Poll: Do You Think GTA 6 Will Release on PS4?

Absolutely freaking not.

I certainly hope not ...It probably won't, though. The next gen install base is getting large enough and they definitely want to stay far away from hardware that ancient for their biggest release ever, if not just to avoid negative press but also the visuals and technology not getting held back at all. They've spent a lot on this and want it to look the part. It'll make billions regardless.

I mean if it still runs on the old GTA5/rdr2 engine it should be fine. I hope they don't split the campaign and Multiplayer like the only way to play campaign is to buy PS5.

I'd feel aggrieved!

Shooting the quality of the game in the foot and they absolutely do not need the money.

Until Spidey 2, Sony kept releasing the games on PS4, so why the hell not?

I think Switch 2 will get GTA6 and a reasonable expectation for that console is base PS4 power. So Rockstar releases it on both.

If it doesn't release on last gen or Switch 2, I think it'll be another Baldur's Gate 3 situation where the Series S massively hurts the Xbox experience.

I’ll be fuming if it is. It would mean a lot of features won’t be implemented unless the game has an ‘expansion map’ only useable on next gen but even then it wouldn’t be the full game utilised for next gen.

I guess its possible if they are targeting 4k/60 on a PS5 and could scale it down to 30fps and 1080p (or lower). It really depends on whether it was built in a way to scale across generations or not - no one thought RDR2 was a bad looking/playing game when it released - even if they 'could' scale it up for PS5.

If its built with features and/or certain ways, it may not be possible to Scale down. For example, if they rely on RT GI with 'no' traditional option for less capable hardware or rely on SSDs as fundamental to the game-play, then it won't release on last gen hardware. If there isn't enough of a market on old hardware, they won't scale it down for sales as they need to recoup costs too.

I really doubt it. But I'm wondering if they will release it on Switch 2

Going off the leaked footage ,not a chance in hell

I hope not. 5 was fantastic but is so held back by releasing on PS3, I really hope they learned and will make this current gen only, we know it'll get insane support for the next decade, I hope that support can take advantage of current power.

I think it's obvious that it'll release for ps4 as well, would be pretty surprising if it didn't.

Stick a really basic GTA Online II, on PS4 for £100 and have the full GTA 6 on PS5 for £70 👍

Let the online marks be marks if they want, but give us something properly game changing if you can still do that R*

No but it will launch on PS5 and then PS6 and then PS7...

i don't even own a ps5 and yet i absolutely do not want this released on ps4. gta games usually push the hardware and set benchmarks for other games to aspire to — that cannot happen if they were hamstrung with the old ps4. hell, even if conversations were had between rockstar and sony with regards to ps4 support, i won't be surprised if sony shut them down and encouraged rockstar to go the ps5 exclusive route. that isn't to say it is impossible but it would be quite pathetic for the gaming industry at large to see innovation yet again thrown out the window for greed.

The engine is pretty scalable if they're using the same as RDR2/GTAV so I don't see why not.

Give the PS4 a 30fps 1080-ish game and give the current gen a 1080-ish upscaled 60fps game with more fx and better textures/whatever. Could work fine.

If it's said to be one of the most expensive games ever made then yes 110% unfortunately, profits need to made I guess.

Why not release on PS4? Design for PS5, then scale down for the PS4. It’s a too big of a user-base to ignore.

Rockstar have pretty much given up supporting last gen consoles in GTAO, they're not going to launch the next GTA on them.

If they do release it on both I'm sorry but I simply won't buy it just on principal.

PS4 should be dead in the water by this point

It would be sooo underwhelming after waiting all this time

God I hope not this new generation only please.

I don't think so, just for the reason that I see this title (the new GTA online) as a forever title.

@Bondi_Surfer

I personally don't buy into that too big of a user base to ignore argument anymore. It was valid when the PS5 first launched but by now most PS4 owners will have either upgraded or simply don't use their PS4 anymore.

There are over 101 million Nintendo Wii's out there in the wild...... why not release GTA 6 on that???

@starbuck2212 you just predicted the future lol

Yes. And ONLY on ps4/xbox One. Since They never made a GTA for ps4/xbox one, they’ll want to rerelease it in a year or two for ps5/xbox s/x to double dip. And then again for ps6/ Xbox whatever

My gut reaction is no, but when you consider how long it's been in development and how much it hypothetically has cost to make... well, it seems more and more likely.

I honestly don't care since I'm not a fan of the series.

