Quick answer: To play GTA VI with less lag and better quality in Colombia, you need a next-gen console (the game will not be released on PS4), connect your device via a direct Ethernet cable to the router, and prepare a compatible M.2 SSD. The official expected release date is November 19, 2026.

GTA VI already has an official date and the anticipation in Colombia is through the roof. The practical question is not whether you are going to play it, but whether your internet connection, television, and storage are truly ready to support it. If you are thinking about upgrading your gear, the PlayStation 5 Console is the undisputed starting point for this new generation.

Here we explain exactly what you need in your setup to reduce lag, what specifications the game requires, and how to prepare the perfect space in your home before the big launch.

What is confirmed for GTA VI on PS5 as of June 26, 2026

Rockstar Games and the official PlayStation website have made things clear: Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The most important thing you need to know is that it will not be playable on PlayStation 4. If you are still on the previous generation, an upgrade is mandatory.

Additionally, the official listing labels the game as PS5 Pro Enhanced, which means it will take advantage of the capabilities of Sony's new console, although specific frame rates (FPS) or magical resolutions should not be promised until the developers release the final performance modes.

The PlayStation 5 console: what this generation offers

For those looking to make the leap, the standard PlayStation 5 remains the most balanced option in terms of price and performance. It offers almost non-existent loading times thanks to its custom SSD, support for 4K resolution, and ray tracing technology that makes lighting in open-world games look incredibly realistic.

The DualSense controller is another plus, with its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that Rockstar will surely take full advantage of to convey the feeling of driving or shooting in the game.

Pros and Cons: Who it is for and who it is NOT for

Who it is for:

The PS5 is ideal for the gamer who wants the full next-gen experience without worrying about building an expensive PC. If your main goal is to play GTA VI on day one with high-quality graphics, fast loading times, and to take advantage of Sony's ecosystem of exclusives, buying the PlayStation 5 is the right decision.

Who it is NOT for (Cons):

Honestly, skip it if you are a very casual gamer who only turns on the console a couple of times a month to play old titles that already run well on PS4. It is also not the best option if you have a very tight budget and don't plan on investing in a decent TV or monitor, as you will miss out on much of its visual potential.

Importing your PS5 via Amazon: what you need to know

The advantage of buying it directly through Amazon is that they handle the import process: the final price you pay includes shipping and estimated import fees, delivering it directly to your door in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, or any major city without extra paperwork. Confirm shipping details and charges in your cart before paying.

Home internet for playing with less lag: Ethernet and router

It is useless to have the most powerful console if your connection ruins your online game. According to Claro, fiber optic home internet plans are already offered in Colombia ranging from 500 Mbps to 900 Mbps, but speed is not the only factor.

Wi-Fi can vary drastically depending on the distance to the router, the walls of your apartment, and the number of devices connected simultaneously. For a truly stable setup , always prioritize connecting your PS5 via a Ethernet cable directly to the modem. If a cable is not an option, place the console as close as possible to the main router or invest in a high-quality Mesh system.

TV, monitor, and storage: compatible M.2 SSD

The PS5 allows you to improve the visual experience with VRR (variable refresh rate) and ALLM (auto low latency mode) if your TV or monitor has HDMI 2.1 ports. Although 120 Hz is fantastic for competitive games, don't buy a new screen just assuming GTA VI will run at that speed; wait for official performance confirmations.

On the other hand, storage will be a critical issue. Open-world games take up a lot of space. To expand the internal memory, Sony recommends using an M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4x4 SSD with a capacity of 250 GB to 8 TB, a sequential read speed of 5,500 MB/s or faster, and it must have a heatsink. Check these specifications carefully before buying any drive.

What to sell or reuse before buying more things

Before spending on new accessories, check what you have at home. Many people keep controllers, headsets, or physical games they no longer use. For example, if you have good headphones, you could reuse them, as we explain in our guide on gaming headsets for playing GTA.

According to active listings on Colombia Move (June 2026), there is an evident supply gap in the electronics section, specifically in the tech accessories category. Buyer demand exceeds the current inventory of used controllers, headsets, and monitors, so it is an ideal time to make some extra money by posting what you no longer need.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Will GTA VI be released for PS4?

No, the official PlayStation listing lists the game exclusively for PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles, leaving out the PlayStation 4 (as of June 26, 2026).

❓ Do I need a PS5 Pro to play GTA VI?

It is not mandatory. Although the game is categorized as PS5 Pro Enhanced and will take advantage of that hardware, the standard console will run it perfectly. Don't get carried away by performance rumors until there is official data.

❓ What internet do I need to play with less lag in Colombia?

More than extreme speed, you need stability. Prioritize a fiber optic connection with good coverage in your neighborhood and, above all, connect the console via Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi.

❓ Is playing over Wi-Fi okay or is an Ethernet cable better?

An Ethernet cable will always be superior because it avoids interference, packet loss, and micro-stutters that Wi-Fi suffers from due to walls and other devices connected at home.

❓ Which SSD works for a PS5?

You must use an M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4x4 SSD with a heatsink. Sony recommends read speeds of 5,500 MB/s or higher to ensure optimal loading times.

❓ Is it worth buying a 120 Hz TV for PS5?

Yes, if you are going to play competitive titles that support that refresh rate. However, don't buy it thinking exclusively about GTA VI until Rockstar confirms the game's graphics modes.

❓ Where can I sell my used console or accessories in Colombia?

You can list them on classifieds platforms or in the electronics section of Colombia Move, where there is currently high demand for second-hand tech accessories.
