IGN: GTA 6 and Witcher 4 Prove the Console Wars Are Over, Base PS5 Won.

Turns out major trailers like GTA 6 and The Witcher 4 are being captured on the standard PS5, not the PS5 Pro or top-end PC rigs. Developers—from Rockstar to CD Projekt Red—are deliberately targeting the “OG” console so they can hit a spec that the vast majority of players actually own.

By aiming just below the hardware ceiling, studios keep expectations realistic, reassure gamers that their kit won’t feel ancient in a couple of years, and sidestep the financial pinch of inflation—making the slow march toward PS6 feel a lot less urgent.
