Why last-gen consoles are out
Rockstar hasn't given a technical reason. What PlayStation does say is that GTA 6 uses the PS5's fast SSD for "near-instant load times", plus DualSense haptics, adaptive triggers and Tempest 3D Audio. [1] The game is also very large. Rockstar says the pre-load needs up to 212 GB depending on device. Confirmed [1]
PS5 vs Xbox Series X|S: what each store lists
The two store pages describe the game in different terms, so here they are side by side. A blank isn't a "no": it means that store's page doesn't mention it.

|---|---|---|
| Players | 1 player | Single player |
| Offline play | Offline play enabled | Not stated |
| Console badge | PS5 Pro Enhanced | Optimized for Xbox Series X|S |

Built-in storage on each current console
These are the drive sizes Sony and Microsoft sell. Sony notes that part of the SSD is reserved for system software, so usable space is lower. [1]
| Console | Built-in SSD | Source |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 (disc, slim) | 1TB | [1] |
| PS5 Digital Edition | 825GB | [1] |
| PS5 Pro | 2TB | [1] |
| Xbox Series X | 1TB or 2TB | [1] |
| Xbox Series S | 512GB or 1TB | [1] [2] |
Upgrading from a PS4 or Xbox One?
Any PS5 model or Xbox Series X|S will run it. The 512GB Series S has the smallest drive, so check free space first with the storage checker, and read the file size guide. Digital copies bought before launch also get the Vintage Vice City Pack. A PS4 copy of GTA 5 won't unlock anything in GTA 6, and there's no last-gen upgrade path because there's no last-gen version.
Boxed copies don't help an older console either. Rockstar says the physical version holds only a download code, with no disc, and needs an internet connection and a platform account to download. Confirmed [1] If you bought the wrong platform, see how to cancel a GTA 6 pre-order.
