Rockstar announced from the beginning that GTA 6 would be released on home gaming consoles only, and with the approaching release of the PS5 Pro, which will be the most powerful among all current home platforms, this may play a major role that will mainly affect Sony.
In this report, we will discuss with you two reasons that might push Sony to release a mid-generation device before the release of Rockstar's big game, and how Sony can benefit from that.
We note that Sony has not yet announced the PS5 Pro, but the leaks that come to us from informed sources confirm that the device will see the light soon this year. It may be revealed in September, according to what is rumored, and it will be released in November of this year.
GTA 6 will be a strong reason to boost PS5 Pro sales
The PS5 Pro is expected, and even certain, to be priced high, so it won't be the best option for anyone considering moving to the next generation or upgrading at this time. Especially with the availability of regular devices that still have technical power that hasn't been exploited by developers.
But when the device is the best and only one capable of running GTA 6 with the best quality among other platforms and in the absence of the PC version, it will be the first choice for players and therefore many will risk paying this large amount in order to acquire it.
Take advantage of GTA 6's massive popularity.
Grand Theft Auto 6, even before its reveal, had great popularity. This popularity expanded greatly with the first reveal and then the announcement of the launch time frame. The game continues to cause a major earthquake on the Internet as soon as one piece of information about it is revealed, even if it is unofficial.
There are expectations that the game will sell more than 10 million copies in the first hour of release and may exceed this number by a lot according to some experts' expectations. Imagine with me that there is a bundle available for the PS5 Pro with the game GTA 6! There is no doubt that it will achieve huge sales that may exceed Sony's ability to provide more quantities around the world.
But the advantage of being the only device capable of providing the best gaming experience available, as the most powerful home platform available, is enough to benefit from the power and popularity of Rockstar's game.
Releasing the device early may give a large portion of players the opportunity to prepare to purchase the device early, especially since it will be available to them at retail outlets. This will be better than releasing it late and having players choose one of the current platforms instead.
These reasons will be enough to make Sony take the initiative to launch the device in the markets and provide it in appropriate quantities, preparing to benefit from the release of the game. GTA 6 As expected in the last quarter of next year 2025.