I think they should put GTA 6 on Xbox One and ps4 because they did gta5 on PS3 and Xbox 360 and know look it's on Xbox one/series and PS4/PS5 so why not do GTA 6 for the people who are still using old console

@Member_the_game

OK, let's tease your theory out that "most" PS4 owners have upgraded to PS5. There have been 117.2 million PS4 sales according to Google and 40 million PS5 sales. I don't think approximately 1/3 equals most.

@Bondi_Surfer A game designed for PS5 won't work on PS4.

First thing they should do is make sure the controls are sorted out, RDR2's were utter ***** lol. I love the game but when I'm trying to buy something and then I shotgun blast a guy in the face I'm not having a good time, and neither is that guy.

Considering how many copies of GTA 5 they've sold across PS360 and PS4/XBO there is no way on Earth they gonna skip PS4. They saw how much money they can make.

Better question will be if they release GTA6 on PS6 and PS7?

@RudeAnimat0r

Are you seriously trying to tell me that all 77 million that haven't upgraded still play on them?

Obviously I'm not naieve enough to think that nobody still uses them (clearly they do) but I'd be will to bet that a vast majority of them are either used as glorified DVD players at best or simply gathering dust somewhere

I hope it's not for PS4 as well, but if it is at least I'll be able to use Save Wizard with it.

Defo on ps4. Money talks

@Member_the_game @RudeAnimat0r
Now i have no problem with games being PS5 only and perhaps GTA VI should be that's, the way forward. But certainly for some level of games PS4 release is logical.

A quick search myself found as of June 23 there were 108 million active PSN users, if only 40 million PS5 consoles have been sold, thats 68 million active PS4/PS3 users at least.

That's a lot of potential sales....and certainly not just gathering dust.

I won’t believe will even release for PS5 (or current Xbox). Or PS6 / PS7 /PS8 and so on.

Will not believe of any next GTA until formally released.

@AdamNovice And will unfortunately set such a precedent for future ‘AAA’ titles.

You are talking 12-18month potentially. That’s a lot more ps5’s sold.

A ps4 release would not help out.

I blood well hope not! Don’t want it to be held back (technically) because of a last-gen release. Let’s face it, GTA 6 won’t release until next autumn/fall at the earliest, by which time the PS4 will be 11 years old!

@TheMysticOne @RudeAnimat0r

That's a fair point.

Another thing to consider though is that this game isn't releasing today it will likely be towards the end of next year.

It's not out of the question that PS5 will have another 25 - 30 million sales under its belt by that point.

I don't mean to sound argumentative and obviously my Nintendo Wii user base reference was a joke but as a day one PS5 owner it really really annoyed me when they kept releasing games as cross gen.

I could understand it maybe for the first 6 months or so but we're 3 years down the line now and and it has to stop.

I didn't spend all that money on a PS5 to play games that I could have played on my PS4

Nope, not a chance it launches on PS4/xbone.

PS4 is creaking as it is and for those that mention switch 2 is rumoured so will make it to PS4. Difference being switch 2 will have DLSS to upscale images using AI.

PS4 doesn't have that luxury atleast not on a hardware level.

It's not happening.

Think about it this way:

• there are games that do not want to miss out on old gen sales
• then there is freaking R* that does not care to release it elsewhere because people will buy PS5 just for this game. 😅

Nah needs to be true next gen, let the last gen die now please

We will see.i know that grand theft auto 6 is going to be amazing.word up son

It’s only a week away from being 10yo at this point. Devs should stop or at least slow down doing production on last gen consoles but knowing Take Two as a company, they definitely want PS4 versions of the game. Hell I bet Take Two would try to have a super scuff version for the Switch too. So wouldn’t be surprised if we see last gen and switch versions of GTA6

I can see a reality where it does show up on PS4. However I doubt it will because if there is one game series that it's fanbase will buy whatever hardware they need in order to play the new entry, it's GTA so I don't think we need to worry about that.

If it does, I may refuse to buy it. Boycott GTA 6 . For 24hrs anyway.

When do the people who voted 'yes' think this game will be released?! The PS5 might be five years old when it comes out.

@thaidanh

Switch2 maybe but not the og. GTAV never came to it so why would they try cramming 6 in?

Though I'm tempted to grab RDR on it but 60fps on the current gen is too good to pass up.

@3Above They'll make even more money with this one. As it'll have online from the off. They can still release it again on the PS6 and PS7 so it'll have the same longevity and money making ability as 5.

I hope so as PS4 is for life!

Doubt it - games sell well enough without last-gen now

I really don't see it happening.

There's only one way to make sure everyone buys a ps5 as soon as possible, just make gta6 exclusive for it.

If it arrives on PS4 and Xbox One then everyone involved deserves a slap in face.

