The wait between Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto 6 has heightened the expectations for the sequel. With the previous installment achieving insane success and selling over 205 million copies across multiple generations of consoles, it's on the developers, Rockstar Games, to deliver another groundbreaking experience.
But, how is Rockstar supposed to make GTA 6 such a record-breaking title if it's going to be released on Xbox Series S — along with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X?
Well, as it turns out, fans have no reason to worry about GTA 6's performance on the Xbox Series S.
Microsoft's less powerful and more economically priced console hasn't enjoyed the best reputation since it came out. Things have only gotten worse over the past year as developers and industry analysts have become vocal about the difficulties that they've faced and currently facing in optimizing games to run on significantly weaker hardware.
However, if you ask Take-Two Interactive CEO, Strauss Zelnick, there's no reason to worry. In the same earnings call where Zelnick doubled down on GTA 6's release date, he addressed concerns about GTA 6's performance on the Xbox Series S and expressed his confidence in Rockstar's ability to deliver a quality title across all supported platforms, saying, "our labels are really good at supporting platforms despite different levels of tech."
Zelnick's assurances extend beyond just the Xbox Series S, as he touched on the company's broader approach to platform support. "We support the platforms where the consumers are for as long as they're there," he explained.
Interestingly, Zelnick also hinted at GTA 6's PC version. It's worth noting that a PC port of GTA 6 is currently in development, as leaked by Rockstar a few months ago. The same leak also contained information about the incoming Grand Theft Auto 5: Expanded and Enhanced PC port, which is now confirmed for sometime early next year.
