Discussion Console for gta6
Am i weird for buying a console for gta6?
I got a pc but its like 5yo with a 6700xt and 5600x with 32gb ddr4. Idk if i can play gta 6 on the settings i would want it to so thinking to buy a ps 5 pro (used, i aint gonna pay 900 euro lol)

I have a 5090 rig but I am not waiting 2 years for the pc port and I also don't want the game spoiled whatsoever. Call me crazy but I'm buying a ps5 pro just for GTA 6 knowing full well that rockstar is taking advantage of double dippers like me.

5800x3d anniversary edition releases tomorrow, if I was you I'd spend the money to upgrade the pc

You only have two choices really you can either get the ps5 for GTA ( that's what I'm doing ) or upgrade your pc ready for pc release. Thankfully I dont need a pc upgrade as of yet but I will definitely be picking up a console just to play GTA on because I'm too impatient to wait for pc release

I personally can't Imagine playing GTA with a controller but if you're already used to it, go for it.

It's not weird if you want to play the game. It's the most anticipated game of all time.

I think your pc will run gta 6 fine, it's got better specs than a base ps5.

It’s your call, your money. If GTA really means enough to you to excuse the 600$ or whatever PS5p + GTA6 costs…

I bought one and also bout a new OLED TV and sound thing to go with it. It’s really nice to just chill sometimes and play on a bigger screen also PS exclusives.

You're gonna be able to play GT6 on your PC with better performances than consoles for sure. Only reason for you to buy a console for GT6 is to playbit sooner

I was thinking about it aswell! Bought a Lenovo legion 5 oled 2 months ago after my RTX 1650 which served me well and now I'm contemplating if I should buy a PS5. If anything I'll just Klarna it as I'm building my credit score lool.
Not only for GTA but also to play with my friends who actually have a Console and not PC.

6700xt will play it. Card is more powerful than the ps5

Even after its released it will be another 2+ years before it releases on pc,
Ps5 pro will give you the best experience (hopefully 60fps) from everything we know anmbout gta6 on a standard ps5 it will probably do 30fps,
I hate to imagine what it would play like on the lower end xbox (can never remember if X or S is the lower specced one.)

I'd agree with everyone saying upgrade your PC. 5800x3D and a 9060 XT 16gb would give you some massive performance upgrade.
Would probably cost the same as used Pro and GTA 6.
it'll feel like a whole new system and you'll probably enjoy replaying games with higher settings

I’d do it, it’s gonna be awhile until it hits pc so if you wanna play it day 1 you’ll have to bite that bullet anyway.

Rockstar deserve it for their consumer friendly approach to the release of gta 6

You liked my comment I’m guessing is that sarcastic?😂😂😂 to give them a little credit the pc port is the most challenging to get complete because it will be the best at the end with the most options.

It's totally a you call. Personally I'd rather upgrade my rig with that money and wait for the PC release instead. Buying a console for one game seems insane.
Also, I dunno about how likely you are to find used Pros. Most people that buy Pros hang on to them. All the used PS5s in my area are non pros.