Although I may actually wait for the inevitable PS7 port in 9 years time.

Rockstar games always look like they’re a generation behind so it’s a real possibility imo. If it looks like a PS4 game, there’s a good chance it will be released on PS4.

@HMazzy111 personally I'm all for Current Gen only releases
but as @Grumblevolcano pointed out with the Switch 2 likely being PS4 to Ps4 Pro levels of performance and that fact that EA is porting SW Jedi Survivor to PS4 (likey to coincide with Switch 2) I would not be surprised is Rockstar does the same.

That would be horrible.

They should save their energies for porting to PS6 and PS7.

I wouldn't really care if it did, I don't really agree with the theory that an old gen port is holding the new one back.
Anyway it's rockstars biggest franchise, I'm sure they'd only do it if it looked great on PS4.

I rather ask whitch third party developer won't release it on PS4? No one cares power of system, everybody cares number of sold systems. That is simple logic.

And another thing... No one still takes PS5 seriously, even SONY. It is that black sheep (in ugly white furr).

I’d be shocked, but stranger things have happened.

GTA6 will be the biggest „conventional“ video game in the world, by budget and sales targets. It also aims on the casual console gamers, who almost only buy their CoD and FC/Madden each and every year, and almost nothing else. And many of these casual gamers still play on their PS4 and Xbox One. So definitely YES.

maybe not at launch, but eventually maybe ? similar to cyberpunk.

but honestly, i hope it wont because expectations for this game is of next-gen caliber. and it should be on ps5, with a future remaster or something of the next console generation and yet still feel better than what is made elsewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised at all.

It's Rockstar - maximizing profits is tantamount. They would have no issue whatsoever limiting their game's prowess if it meant moving tens of millions of extra copies on older hardware.

They also know they're controversy-proof. It doesn't matter if a bunch of enthusiasts make a fuss online when their massive mainstream audience is going to buy the product all the same.

It did wonders for cyberpunk trying to push the old hardware 😂 Ps5 only.

@sword_9mm sometimes the greed is real. For example MK1, released not for last gen but randomly ported to the switch. With the amount of switches that are out there and how much hype is behind GTA6, an half ass port of to the switch isn’t beyond reason for Take Two to try to take advantage of to make easy money.

They'll be re-releasing it on PS6 for sure and maybe PS7 so I highly doubt it. It'll be another GTA with huge legs, PS4 isn't going to factor into that.

I just bought a modded PS2 Slim so I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to play it on that. I just prefer the DualShock 2.

@Splat Why? If it comes to PS4 we have a chance of a 60FPS game on PS5. If it only comes to PS5 they will make sure it only runs at 30FPS.

Take Two will do it to not miss out on profit. I hope not though so they can add better AI, physics and levels to the game but unfortunately these companies want to squeeze profit anyway they can.

Just give us a single player experience that's not terrible. Other than that I don't care.

Article just be trolling PS4 owners. @weeniebeenie said it all, it's not about PS4 install base, this will have long legs like GTAV, so they're gonna be looking at long term profit from when people migrate to PS5 and continue that to PS6. They'd compromise too much in creativity, realism with no bugs if they consider PS4.
@Max_the_German except Rockstar doesn't release games every year, can't really put GTA and COD in the same sentence.

I wouldn't. All of those who want a PS4 should have one by now.

I think its time to leave PS4 behind. It's time to concentrate on PC, PS5, Series X, and Switch 2.

@Stragen8 PS3 was first console 5 released on. It didn’t release on PS3 an PS4 simultaneously.

@Dman10 Do young think the Switch 2 will be much faster than a PS4?

Bet it'll look luvverly on the Pro

I voted no way on the PS4, buuuut, it could when it is considered that GTA 5 released on the PS3 and then 4 a year later. However a 2024 or 2025 release of 6 would be 4 or 5 years after the PS5 release.

Overall I only want 6 on current gen and at 60fps. Hopefully the controls and weather effects are improved from GTA5.

Can't wait playing it on the ps4

/s

I don't think it will launch on ps4,but who knows anything is possible,got a feeling though that it'll be ps5 only

As well as pc and series x of course

@Sanctanox no one knows. But I hope so.

@GloriosaDaisy not sure how you're seeing that. A GTA on 15 year old tech on release. From the footage it's never happening

@themightyant and let's not forget on release the PS5 will be on 80m+. They'd be stupid to have it on last gen

Depends how long it is development. I heard they spend 2 billion on the game the need to make it back. But personally I think it's this gen only and PC.

