From the moment 4-year-old Cameron first stepped out into Glimmer in Spyro 2, he knew video games were going to play a central role in the rest of his life. Though he never planned to make it the focal point of his career, Cameron spent the vast majority of his spare time growing up playing games, and following graduation from the University of Reading, he thought he’d try his hand at writing a few reviews. Flash forward five years (four of which have been spent at GameRant) and Cameron’s passion for gaming has only grown. Whether it’s covering daily news, writing a personal feature, interviewing a developer, reviewing the latest title, or being sent across the world to preview an upcoming game, Cameron adores it all, and he wouldn’t trade any of it for the world.
As eager fans finally get ready to pre-order Grand Theft Auto 6, Sony teases that the long-awaited open-world action game “plays best” on PlayStation 5. Along with the base PS5’s powerful SSD and DualSense integration, Grand Theft Auto 6 will reportedly benefit from exclusive PS5 Pro features.
Grand Theft Auto 6 “Plays Best” on PS5 and PS5 Pro
In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Senior Vice President of SIE Marketing Mary Yee stated that Grand Theft Auto 6 “will play best on PS5” due to the console’s “immersive features.” More specifically, Yee points out the PS5’s DualSense controller, and states that it will react to the player’s actions, “bringing the sights, sounds, and sensations of Jason and Lucia’s story into the palm of your hands.” Haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the DualSense’s built-in speaker will all play a role in Grand Theft Auto 6‘s gameplay on PlayStation 5.
The PlayStation 5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech is also mentioned in the latest PlayStation Blog post, with Yee claiming that the “highly accurate audio positioning enhances your perception, helping to bring this world to life around you in unmatched ways.” The PS5’s SSD is then highlighted, with it reportedly delivering “near-instant” load times in Grand Theft Auto 6.
Over on the PlayStation Store, the official Grand Theft Auto 6 listing seemingly confirms that the game will also benefit from PlayStation 5 Pro support, with the ‘PS5 Pro Enhanced’ label being clearly visible at the top of the store page. It’s not currently clear just how GTA 6 will leverage the extra power of the PS5 Pro, but it’s very possible that the game will make use of the system’s unique PSSR feature to upscale the game’s graphical fidelity.
