A recent survey revealed that demand for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 is significantly higher than on Xbox Series X|S. The analysis indicates that the volume of reservations for Sony’s console exceeds that of its competitor by six times, signaling a marked preference for the PS5 version of the eagerly awaited title.
Regarding advance purchases, a report from The Game Business detailed, based on statements from an anonymous retailer, that demand for consoles may exceed availability.

“We have been advised that due to persistent challenges in the hardware component supply chain, we will not receive the desired units prior to the release of GTA 6. Demand is projected to outpace supply during the holiday season.” The statement highlights the sector’s concern.
