Sony has reportedly requested fans and avid gamers to upgrade their PlayStation ahead of the GTA 6 release. As new next-gen consoles are released, the old ones will no longer be as effective for gaming. Fans will preserve their old consoles only for nostalgia’s sake. Hence, Sony is urging fans to upgrade to PS5 ahead of GTA 6, expected to release towards the end of the year.
