GTA 6 release news: PS5 and Xbox Series X report is great for Grand Theft Auto fans


Rumours have been rife concerning the next Grand Theft Auto title from Rockstar Games.

But fans are still waiting to find out when GTA 6 will be coming out and if it will be happening in 2020.

This is when the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles will be arriving, albeit, at the end of the year.

And so far we have been relying on internet rumours and work done by enthusiasts to spot clues, hoping to find out more about the next major console launch.

It seems very likely that the next game will be available to play on the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

But there are still major question marks regarding GTA 6 arriving on PS4 and Xbox One consoles.

There has yet to be a GTA game released on PS4 and Xbox One that has been built solely with those consoles in mind.

Many gamers will remember that GTA 5 originally came out on Xbox 360 and PS3, before being upscaled to PS4, Xbox One, and finally, PC.

So there are still lingering hopes that something like this will happen with GTA 6 in 2020.

A cross-generational launch which would allow a massive pool of players to enjoy the latest Grand Theft Auto adventure.

But a new rumour posted online suggests that GTA 6 is being made for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

This would mean a generation skip and would also provide Rockstar Games with much more powerful consoles to play with.

The online rumour has to be taken with a pinch of salt and could be just one of a number of hoaxes posted online.

One thing fans have pointed out about the report shared in October is that it includes references to both Ray Tracing and some kind of 8K functionality.

Without much 8K support around in the way of TVs and screens, it seems a little premature to be making games with such features.

But these new rumours were posted weeks before Microsoft themselves announced they were planning for 8K with its new console.

Here’s what Microsoft confirmed about its Xbox Series X console, which is releasing holiday 2020:

“We will remove the technical barriers faced in previous generations and enable developers to create more expansive, immersive gaming worlds that invite more players to play.

“From a technical standpoint, this will manifest as world-class visuals in 4K at 60FPS, with the possibility of up to 120FPS, including support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and 8K capability.

“Powered by our custom-designed processor leveraging the latest Zen 2 and next generation RDNA architecture from our partners at AMD, Xbox Series X will deliver hardware-accelerated ray tracing and a new level of performance never before seen in a console.

“Additionally, our patented Variable Rate Shading (VRS) technology will allow developers to get even more out of the Xbox Series X GPU and our next-generation SSD will virtually eliminate load times and bring players into their gaming worlds faster than ever before.

This doesn’t corroborate the latest reports, but it helps to rule them out as being technically impossible.

The source claims that a GTA 6 announcement will be coming in 2020, with a release being planned for later that year, or 2021.

So while this latest rumour won’t make great reading for PS4 and Xbox One gamers, it is something to get excited about if you’re planning to upgrade your console next year.
