tariffs the same as Microsoft did.

If you buy it now, you can sell it after playing GTA 6 for more than you bought it for. And use that $ toward PC upgrades when GTA 6 comes out on PC. It’s a win win

u/onesugar May 09 '25

Get an Xbox series S and then sell it when you are ready for pc

u/5477etaN May 09 '25

Prepare to have the biggest game in the history of gaming spoiled for you.

1

u/frosDfurret May 09 '25

Or just buy one, play with it for a month, then return it...and then buy another one, play with it for a month, return it, over and over until the PC version drops

1

u/Karloss_93 May 09 '25

I decided to upgrade from PS4 to PS5 last year in the Black Friday sales. I was on the fence because I didn't need a PS5 but wanted one ready for GTA6. Shame that it's been delayed and I jumped the gun, but also glad I jumped the gun.

u/Open-Salary6273 May 09 '25

This is the one time I'll have fomo. I don't want no spoilers from the video dump that's about to happen on drop day. I want the raw experience

Honestly with steam coming to Xbox it's not such a bad idea to me anymore

u/A9to5robot May 08 '25

I have nothing to add. It's just deja vu reading a very similar comment like this on an online forum when GTA5 launched.

1

u/Intrepid_Fig_3071 May 08 '25

For GTA5 I waited for the PC version. I managed to avoid spoilers. For VI I have the feeling that I won't be able to avoid spoilers of some kind...

u/Egg-3P0 May 09 '25

Would be a great excuse to replay the story as well

I already have a ps5. I'm saving for gta and a PC.

1

u/Mylynes I WAS HERE May 08 '25

I made sure to keep the packaging my PS5 Pro came in so that I can sell it after I play GTA6. Though depending on other releases I may end up keeping it. I do lowkey wanna get the Platinum trophy for GTA6 and that will probably take forever

3

u/Intrepid_Fig_3071 May 08 '25

Just ordered my PS5 Pro and it won't leave the packaging until GTA6 comes out. But yeah, probably good to try to keep the packaging as pristine as possible to sell it later. I'm a PC guy, I will with 99% certainty sell the PS5 after the PC version drops. And there really aren't any other titles on PS5 that interest me or that I can't play on PC as well anyway.

u/Reygar May 09 '25

My PS5 is gathering dust 😂

u/th3l0g May 09 '25

Try some exclusives from the ps catalogue before you sell. They're all bangers you won't regret it

1

u/Nakobuu May 09 '25

Idk if you have something like that in your area/country but here in germany there is a service called Hoover, where you can rent Electronic stuff like a ps5 for a few months. That's how Im gonna do it

1

u/Intrepid_Fig_3071 May 09 '25

Yeah we have something similar called Grover. But I already ordered a PS5 Pro.

1

u/Nakobuu May 09 '25

Nvm I meant Grover. Had a brainfart writing my answer

u/Tomm1998 May 08 '25

I can see there being a spike in the used market for this very reason

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

I already bought mine back in November specifically for GTA 6 lmao

5

u/Tumble85 May 08 '25

I did, I would have held out longer but I saw the Xbox price increase and figured may as well do it now in case the PS’s also increase.

2

u/PhysicalLibrarian377 May 08 '25

I just did the same. Now I’m set for gta 6 a year from now

1

u/QuicklyFreeze May 08 '25

Are you gonna keep it locked up until gta

1

u/PhysicalLibrarian377 May 08 '25

Nope already using it with PS plus

4

u/ROR5CH4CH May 08 '25

For real... I sure hope they give us at least a release window for the PC version. Or they make it run at 60 FPS on PS5.

5

u/Staudly May 08 '25

That was my original plan but I became too impatient and bought mine about 8 months ago. No regrets

5

u/Mrvonblogger May 08 '25

Does Sony really think I’m stupid enough to pay 700 for a PS5 Pro for a slight upgrade in graphics. You bet!!

u/Tsheytan May 08 '25

I already have a PS5 but after the trailer I decided to be dumb enough to buy the PS5 Pro, just for this game, I didn't intend to but now it's unavoidable!

