Yes — If You Have PS5 or Series X
No hesitation. GTA VI is a generational game built for next-gen hardware. If you have a PS5 or Xbox Series X, buying GTA VI is one of the best purchases you can make in gaming right now. $70 for 100+ hours of content, next-gen visuals, and online that'll run for years.
Buy it
PS5 or Series X owners — this is what your console was built for. No cap this is the game.
Wait — If You're on PC
GTA VI launches console only. PC version is coming but probably 1–2 years after launch based on Rockstar's history. If you're PC only, you have two options: buy a console to play it now, or wait for the PC version. In the meantime, GTA V with mods on PC is genuinely a great experience.
Wait for PC version
Unless you're buying a console anyway, waiting is the right call. The PC version will likely be the best version too.
Skip — If You're on Last-Gen
GTA VI is not coming to PS4 or Xbox One. Period. If that's your console, GTA V is still excellent and worth playing in 2026. It's cheap, it has massive content, and the modding community keeps it fresh on PC.
Stick with GTA V
Last-gen players — GTA V is still one of the best open world games ever made. You're not missing out, you're just waiting for your upgrade cycle.
The Money Question
Is $70 worth it? For the story alone — yes. For the online that'll be active for the next decade — absolutely yes. For casual players who just want to mess around in a massive world — still yes. This isn't a yearly sports game. GTA VI is a once-a-decade release. The price per hour of entertainment is unmatched.
Final answer 💀
PS5/Series X → buy immediately. PC only → wait 1–2 years for PC version. Last-gen → stay on GTA V, it's still a 10/10 game. We are not okay with how good GTA VI is ngl — if you can play it, play it.
