The GTA 6 PS5 features in the trailer
DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers
The game uses the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers at several moments during play. Sony has not listed every one, but expect weapons and driving to be the main places you feel it. Some sound effects also play through the controller’s speaker.
Tempest 3D Audio
Tempest 3D AudioTech places sound around you, from the streets of Vice City to the wetlands of Grassrivers. You get the most from it with headphones or a compatible speaker setup.
Fast loading
The trailer also points to quick loading thanks to the PS5’s SSD. This one is not unique to PlayStation, since Xbox Series X|S also has fast storage.
Why Sony says it “plays best on PS5”
Sony first made the claim in a PlayStation Blog post in June, when pre-orders opened. It credited a “close partnership” with Rockstar. Sony also gave a free month of GTA+ to fans who pre-ordered on the PlayStation Store.
Note that these are comfort and immersion extras, not a performance gap. Both consoles target 30 fps, as covered in our GTA 6 frame rate report. If you own a PS5 Pro, our PS5 Pro upgrade article explains PSSR and ray-traced shadows.
Pro Tip
Check that haptics and trigger effects are on in your PS5 settings under Accessories > Controllers before launch day. On Xbox One, you can still play through the cloud, as explained in our Xbox Cloud Gaming story.
FAQ
Is GTA 6 a PS5 exclusive?
No. It launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on the same day. Sony has a marketing deal, which is why the trailers carry PlayStation branding.
