Don't rip yourself off when buying a console for GTA 6 — take advantage of these discounts and bundle deals
Prepare for pre-orders this week
If you're looking to pick up a Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order once they go live later this week, then you'll need a console to play it on. If you're currently sticking with a last-generation system like the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, then you'll need to upgrade in order to play.

With no word of a port yet, PC gamers will also need to get their hands on a system if they want to play day one. Luckily, the Amazon Prime Day deals and other retailer sales events make now a fantastic time to pick up a console.
In the US, for example, you can buy a PlayStation 5 Slim with some exclusive Fortnite content for lower than its regular price, while UK shoppers can net a free copy of Ghost of Yotei with a discounted limited edition bundle.

If you're after the PS5 Slim Digital Edition, then the Fortnite bundle is again the way to go, as it costs the same as just the regular console thanks to this Best Buy sale. Do bear in mind you're only getting 825GB of storage and, of course, no disk drive with this one.

If you're after an Xbox Series S, then this $20 saving at Amazon is the way to go. This is the 512GB version of the console and comes in much cheaper than a PS5. You are losing a decent chunk of performance, though.

The PS5 Pro will likely be the definitive system for GTA 6. It's the one to go for if you want the very best performance, though you will struggle to find any discounts bigger than this $0.99 Amazon saving in the US right now. Maybe one to watch over Prime Day.

Prices on the regular Series X are pretty poor right now, so I'd recommend going for the 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition version if you're after one. It boasts a massive storage upgrade and a cool design, but has lesser performance than the similarly priced PS5 Pro.

The PS5 Pro is currently available for well below its £799.99 UK RRP over at EE. With £45 off compared to that RRP, this is the best place to get your hands on the console that will undoubtedly offer the best way to play GTA 6 when it launches.

Very is currently offering the best price I can find in the UK for the Xbox Series X, with £20 off its regular rate. I think the PS5 is better value right now, but this is still a good option if you're wedded to the Xbox ecosystem.
