Latest rumors are swirling that Rockstar Games’s most awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 could launch bundled with Sony’s rumored PS5 Pro hardware.
PS5 Pro Coming Before GTA 6 Release
The rumor originates from YouTuber SKizzleAXE, who recently tweeted that his sources indicate the upgraded PS5 Pro will be released before GTA 6.
With GTA 6 potentially eyeing a 2025 launch, his speculation that PS5 Pro could hit shelves in November 2024 seems plausible.
The timing aligns perfectly to optimize GTA 6 for Sony’s latest console hardware.
And as SKizzleAXE states, Rockstar does prioritize PlayStation for its marquee game launches.
So the idea that PS5 Pro and GTA 6 could be packaged together as a de facto launch bundle is spicy indeed!
But what exactly could this rumored hardware upgrade look like?
PS5 Pro Specs
While not yet confirmed by Sony, rumored PS5 Pro developer kit specs recently leaked on social media, showcasing some drool-worthy performance gains:
- CPU – 4nm AMD Zen 2 architecture, 8 cores, 16 threads, up to 4.4Ghz
- GPU – Custom AMD Radeon with hardware ray tracing, up to 2.5Ghz, 14-29 TFlops
- RAM – 16GB GDDR6, 576 GB/s bandwidth
- Storage – 2TB PCIe Gen 4 Internal SSD
These specs would push over double the processing power and graphics performance of the already beastly base PS5.
Will the Rumor Come True?
Is a special GTA 6xPS5 Pro launch bundle just a pipedream? Or could this tasty rumor bake into reality?
A recent comment by a former Rockstar Games dev hinted at PlayStation consoles being the priority for game development, particularly for titles like Grand Theft Auto 6. His comment sheds light on the studio’s strategy:
“A PC port always comes later because they wanna prioritize what sells first.”
Although it doesn’t explicitly mention the hardware, it suggests that console sales are the priority.
