GTA 6 Is Coming: Should You Buy a PS5 Now or Wait for the PS6?

The Big Gaming Dilemma

Grand Theft Auto VI is officially arriving on November 19, 2026. That’s exciting news! But there’s a catch: Sony hasn’t announced the PlayStation 6 yet, and rumors say it might show up sooner than we think.

So, what should you do?

• Buy a PS5 now and risk it becoming "old tech" quickly?
• Wait for the PS6 and miss out on playing GTA 6 at launch?

Important Point: You don’t have to choose just one. There’s a middle ground — console subscriptions.

What Is a Console Subscription? (ELI5 Version)

Think of it like Netflix for your PlayStation.

Instead of paying £400–£500 upfront to own a console forever, you pay a small monthly fee to use it. When a newer console comes out (like the PS6), you can swap your current one for the new model — no hassle, no huge cost.

Why This Matters for GTA 6

• You get a PS5 now to play GTA 6 on day one.
• When the PS6 launches, you upgrade instantly.
• You never get stuck with outdated hardware.

What’s GTA 6 Actually About?

Vice City, USA. Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.

FAQ

Is a console subscription better than buying?

Yes, if you want flexibility. You avoid a big upfront cost and can upgrade to the PS6 the moment it launches — without selling your old console.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes! The monthly rolling plan lets you cancel whenever you want. Longer plans (12/24/36 months) save money but require commitment.

Will GTA 6 run well on the PS5 Digital Edition?

Absolutely. The Digital Edition has the same power as the disc version — just no disc drive. GTA 6 is built for current-gen consoles.

What if I want physical game discs?

The Digital Edition only plays downloaded games. If you prefer discs, check if Raylo offers the standard PS5 with a disc drive (availability may vary).

When will the PS6 come out?

Nobody knows. Sony hasn’t announced it. Rumors suggest 2027–2028, but it’s all speculation. A subscription protects you either way.
