Ultimately though, this is going to be a very demanding game.<\/p>\n<p>New video of Vice City in GTA 6. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/49k2v3KJFt\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/49k2v3KJFt<\/a>\u2014 DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DiscussingFilm\/status\/2067614527374475752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">June 18, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re encouraged by the fact that GTA 6 is specifically being developed for consoles instead of PC at launch, so you&#8217;d think it&#8217;d be optimised really well for them &#8211; let&#8217;s not forget that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/games\/xbox-360\/grand_theft_auto_v\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GTA 5<\/a> was originally an Xbox 360 game that performed well enough until the next generation rolled around, and we&#8217;ll likely see a similar situation again here.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s impossible not to have a little bit of fear about the Xbox Series S version though. Microsoft&#8217;s lower-powered console has consistently managed to keep up over the past six years, but trying to make a game like GTA 6 run well on the system is surely proving a challenge for Rockstar. Then again, some incredible-looking titles have managed it!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s hear from you, then &#8211; how well do you think GTA 6 will perform on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S? Do you think it&#8217;ll manage to hit a stable 30FPS? Maybe even go higher?
