To say that GTA 6 is the most anticipated game of 2025 is an understatement. For some, the title from Rockstar Games is nothing other than “the most anticipated video game in history“. And we must admit that, regardless of the interest we have in the GTA license, this sixth opus will clearly constitute a major event, especially when we know the power of the previous episode (GTA V), which has just surpassed 205 million sales since 2013.
Obviously, GTA VI promises to push the technical limits of our favorite video game consoles. Launched in 2020, the PS5 and Xbox Series But what will happen to the small Xbox Series S?
Indeed, according to recent data analyzed by the platform Circanasales of Xbox Series S would be very slightly lower than sales of Xbox Series X. The latest estimates show just under 30 million Xbox Series sold, or possibly 14 million Xbox Series S installed in homes.
As we know, the Xbox Series S (in addition to being 100% digital) is less powerful than the Xbox Series X. Consequently, on certain titles, the Xbox Series S experience may be slightly degraded, with a lower resolution, a more unstable frame rate, a more wobbly technique… This does not prevent it from running titles like Flight Simulator or Hellblade 2, but some wonder (rightly) about its ability to offer a GTA 6 experience worthy of This name.
Recently, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was asked about the difficulty of running big games like GTA 6 on less capable hardware, like the Xbox Series S.We support the platforms where consumers are for as long as they are there, and we find a way to support the platforms despite the different levels of technology. Our teams are really strong in this area. I’m not really worried » replied the boss of Take-Two.
So don’t panic, if there is no doubt that the GTA 6 experience will be optimal on PS5 Pro, but also on PS5/Xbox Series at Rockstar Games… even if it is obvious that (again) you will have to accept certain restrictions. It remains to be seen which ones…
