TechRadar Urges PS5 Pro, Series X Upgrades Ahead of GTA 6 Pre-Orders This Week

3 articles · Updated · TechRadar · Jun 22

Summary

  • Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders begin this week, and TechRadar says players still on PS4, Xbox One or Series S should consider upgrading before the game’s November launch.
  • Rob’s top console picks are Sony’s PS5 Pro and Microsoft’s 2TB Series X, arguing extra horsepower, 120Hz support and larger storage will better handle GTA 6’s expected technical demands.
  • Display upgrades are the next priority, with the LG C5 recommended as the standout TV and Alienware’s 4K QD-OLED monitor as the preferred screen for both PS5 and Xbox players.
  • Controllers, headsets and storage round out the advice: DualSense Edge, Asus ROG Raikiri II, Audeze Maxwell 2 and PS5 or Xbox expansion drives are pitched as ways to improve control, audio and capacity.
  • The recommendations are framed around scattered US and UK discounts, with TechRadar highlighting current deals such as £45 off the PS5 Pro in the UK and urging shoppers to watch Prime Day pricing.
