PlayStation offered to rent a PS5 with GTA VI, but it is not a very good deal.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching. This month, the game will be released only on consoles, but far from all players own one, and not everyone can afford to purchase a new device for the sake of a single game.

Sony has a solution. The Gamer took note of the PlayStation Flex bundle line featuring GTA VI — players can rent a PlayStation 5 along with the game:

• PlayStation 5 (1 TB) with two DualSense controllers — 19.49 pounds sterling per month (around 2,100 rubles)
• PlayStation 5 (825 GB) Digital Edition with two DualSense controllers — 18.49 pounds sterling per month
• PlayStation 5 (1 TB) with one DualSense controller — 18.49 pounds sterling per month

However, as The Gamer explains, there is a catch. Players will not be able to rent the console for the minimum amount for just one month to quickly complete the GTA VI story and return the device. Unlike standard contracts, renting the “PS5 + GTA VI” bundle entails a fixed rental period — for 12, 24, or 36 months.

As a result, for the bundle with the PlayStation 5 (825 GB) Digital Edition, you will have to pay 665.64 pounds sterling over 36 months: this is more expensive than purchasing the console and the game.

If you rent a PS5 with GTA VI for 12 months, the monthly payment increases to 29.95 pounds sterling, totaling 359 pounds sterling per year. This will save around 229.99 pounds sterling. However, once the contract ends, the console and the game will have to be returned.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
