Since the developers announced the GTA 6 trailer, a lot of GTA enthusiasts have been looking for the game. They are excited to know what will be included in the coming game. While some are trying to know whether the platform, they have will receive GTA 6 or not. As we have seen in the stunning visuals of the game, a high graphical enhancement has been made to the game, and so numerous players are tense.
Especially console players who have PlayStation 4. Up until the previous GTA title, they were experiencing a good user base on their platform. Now the enrichment with visuals raises doubts in PS4 users’ minds about whether their device gets this new GTA title or not. Alongside the speculations, people are confused about which information is correct. For this, I tried to figure it out, and today I will discuss the present scenario.
What about the official confirmation of PS4 compatibility?
GTA 6 developers Rockstar Games have made several hints and indications in their last title. But concerning the coming instalment, they have not said anything about it. Keeping that in mind, if we find that the developers behind GT 6 have yet to officially confirm which platform to receive the coming GT 6 instalment such behaviour from developers has influenced a lot of wrong information about this topic on the web.
Now, as per the present scenario, it appears that GTA 6, being a next-generation game, may get featured on PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Xbox Series X/S. However, even after this, it is important to note that these are just leaks from unverified sources, so what you can do is wait for Rockstar Games and let them unveil the details about PS4 compatibility with GTA 6.
Does the PS4 have the capability to run GTA 6?
Since nothing has been confirmed by developers, concern has been raised about PS4’s capabilities. The world of the coming game is graphically enhanced and requires more power. You know that PS4 was released in 2013 when things were different. From this fact, it becomes imperative that PS4 might face challenges in running GTA 6 to its full potential.
Besides that, if you consider games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2, these are the best examples. When they were released on PS4 and Xbox One, these games had similar performance issues. So, it becomes clear that those captivating specifications that appeared in 2013’s PlayStation might not work today. So, from this discussion, one thing becomes clear: some hardware limitations stop the PS4 from featuring GTA 6.
Why are developers shifting focus to next-generation consoles?
It seems clear that PS4 will struggle to run GTA 6 as well as we can expect on other next-gen consoles. But if you see the situation from a businessman’s point of view, you will find that Rockstar Games has a strong incentive to do it on the powerful hardware of PS5 and Xbox One X/S. These next-gen platforms boast a significantly larger installed user base if you compare them with PS4.
In addition to this, it was discovered that these new consoles will fetch higher profit margins on game sales. I agree that a PS4 version of GTA 6 cannot be entirely ruled over here, but it is likely that it is a much lower priority. At this moment, their major focus is on maximizing the potential of GTA 6 through updated technology and giving users the best gaming experience ever.
Is there any future possibility of getting the game on PS4?
It is completely agreed that this time developers are focusing on getting aligned with the latest technology. But as the PS4 user base is such a large number, it might be possible they release the game later on PS4. If you look ahead, you will find that there is always a chance that the PS4 version of GTA 6 could be released. However, such a possibility remains a speculation for now. But of course, it is worth noting that PS4 Pro owners might see some major improvements in performance as compared to previous experiences. So, at present, there is keen hope for it.
Conclusion
Summarise the above discussion, I can say that the question numerous players ask remains unanswered. Because developers have not even hinted at this subject. I agree that rumours suggest next-gen exclusivity for PS5 and Xbox One X/S. But the developers need to confirm it once. For sure, the demand for PS4 will bring some historic enhancements to the game. While the PS4 Pro players might see some benefit, until any official can give assurance for the same, so stay tuned with us and official notifications to get the right information at the right time.
