Rockstar and Sony announce collaboration for Grand Theft Auto VI with PlayStation 5 optimization
Sony and Rockstar Games confirmed this Wednesday, June 24, a partnership to ensure that the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI offers an enhanced gaming experience on PlayStation 5. The title’s global launch is scheduled for November 19, transporting players to the vibrant state of Leonida, home to the iconic Vice City and other vast areas, making up the largest universe ever created for the series.
Enthusiasts will be able to pre-order the game from June 25th, at midnight (local time), directly through the PlayStation Store. Among the available options, Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition will include a package of benefits such as exclusive vehicles, special weapons, personalized costumes and complementary narrative content, deepening the story of the characters Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
Immersion in Grand Theft Auto VI with DualSense features
On the Sony console, Grand Theft Auto VI will be developed to take advantage of the capabilities of the DualSense wireless controller, intensifying immersion during the campaign. Sony Interactive Entertainment detailed that haptic feedback will be more precise, reacting to the player’s actions with different vibrations, while adaptive triggers will dynamically adjust resistance at specific moments in gameplay.
The speaker integrated into the controller will also be used to emit sound effects in crucial interactions and situations, combining them with haptic feedback to bring the player even closer to the events unfolding in the narrative.