Sorry but this is a stupid question.of course NOT! 0 % chance. Gta 6 will have new software hardware etc for only new generations. Dont make whos dont have a ps5 dream.

VR compatibility please

If they keep releasing games on PS4 ,people will never move to current gen. I hope Rockstar put it on current Generation it makes perfect sense nothing will hold it back simples.

GTA4 released 2 years after PS3 came out and wasn't on PS2.

PS4 is a weak dead console now, let it die respectably.

@CAKESPECTRE999 if people are happy with their PS4 then what's the problem? Next gen should be offering something that makes people want to buy it, upgraded visuals or whatever. Not just not releasing a game to force people to do it.
I upgraded from PS3 to PS4 because of a game that was out on both systems, final fantasy 14. The nicer graphics on PS4 lured me in.
But if someone is happy with their current machine that's fine.

@Balosi it's not next Gen , ps5 is current Generation & PS4 is last generation. If people are happy with their ps4s fair play but playstation 4s are 10 years old or near enough so they are at the end of their life cycle & Covid & the chip shortage caused ps5 supply problems in the 1st couple of years, if the ps5 had been more freely available PS4 would have been phased out earlier so you know don't shoot the messenger, games are still coming out on the PS4 but there comes a time when all the software companies need to focus on current Generation consoles cause last generation is like an anchor holding current generation back, not trying to ruin ya cornflakes bruv.

@Balosi also current generation does offer people something better graphics,SSD , awesome games like Spiderman 2 , god of war Ragnarok, play a ps5 on an oled TV mate on performance mode its a thing of beauty, but if your happy with your PS4 fair play.

@CAKESPECTRE999 I have a ps5, I'm just saying if they are able to make a PS4 version then good for them. I am uncertain with the theory that that older gen versions are holding back current gen, it's a topic that has only appeared recently.
New games appearing well on older consoles used to be celebrated as an achievement. I find it weird that it has been turned upside down lately.

Unlikely. With that being said, I don't really think that the PS4 is the bottleneck most think it is. I've only played a couple of pure PS5 exclusives that look better than the best PS4 games, like RDR2 and TLoU2. I really think Rockstar would have to go all out to leave the PS4 behind entirely (although that wouldn't surprise me). That was one piece of powerful hardware.

This new GTA game (if it's called GTA 6 or something else) will probably bee current gen only. And the brand is so strong that it will boost console sales and maybe get bundled with the PS5.

But who knows, this is just my 2 cents.

Let's hope not ! Cmon guys the PS5 is 3 years old already, time to move one from your old machine

Oh hell no!
Let the PS5 show it's full power for a freaking bit already, before it gets to be replaced by the Pro version...

@Member_the_game

Sure agreed, i am still only a PS4 owner yet i won't consider buying games such as Elden Ring or Hogwarts until i have a PS5.

I do see smaller indie games that don't use massive resources such as overcooked releasing on PS4 for some time.

So we can be held by back by an outdated console some more ??No thanks, it's more than time now to be even considering it for a decade old console, but its rockstar, if they think it will earn them more, you can be sure they will do it sadly,
So no I don't want it on the ps4.
Reality it probably will be

Nah no chance.

Of course it will, there's still a HUGE PS4 userbase out there which means even more $$$$$$$$.

GTA6 will still sell millions even if there's PS3 version, they don't care about new gen anymore or we would have seen PS5 exclusive DLC for GTA5, or at least decent ports of the GTA trilogy, RDR or even a 60fps RDR2 patch.

No it's all about the multiplayer and getting the player numbers high to get that large revenue stream from the start.

This has been in development for a long time - of course they will have had a PS4 version on the go? Unless they choose to drop it now the install base for PS5 is higher, then of course it will still have a PS4 version! Since when have Take 2 not wanted all the money?

I am in to gaming a nice friendly gaming community...why not release it on the PS4 and PS5 for the nice gaming community.

I hope not, just because I want to see what the next GTA is able to pull off with more horsepower, without having to worry about old tech. That said, I also wouldn’t be surprised if it happened…

If I had to bet, I’d say it only comes out on newer gen and they’ll keep the current GTA Online running for older consoles for 2-3 more years before pulling the plug and telling the playerbase that they’ll need to move over to GTA 6/Online 2.

It would have been developed for the PS4 and PS5 and it will be interesting to see if it's economically viable enough for T2 to drop the PS4 version.

Red Dead Redemption 2 showed that Rockstar can do a lot in terms on graphics, detail and complex game systems on PS4 but it would be nice to see them push even further with the PS5.

Did anyone else vote yes just because they thought it would be funny?

