Overview
- Rockstar's extended 26‑minute GTA 6 presentation, filmed on PS5 hardware and shown on Netflix, reignited consumer interest in higher‑end PlayStation systems.
- By Monday, August 31, the PS5 Pro was listed as out of stock at major U.S. retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target and PlayStation Direct.
- Rockstar has confirmed GTA 6 will target 30 frames per second on PS5 and said the game will include unspecified enhancements for the PS5 Pro.
- Third‑party and resale listings surged, with reported prices for PS5 Pro units climbing into the roughly $1,299–$1,400 range and some sellers charging well above MSRP.
- Restocks are constrained by prior component‑cost pressures and Sony's March price increase to $899, which could keep supply tight before GTA 6's November 19 launch and leave buyers reliant on scalpers or used markets.
