GTA 6 on PS5 vs Xbox Series X: Which Should You Play On?

Quick answer
Both consoles will run GTA 6 great. Here's how PS5 and Xbox Series X compare on performance, storage and price so you can pick the right one.
GTA 6 launches on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, so if you own either, you’re covered. But if you’re buying a console specifically for it, here’s how they stack up.
Quick answer
For most players it’s a wash — both deliver excellent performance. Choose based on your existing library, friends’ platform, and price at the time you buy.
Performance
Xbox Series X has a slight raw-power edge on paper, while PS5 is neck-and-neck in real-world games. Expect a smooth, high-fidelity experience on both. PS5 Pro owners may see the best visuals.
Storage
GTA 6 will be large — plan for a fast NVMe SSD upgrade on either console so you’re not deleting other games. See our recommended accessories and gear.
Bottom line
Get whichever console your friends are on (for GTA Online) and whichever is cheaper when you buy. You won’t go wrong either way.