@Lup TLOU P1 was definitely earlier, but do we count that as a proper release?

Aside from the question of the next GTA, it's interesting to see how some people see the ps4 as "old" and "outaded" like it's useless and near to its death or dead already.

My wii u is close to retirement; no new games since BotW, the eshop shutting down this year and online servers on next april.

How about the ps4 ? Plenty of games still releasing, not all of them but even AAA, and the eshop still going strong with newly updates and tons of sales. I don't play online so I can't tell for sure (on wii u there're still people !) but even if it's obvious that we are closer to the end than the beginning, it is far from calling it a dead console.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the new GTA will get a port on ps4, as well as the successor of the switch if the issue is only technical.

I'd like to see it PS5-only (and PC and Xbox Series because the game shouldn't be exclusive). I think the PS4 would be holding it back. But I could see them doing it.

@starbuck2212 hahahahahahaha sooooo fing TRUE!

GTAV had incredibly long legs, spanning 10 years and 3 console generations. No doubt Rockstar anticipates the same sales tail for GTA 6. They’ll probably prefer not being technologically stifled and releasing on a smaller install base (PS5), knowing that the game will be a incredible profit churner quarter after quarter as more players buy PS5s.

I dont think it will release on ps4. Maybe the ps4 can run the game but i think rockstar will stay it on next gen consoles, to sell the game as a big next gen release.

If its possible, why not.

They won't. Nothing will cause more ps5 sales than having Gta6 only available on...well...ps5. in terms of pure profit it could benefit from a ps4 release, but they 'll have to compromise a lot. It's not just simply downscaling the game. But i guess Sony will go for more ps5 owners, meaning more revenue in the upcoming years

I’d be so pissed if it released on PS4.

It will certainly release on older consoles as well, but in much downgraded versions in term of loading times, textures and lighting. I can’t see Rockstar refusing money from the gigantic amount of players who still don’t own a PS5. Especially since PS4 owners will probably be willing to spend money for a PS5 upgrade later as well. And we know Rockstar is a studio with a very business-oriented mindset. What I can also see however is a massive backlash regarding GTA VI performances on older consoles at launch. We could end up with a similar situation as the Cyberpunk launch, with technical issues plaguing the game on older consoles. But Rockstar will sell tones of copies on PS4 despite every technical issues, so they really wouldn’t mind going forward with it. And for anyone who’d answer me that Rockstar games are usually pretty stable at launch, I suggest you take a look at the Definitive Editions debacle and how Rockstar handled it. The main priority for them is to make as much money as possible on a game, they really don’t care about the « current gen console only » narrative.

There's no way it'll be available on PS4.

Rockstar will want to use the PS5 to showcase GTA6's graphics and performance and they won't want it held back by having to make it playable on old architecture.

Also, they'll be looking to the future - they'll be expanding GTA6 for the next 10 years or more on PS5, by which time the PS4 will be ancient history.

No chance. We're probably still a year, if not longer, away from release where the install base for PS5 will be even higher. Plus, let's face it, if there's anyone that hasn't jumped into the new-gen yet, they absolutely will for GTA6.

Hopefully we'll find out in a few weeks.

Nah I doubt it especially if they wanna avoid a cyberpunk situation. Plus the only reason companies kept releasing games on old Gen was because the PS5 use to be incredibly hard to get. But that's no longer an issue and hasn't been for at least a year maybe even longer depending on where you are. Plus GTA 6 is still at least a year or 2 from release. Giving people with a ps4 still plenty of time to upgrade. And with Black Friday and Christmas close you can guarantee plenty more people will be soon

I know rockstar better than the back of my hand, I'll be VERY surprised if it releases on ps4.

Even financially, it doesn't make sense. This is going to be a long term live service style game (online portion) so why do it for dwindling sales over the years.

@Ravix sounds like you are a bit of a mark yourself to be honest mate. Happy with games costing £70 when only 10 years ago GTA V was half the price. Inflation ain't increased that much.

@Pingusbumhole ooooooerrrr 😁

Of course I'm a mark for games I like, and I pay what I deem worth it on a game by game basis lol. Don't take offense to my initial throw away comment that people who play GTA online would easilly pay £100 for a stripped back ps4 version with online only, they clearly would. They would probably pay more if you stick some shark cards in there lol. And I won't be paying £70 for any £70 listed game either way, that is just the RRP I mentioned.

Why am I even responding hahahaha have a good weekend, don't get offended by my random gta online mark comment 😇

@Ravix hahaha fair enough lad. Shopto and gamesharing for the win!!

Hopefully there will be a physical release or me no buy.
