Nintendo, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Rockstar have formed a close marketing alliance on the release of the game, with PlayStation 5 branding announced as representing the premium technical experience. Documents uploaded on the official PlayStation Blog identified the game as making use of hardware specific dualsense elements including extremely sensitive haptic feedback and adaptive triggers with wide range of tension built in. The game will make use of the platform's Tempest 3D AudioTech to identify the race location of sounds within the vast city state of Leonida with high precision and the platform's SSD technologies is expected to achieve almost instant load times.

The estimated size of the Grand Theft Auto 6 budget (taking into account both development and marketing) has already set off a significant shake up in the wider world of entertainment. It is estimated that the project would have a budget of around 1bn 1.5bn which, surpassing a minimum of any other media endeavour in history. Take Two Interactive's chief executive Strauss Zelnick spoke to Business Insider to confirm how ludicrous the expenditure on this project was, but conveyed the enduring notion that the ultimate consumer shell out nonetheless in result to valuing the service which is offered. As a result of the colossal magnitude of the project, other publishers with bigger games care of fallen back on their forecast release, with several large titles moving out of the congested November December window as a result including the Fable prequel due to be launched later being pushed through to the next year.
While console gamers are busy preparing for the autumn release, the initial Game is not set to arrive on the PC for some time. Neither Take Two nor Rockstar Games has confirmed whether there will be a PC release or a time frame for one, but it's likely that they will follow the pattern of previous Take Two releases. Grand Theft Auto 5 took 19 months to reach PC after release on consoles and the sale of the game was split over two parcels, while Red Dead Redemption 2 experienced a 13 month release hiatus. This process remains highly frustrating for PC gamers but allows the developer to optimize a separate platform and extend the buying cycle.
