This isn’t the first time Rockstar has left a generation behind. Grand Theft Auto III redefined open-world gaming on the PS2, leaving the PS1 in the dust.
Then came GTA IV on the PS3, which made the PS2 version of San Andreas feel like a vintage cartoon. Each leap forward has been a cultural reset.
Even GTA V, which launched on PS3, eventually got a souped-up re-release for PS4 and PS5. The pattern is clear: Rockstar always pushes the envelope, and sometimes the envelope rips in half.

Fun Fact: The Last Generation’s Secret Weapon
Did you know the PS4 is actually one of the best-selling consoles of all time? Over 117 million units have been sold. That’s more than the entire population of Japan.
But even a giant can’t hold back the tide of progress. The PS4’s slow hard drive and old CPU are like using a 56k modem in a fiber-optic world.
Rockstar’s decision isn’t about being mean to fans. It’s about wanting to build something that feels truly next-gen, not just a prettier version of last year’s model.
