Ukrainian gamers are already actively preparing for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI. From September 7 to November 1, 2026, buyers sent twice as many messages to sellers of used PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on the OLX platform than during the same period last year.
This is evidenced by data from the OLX classifieds service, reports the Mezha publication.
The number of responses to ads for the sale of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S increased by 101%. At the same time, interest in the portable console Nintendo Switch, on which GTA 6 is not planned to be released, increased by only 11%. Overall, the share of ads for the sale of PS5 among all gaming devices on the platform increased from 18% to 22% over the year.
The changes also affected the previous generation of consoles. The number of new ads for the PS4 and Xbox One decreased by 20% compared to 2025. However, demand for them still remains — the number of requests to sellers increased by 39%.
The average prices for used consoles on the site were distributed as follows:
PlayStation 5 — about 25,000 ($500);
PlayStation 4 — about 8,000 ($170);
Nintendo Switch — about 7,000 ($150);
Xbox One — about 5,000 ($110).
As a reminder, the official release of Grand Theft Auto VI from Rockstar Games is scheduled for November 19, 2026 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. Digital pre-downloads of the anticipated title from Rockstar Games will begin tomorrow, November 10, and the game file size will be up to 212 GB depending on the specific console.
It was previously reported that GTA VI could be released on PC as early as the first quarter of 2027. This is a much faster release on personal computers compared to the studio’s previous projects.
