GTA 6 Trailers 1 & 2 Descriptions Updated to Feature PS5 Links With No Mention of Xbox
While Grand Theft Auto VI is a multiplatform game that will be released simultaneously on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, it’s clear that the game is favoring the PS5 version, and that’s due to Take-Two Interactive and Sony’s co-marketing deal.
For those unaware, this sort of thing is common wherein the platform holder that brokered a deal with the publisher has marketing rights, which means their logo is used in marketing, gameplay is from their platform, and more.
But it seems Take-Two Interactive has taken it one step further, which could have larger implications down the road.
GTA 6 Trailers Feature Only PlayStation Store Links
If you check out the descriptions of GTA 6’s first trailer, released on December 5, 2023, and the second trailer, which was released on May 6, 2025, you’ll notice something similar. We’ve screengrabbed it to make it easier for you to spot:
This is all made possible by the marketing exclusivity rights Sony has with Take-Two Interactive, which is the parent company of Rockstar Games. Don’t be surprised if this marketing deal includes in-game items for PS5 games, since we’ve seen it happen in other games before.
Does this mean the general public will think GTA 6 is only available on PS5? Probably not, but you have to admit, this does make it easier for people to click the link and just buy the game immediately. Given how huge of a gap the PS5 has with the Xbox Series X|S in terms of units sold, I assume most people would buy it on Sony’s console even without this marketing exclusivity deal.
Sony is also pushing hard, as it mentions that Grand Theft Auto 6 “plays best on PS5.”
Chances are the third trailer — whenever that drops — will also feature PSN Store links for the PS5 version, and this should further drive the point that PS5 is the home of GTA 6.
In other GTA 6 news, Microsoft has rejected reports that the PS5 version of the game is outselling the Xbox version in pre-orders by 8 to 1.
Not only that, but it’s been said today that there won’t be a physical disc version of GTA 6 even after launch, which should be a bummer for those who prefer a traditional game disc in their collection.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is set for release on November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