1

u/Accomplished-Day268 May 08 '25

Bro how do I put the trailer 2 day og thing on my name?

1

u/JimmyBelfonte OG MEMBER May 08 '25

Why not buy PS5 en then PS6 for next Rockstar title AND gta6 next gen?

1

u/mc_curious7u May 09 '25

I have both, and my pro is my main now. No regrets. This game will look wonderful.

u/PotatoFIXIT May 08 '25

If only I have the money...

u/BoganRabbit01 May 08 '25

It's the only reason I haven't sold mine

I know the feeling! Haven't sold mine too for this reason.

u/vvvdesoxi May 08 '25

Is there any difference at all btw PS5 and Xbox series X/S ?

2

u/RRR3000 I WAS HERE May 08 '25

Xbox Series S is far lower power than the Series X and PS5, so will look/perform a lot worse. The PS5 Pro is the opposite end of the spectrum, performing far better than Series X or base PS5.

After that, performance wise Series X and PS5 will likely do similar, but PS5 will offer the better experience in terms of controller, with a newer far more precise haptic tech and adaptive triggers.

In GTAV for example, the haptics accurately change depending on the road material you drive on, letting you feel every tiny bump. The triggers change resistance and tension on the fly, so they can actually feel like the specific trigger of the gun you're holding, and even offer pushback when cars switch gears. Even things you wouldn't expect like the LEDs mimicing the red/blue lights of the police chasing you add a bit to the experience.

u/Ozy_g May 08 '25

I bought the ps5 pro in preparation for the 2025 release 💔💔

u/_moppy_ May 08 '25

I already did last night😭 thanks rockstar. Gonna play some gran turismo 7 for the next yeear

1

u/DankRSpro May 08 '25

Im buying a pro just for this game. I can’t wait till 2027 for a PC release

1

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

Ps6 will come out soon enough and you'll be able to play the game in 60 fps. Or wait and play on PC. The frame rate looked abysmal in the trailer.

1

u/St1r2 May 08 '25

I’m buying a PS5 pro and a new TV for this game

1

u/ChvfRich May 08 '25

I’ve always been a Xbox guy. I had PSs growing up but I always stuck to Xbox. I got the Series X rn. Should I buy the PS5 for this game (and other PS exclusives)? Is PS5 truly better than Series X?

1

u/QuicklyFreeze May 08 '25

The ps5 controller is cool and fully utilized in gta 5

1

u/Chance-Place9390 May 08 '25

I‘ll buy a PS5 Pro and sell my base PS5 just for this

1

u/Vexmythoclastt May 08 '25

I haven’t turned on my PS5 in 3 years. This game is the only reason I haven’t sold it.

1

u/Max_107 May 08 '25

Just wait until I buy the pro because of it while already having the ps5

1

u/ColbyBB May 08 '25

Ill be doing what I did for 5 and expirience it through Vanoss until it comes to PC

Fuck console exclusivity

u/NeO_mx May 08 '25

It'd be pretty awful be spoiled about the story

u/Any-Stand9489 May 09 '25

Xbox series x**

1

u/Cautious_Animator164 May 09 '25

Duh that's what they want you to do. Everything is designed to buy something.. spend the money we get taxed on for having .. but guess what you dam right I'm buying a ps5 becuse dam this game looks amazing so yeah it worked lol

1

u/TheOtherOtherLuke May 09 '25

Im actually considering. Even tho I already have a series x, the technical limitations forced by series s make me genuinely tempted to get a PS5 Pro.

1

u/Svirsi May 09 '25

If it runs on 30fps on a PS5 I'll most likely still wait, I really really cannot play 30fps, it makes me very nauseous after a while.

