PS5 Now Features Custom GTA 6 UI, as Sony's Goes All In on Rockstar Partnership

Load up your PlayStation 5 today, and you'll be greeted by a new custom user interface advertising Grand Theft Auto 6 — part of Sony's major new partnership with Rockstar Games. The PS5's Welcome section now includes a flashy animated version of the GTA 6 logo, which zooms in and reveals a splash screen with details on the game, as well as a button to go view its store page (and pre-order). Of course, Sony has rolled out this update following GTA 6 pre-orders officially going live at midnight last night, as well as the start of its own marketing campaign for the game, which it has boasted "plays best on PS5." Yesterday, Sony published a blog post championing the features of its console that GTA 6 will use, including the speaker in the DualSense controller and the pad's haptic feedback. Rather amusingly, Sony later deleted and reposted a series of posts on social media linking to this blog post that featured an image of the PS5's disc-based edition. The social posts were later replaced with versions that featured the PS5's digital-only console — more fitting with the fact that GTA 6 will not have a disc. Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, with pre-orders starting June 25. Lea
