PS5 runs out faster on GTA VI rush amid demand to upgrade consoles
New Delhi: The opening of Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders has triggered a fresh scramble for PlayStation 5 consoles, with retailers running out of stock within days as surging demand collides with supply disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict.
GTA VI, scheduled for release on November 19, will launch only on current-generation consoles such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, prompting many gamers who have delayed upgrading from PCs or older PlayStation models such as PS4 to finally buy a PS5.
“Whatever stock of PlayStation consoles comes, they are sold out within 3-4 days,” said Nilesh Gupta, director at electronics retail chain Vijay Sales.
