Is Rockstar releasing a GTA 6 Xbox 360 version?

Modified Apr 01, 2025 15:39 GMT

A recent X post regarding a supposed GTA 6 Xbox 360 version from a well-known gaming news website is raising eyebrows in the community. The much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto sequel is scheduled to release later this year, and so far, has only been confirmed for Current-Gen consoles. But the X post linked an article that claims there could be a "Throwback Edition" for Xbox 360.

However, it should be noted that this version is not real and the post, as well as the article, are just a joke, given that today (April 1) is quite the occasion for such pranks. For those intrigued, here's a closer look.

Earlier today, Insider Gaming posted on X, claiming they had exclusive information about a GTA 6 Xbox 360 version named the "Throwback Edition." Naturally, the post got a fair bit of attention.

As mentioned, it was linked to an article on their website, which claimed to have exclusive information about this version. It stated that this would be a "restricted", low-resolution version of Grand Theft Auto 6 for the Xbox 360, that would be priced at $199.99. These details were presented in the form of quotes from a Rockstar Games representative.

However, readers should note that all of this is just an April Fools' joke. Here's the statement from the end of the article:

"For more Insider Gaming coverage, check out the news that it’s April 1st and none of this is real"

It should also be noted that the Rockstar Games representative mentioned in this article was named "Don Beleevit". This was a clear giveaway that the Throwback Xbox 360 port of Grand Theft Auto 6 is a joke since the name is a creative way of writing "Don't believe it."
