In the meantime, fans are upgrading their PS5s for extra storage ahead of the biggest gaming release of the year.
How to upgrade your PS5 before the GTA 6 release
Instead of committing to a console that needs to be replaced when the PS6 arrives, you can opt for a flexible subscription that prioritises access over long-term ownership.
That way, you can upgrade your memory ahead of GTA VI launch day, and when newer hardware becomes available (for instance, the PS6), you can simply choose to upgrade.
Raylo offers a range of subscription services for its bestselling consoles, such as the PS5, Nintendo Switch and VR2.
This gives gamers the flexibility to upgrade your console as soon as newer devices become available.
For instance, Raylo currently offers the following subscription options for the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Console (825GB):
Sony PlayStation5 Digital Edition Console (825GB) subscription prices:
- 36 months: £12.79
- 24 months: £15.49
- 12 months: £21.49
- Monthly rolling (cancel anytime): £30.95
There are also subscriptions available for PS5 with 1TB and 2TB memory cards here.
Alongside gaming consoles, Raylo also offers subscriptions for phones, laptops and monitors.You can learn more about prices and the subscriptions on offer here.
For those looking to pick up a new PS5 before GTA VI launches, Sony reassured fans in its latest 2026 earnings report that the software giant has enough supply to meet demand this financial year.
In the latest 2026 financial report, Sony confirmed: "We have secured the quantity of memory necessary to meet our projected sales volume for FY26."
What console do you need to play GTA 6?
GTA 6 is shaping up to be the biggest game ever made.
If you're going to be playing it properly from day one, it might be worth making sure you're set up to actually do that.
So, make sure to check out the below options before making a decision.
- PS5 Pro - the best option if you want maximum storage, performance, and to future-proof yourself for a game that's going to be updated for years
- Standard PS5 - playable, but you'll be managing storage constantly; if you're buying new, the Pro is worth the step up
- Xbox Series X - the equivalent on the Microsoft side; the Series S will play GTA 6 but with significantly less storage headroom
