According to a report from a reliable insider, Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 will be limited to current-gen consoles only. Rockstar Games is allegedly developing a game that makes full use of the new consoles' advanced capabilities. As a result, players on previous-gen systems like the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One are likely to miss out.
While the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S were released in late 2020, a sizeable chunk of the gaming community is still waiting to get their hands on either. Rockstar Games may be delaying the release of the much anticipated sequel due to this reason as well.
GTA 6 will reportedly release only on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

As per Tom Henderson, a well-known gaming industry insider, Rockstar Games is stalling the release of GTA 6 due to the limited player base on the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S.
Come 2024, these two consoles will presumably reach the midpoint of their life cycles. Hopefully, majority of gamers will have access to either one by that point. According to Tom, Take Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games have been eyeing a 2024 release for this reason.
This report corresponds to Rockstar Games insider Tez2's recent speculation of GTA 6's release date being set around December 2024 or early 2025.
That said, it is common knowledge that Rockstar tends to delay their games by almost a year beyond the planned release date. Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are clear examples of this practice. Hence, it is possible that players will have to wait even longer.
Rockstar Games has always gone above and beyond with every new game. Taking into consideration the incredible design of Red Dead Redemption 2, it is likely that GTA 6 will be too advanced to function as intended on older consoles. That may be the reason why Rockstar has decided to release the game exclusively on current-gen hardware, which are significantly more powerful.
Although the information comes from trusted sources, players are urged to take it with a grain of salt as Rockstar Games is yet to make an official announcement about the sequel.
