Will GTA 6 make PS5 owners upgrade to PS5 Pro?

Probably for some people, yes — but not for everyone.

GTA 6 could be a big reason some PS5 owners consider upgrading to a PS5 Pro, especially players who care about sharper image quality, more stable performance, and possibly better ray tracing. But it’s not something you can treat as guaranteed. Whether the PS5 Pro feels meaningfully better will depend on Rockstar’s final optimization, the game’s graphics modes, and how much the game is limited by CPU versus GPU.

So the short answer is:

• Yes, it may convince graphics-focused players to upgrade.
• No, it probably won’t be a must-upgrade for everyone.
• The size of the benefit is still uncertain until launch details are confirmed.

Because GTA 6’s final performance on PS5 and PS5 Pro hasn’t been fully confirmed, exact results could change closer to release.
