Maybe — but only if you specifically want the premium PlayStation option and are okay paying extra for a likely but not guaranteed improvement.

A PS5 Pro is the safer buy if your goal is to maximize the chance of getting the best PlayStation version available at launch. It should generally be stronger than a base PS5 for graphics and performance in demanding games, but Rockstar hasn’t confirmed exact GTA 6 performance targets yet, so nobody can promise a specific frame rate or say it’s the definitive choice for GTA 6.

If you already own a base PS5 and you’re happy with it, you probably do not need to rush into an expensive upgrade just for GTA 6. If you don’t have a PS5 yet and you plan to play GTA 6 on PlayStation, buying sooner rather than later could make sense, but availability and pricing can change and aren’t guaranteed to be affected in any specific way by the game’s release.

Bottom line: buy a PS5 Pro now if you want the best PlayStation setup and can afford it; wait if you’re satisfied with a base PS5 or want to see the actual GTA 6 performance first.
