• Former PlayStation Boss Thinks Sony Is Solving The Wrong Problem With PS6

  09-11-2026 14:55 via GameSpot - All Content
  
  Sony confirmed last week that development on its "next-generation" PlayStation platform will pick up speed in 2027, but not everyone is convinced the world needs a PS6 right now.

The innovation needs to come not from making PS6 for $1,200, it's t

  Rockstar Games and PlayStation are hosting a festival dedicated to the music of GTA 6 on the game's launch weekend, featuring the game's composer, Justice.It's wild to say, but here we are: GTA 6 is releasing next week. 13 years of waiting, GTA Online microtransaction spending, and "we got x before GTA 6" jokes, and the game is almost out. It's safe to say that GTA 6 will be the biggest single video game launch of all time when it finally arrives – and I'd be shocked if that weren't the case.

  Decades before GTA 6, Rockstar Games was considering getting a Japanese studio to develop the now-abandoned GTA: Tokyo, according to a former technical director on the series, but he reckons that there's "so much Americana inherent in the IP" that it might not have worked, anyway. It sounds like we were so close – yet so far – from getting GTA: Tokyo. A trademark for the title was filed by Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive back in late 2003, after the release of Vice City, but was later li