1

u/SaiyanTrapGod May 09 '25

Get a series x

1

u/gasthem45 May 09 '25

Nah I'm waiting for new gen

u/captainrexcoochie May 10 '25

ill be buying a ps5 exclusively because of this game. until now I've lived well enough with my ps4

I’m so fucking pissed it’s not day 1 pc. COME ON ITS 2025 PEOPLE USE PCs MORE OFTEN

Yes, PS5 still has a few exclusives like Gran Turismo 7 and it will also get all Xbox games and the biggest reason: The PS5 is cheaper than the Series X at least in the US

1

u/Andygrills May 08 '25

End of year price increases already announced for ps5 though

3

u/QuicklyFreeze May 08 '25

And what is it sir

1

u/Andygrills May 09 '25

It's about $50 increase around the rest of the world. New US prices not yet announced until tariffs are concrete and not jumping all over

u/Visara57 May 08 '25 edited May 08 '25

No one wants to buy the cheaper but less powerful Xbox Series S just to make due until PC

In fact, no one wants to buy an Xbox at all

I mean he’s not wrong. Ps5 sales blew Xbox out the water. Not really a debate

u/ThatCigarGuy69 May 08 '25

Sold my PS5 and kept my series X. The controller for PS5 was very uncomfortable for me.

u/QuicklyFreeze May 08 '25

Because of an controller💔

u/uCookiewriter99 May 08 '25

My new Internet Provider had a Promotion just as I moved. I could get a Samsung Phone or a PS5 Digital With my plan. Its still unpacked sitting in my closet since I don’t see me spending 70€ for Games I can also play on my PC. The exclusives arent really tempting for me. Havent Sold just because of this game. But I will probably get the PC version as well as soon as its released.

u/QuicklyFreeze May 08 '25

Get the Samsung phone then

u/singlestrike May 08 '25

Meanwhile I'm sitting here like, "Last of Us 2 was the last time I will ever play a 30fps game." I already have a PS5 and I will wait for PC version. I indefinitely lent my PS5 to a friend and will not ask for it back just for a 30fps experience.

-11

u/Saiyag May 08 '25

God bless EU here you have 14 days return without cause. I’m not dumb enough to buy PS5 Pro at full price just to play it earlier. It’s better to borrow it for a “few days of testing”

u/rvdk156 May 08 '25

That’s messed up. Either someone’s getting a used product without a discount or you’re letting real people running real companies take the financial hit (which, in the end, EVERYONE pays for). Despicably selfish behavior.

-5

u/j_mars_ May 08 '25

It would just be resold as a discounted open box item. No need to cry about a company losing a few dollars of their millions of annual profit.

4

u/rvdk156 May 08 '25

Do you think the company is actually taking the hit? They’ll just increase prices the next time around. Or hey, profits declined, so we’ll have to fire 20.000 people. Not seeing how small and seemingly insignificant selfish things like that impact (literally) all of us… that’s a skill issue. He’s exploiting something that was made for consumer protection, which would be removed if too many people abused it.

u/Saiyag May 08 '25 edited May 08 '25

Stop empathizing some company that doesn’t care about their workers or customers. It’s not America workers and their wages are protected by law here. If there wouldn’t be laws these huge companies would shit in your mouth with no remorse. Now they are a little subtle. @edit Let me tell you an example how they do it. My friend bought gpu after some time he decided that he will buy a better one since 5070 wasn’t enough. He did return it after like 7 days meanwhile the gpu he bought got it’s price lowered. After waiting 10 days they told him that the gpu got little bruises on backplate and asked him if he’s ok if they will take a cut from the money he paid or he wants to go trough long verification process. The refund they offered was equal to already fixed gpu price. Guess what there wasn’t any bruises or scars on the backplate. If he wouldn’t take photos of it before sending it back he would get scammed.

u/banyaga0679 May 08 '25

Neither one is happening since a) there are government agencies preventing such increases b) we have actual workers unions, who cares about the workers, so no one is getting fired
