GTA 6 Blamed for PlayStation Pro 5 Shortages - CNET
Grand Theft Auto 6 is the most-anticipated game of 2026, and it’s already being blamed for gaming console shortages, especially the PlayStation 5 Pro. The high-end Sony console is currently out of stock on Sony.com and is selling on auction sites for $1,100 and over.
Part of the reason for high console demand is that GTA 6 will be exclusive to PlayStation 5/Pro and Xbox Series X/S when it comes out on Nov. 19, and no other platforms have been announced yet.
In September, Sony reportedly advised distributors that the PlayStation 5 Pro would be in short supply until 2027, citing “temporary market supply constraints and high demand.” The most severe bottleneck limiting PlayStation distribution is a global crisis in memory and storage components driven by the AI infrastructure squeeze, or RAMageddon.
