TheXbox Series S has proven to be highly controversialthis console generation, with some developers going as far as accusing it of keeping games from reaching their full potential. Indeed, the Xbox Series S has demonstrably caused some headaches, with Larian Studios' difficulty with the weaker system reportedly being one of the reasons behind why Xbox fans had to wait longer forBaldur’s Gate 3. WithGrand Theft Auto 6set to be a graphically-intensive and massively complicated game, there are those who are worried that it will struggle to run the game.
Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has put those concerns to rest.Speaking in Take-Two’s latest earnings call, Zelnick said that the company finds “a way to support platforms despite different levels of tech. Our labels are really good at that.” Zelnick added that he’s “not really worried” about the Xbox Series S. He added that he’s never worried about hardware because he doesn’t have control over that, and he just wants to make sure that the company’s games are “on an array of platforms.” It seems Xbox fans don’t have to worry about the Series S keeping them from playingGrand Theft Auto 6day and date as those on PS5.

Nintendo has yet to reveal the Switch 2, but we know that the console is going to be an upgrade over its predecessor. It may not be as significant of an upgrade required to run something likeGrand Theft Auto 6, but again, we won’t know until it’s actually announced.
For now, the only platforms thatGrand Theft Auto 6is guaranteed to launch on are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.Grand Theft Auto 6will likely come to PC at some pointdown the line as well, but fans shouldn’t expect the game to be available on PC come launch day. Launch day itself has yet to be nailed down, though fans have been reassured that theGTA 6release window is fall 2025.
