Sony is ramping up pressure on remaining PlayStation 4 users to move to the PlayStation 5 ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI and the messaging is getting very direct.
According to multiple reports, Sony has started sending dashboard notifications and emails to PS4 owners who either:
– Have wishlisted GTA 6
– Spend a lot of time playing Grand Theft Auto V
The messages reportedly tell players to “Get a PlayStation 5 today” so they’ll be ready when GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026. Some notifications even include QR codes linking directly to PS5 purchase pages.
This matters because GTA 6 is skipping last-generation hardware entirely. Rockstar and Take-Two are focusing on current-gen consoles only, meaning the PS4 and Xbox One won’t run the game.
Sony’s strategy is pretty clear:
– GTA 6 is expected to become one of the biggest console sellers ever.
– Millions of people still actively use the PS4.
– Sony wants those users upgrading into the PS5 ecosystem before launch day.
Industry analysts think GTA 6 could become a “system seller” on the scale of what Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was for the Nintendo Switch, potentially driving massive PS5 hardware sales.
The timing also reflects where PlayStation is in its lifecycle. Sony appears committed to extending the PS5 era rather than rushing into a PlayStation 6 launch, which makes converting the remaining PS4 audience even more important.
For PS4 owners, the message is simple: if GTA 6 is your next big game, Sony wants you upgrading now rather than waiting until launch week.
