GTA 6 gear: consoles, storage, controllers and headsets (UK)
You need a PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S to play Grand Theft Auto VI natively on 19 November 2026. An Xbox One can only stream it (from 06:00 UK on launch day, if available). A PS4 cannot play it. PlayStation wants at least 212 GB free for the pre-load.
1. PlayStation 5 Slim — Disc Edition (1 TB)
Native GTA 6, DualSense features, and a built-in disc drive for older games.
£569.99 at Argos (10 Nov 2026)

Confirm the seller is Amazon or Sony before buying. I did not get a clean Amazon-sold Slim Disc price this check.
2. PlayStation 5 Slim — Digital Edition (825 GB)
Usually cheaper than the disc model, with no Blu-ray drive. Fine if you already buy from the PlayStation Store (Ultimate is digital-only anyway).
£519.99 at Argos (10 Nov 2026)
Source: Argos product 7726851.
The Amazon product page (ASIN B0CM9VKQ5N) did not show a clear Amazon-sold price in the version checked; compare with Argos at £519.99. The 825 GB drive leaves less room than the 1 TB Disc model once you install a 212 GB game.
3. PlayStation 5 Pro (2 TB, digital)
Official PS5 Pro Enhanced treatment. 2 TB built in is comfortable for a 212 GB game. No disc drive in the box.
£789.99 at Argos (10 Nov 2026)
Source: Argos product 7797426.
Third-party Amazon listings have been reported far above £789. Do not pay a scalper price if Argos has stock at £789.99.
4. Xbox Series X — 1 TB (disc)
The strongest native Xbox option, with a disc drive.
£669.99 on the UK Microsoft Store (10 Nov 2026)
Digital Edition white: £619.99. Certified refurbished Series X was listed at £549.99 on the same page — check stock and terms. Source: Microsoft Store UK consoles.
5. Xbox Series S — 512 GB
Cheapest way to play GTA 6 natively on Xbox. Digital only. 512 GB is tight once the OS is installed and you need ~212 GB free. The 1 TB Series S (Microsoft list price £519.99 in recent UK listings) is more comfortable if the budget stretches.
£425.50 on Amazon UK (sold by Amazon); £429.99 on the Microsoft Store (10 Nov 2026)
6. DualSense wireless controller (white)
GTA 6 uses haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and the built-in speaker on PS5. A spare pad is optional if your console already includes one.
£58.99 on Amazon UK (sold by Amazon); £59.99 at Argos (10 Nov 2026)

7. PlayStation Pulse Elite wireless headset
Official PS5 headset with PlayStation Link. It is not required to play the game. Amazon customer reviews are mixed, so read recent ones before you buy.
Amazon third-party listings from £149.00 to £254.49 (10 Nov 2026) — not “sold by Amazon” on the page checked
Amazon UK — Pulse Elite (paid link)
Check the official PlayStation Store, Argos or Currys before paying a marketplace premium. If Amazon is much more expensive, use the official price as your comparison.
8. WD_BLACK SN850P 1 TB — officially licensed PS5 SSD
If you cannot free 212 GB on the internal drive, a licensed internal NVMe SSD with a heatsink is the proper PS5 upgrade. External USB drives are not for running PS5 games.
No stable Amazon price in the 10 Nov 2026 check (“price higher than typical”)
Amazon UK — SN850P 1 TB (paid link)
Recheck this page, Currys, Scan and official listings on the day you buy. An Xbox Storage Expansion Card is the equivalent for Series X|S and is not interchangeable with the PS5 M.2 drive.
Official game purchases: start with the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store. Those are not Amazon Associates links.
