GTA 6 Could Cause A PS5 And Xbox Series X Shortage This Fall
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Demand for Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles is expected to surge ahead of the GTA 6 release in November, with supply shortages likely due to ongoing hardware component issues.
- GTA 6 will only be available on current-gen consoles, leaving owners of older systems like PS4 and Xbox One needing to upgrade, which will increase competition for limited stock.
- Console prices have already risen multiple times due to chip shortages and tariffs, with further price hikes anticipated before the holiday season.
- Consumers waiting until November to purchase a console risk facing higher prices and scarce availability, making it advisable to buy now, including considering refurbished units.
