"GTA 6 better be 4K and 120fps": PS5 Pro's price reveal makes Grand Theft Auto fans react
GTA 6 fans have been waiting for the release of the PS5 Pro, expecting it to run the upcoming blockbuster better than the standard PlayStation 5. Sony announced the new mid-gen PS5 Pro console today, September 10, 2024, for a base price of $699.99. While the new hardware is significantly better than the standard console, the hefty price tag has garnered various reactions from Grand Theft Auto fans.
Popular gaming enthusiast @videoteckuk_ recently posted on X about the PS5 Pro’s price:
“£700… Sony‘s having a laugh. RIP my bank account…This better be worth it for GTAVI”
One user commented on their post by sarcastically stating expectations from the upcoming PlayStation console:
“GTA 6 better be 4k and 120fps. [ it won't be but just saying ].”
Another fan, @JustMeRyder, shared their reaction to the cost of the PS5 Pro, suggesting sticking with the standard PS5, as these are “insane prices”:
“Honestly seeing these insane prices, I think it's better to stick for the PS5. It's not like GTA 6 will be "bad" on the PS5 compared to the Pro. These prices aren't it.”
Here are some other fans' reactions worth mentioning. Not all appeared to be in favor of upgrading to the PS5 Pro just to play the game:
