GTA 6 PS5 Demand Is So Massive Retailers Fear Console Shortages This Holiday
Grand Theft Auto 6 is shaping up to be one of the most commercially explosive game launches in history — and retailers are already sounding the alarm. Major video game retailers have publicly warned that demand for PS5 consoles tied to GTA 6's holiday 2026 release window will "likely outstrip supply," raising fears of widespread stock shortages not unlike the PS5's own chaotic launch years ago. With consoles already at their most expensive price point ever, the convergence of hardware scarcity and a once-in-a-generation software release could make this one of the most difficult holiday shopping seasons in recent memory.
