Sony is said to buy GTA 6 advantages
Between Sony and Rockstar Games, an important marketing deal for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is apparently borne out. The agreement could bring PlayStation 5 owners exclusive advantages. However, both partners do not comment on the circulating rumors.
Technical optimization in focus
Sony and Rockstar Games Negotiate reports reportedly About an extensive marketing deal for GTA 6. The agreement is to be officially announced before the summer of 2025. This could mean special advantages for the more than 70 million Playstation 5 owners. The partnership should focus primarily on the technical optimization of GTA 6 for the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro. Current games like Assassins Creed Shadows are already demonstrating the performance of the new Pro console.
The collaboration could have a particularly impact on graphics quality and performance of the open world title. There are also rumors that the second official trailer for GTA 6 will be released in April. Further details could then be published at the same time as the marketing deal with Sony. The strategy appears understandable: With around 30 million more units sold, the Playstation 5 is well in front of the Xbox Series X/S. The PC version of GTA 6 should only appear later, which underlines the focus on consoles.
Effects on the industry?
The release of GTA 6 planned for autumn 2025 will shape the gaming industry. While smaller developer studios are concerned about the possible market dominance of the title, Greg Rice, Head of PlayStation Creators, sees especially opportunities.
GTA 6 is the best, great and gigantic game of the year, that much is safe. I hear many developers who see it critically. You are afraid that it could take the entire place. They say ‘I don’t want to publish anything in the GTA week or the GTA month, because people will not play anything else’. (..) Numerous people will also move back to the ecosystem. Greg Rice
