PS5 Hacker Urges Players Not to Wait for a Pirated Version of GTA VI
PlayStation 5 firmware hacker StretchEcho has cast doubt on whether players will be able to obtain a pirated copy of Grand Theft Auto VI soon after its release, urging them to buy the game instead.
Rockstar Games has not announced a PC version of GTA VI. Some players had hoped for a jailbreak or that tech enthusiasts would find a way to run the game on PC, either through emulation or natively, soon after its console launch.
Addressing players who had asked whether they should update their PS5 firmware for the game, StretchEcho warned that obtaining a game dump could prove difficult:
[…] I’ve seen a lot of people asking, “Should I update my firmware for GTA VI or stay on my current version?” So let me clear things up a little. Things aren’t looking good for game dumps on firmware version 14.xx, so if you’re waiting for a GTA VI dump, good luck. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
StretchEcho said he plans to update his firmware, which is required to run the game, and buy a legitimate copy:
As for me, this is a new GTA, after all. We’ve waited so long for this game, so just buy it and enjoy playing it. I’ll update for it!
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
