GTA 6 physical edition: the PS5 poster is bigger than Xbox's

The first GTA 6 boxes are in players' hands, and the big console argument is about a poster: the PS5 one is noticeably larger than the Xbox one.

The first people to get the GTA 6 physical edition have found something to argue about, and it isn't frame rates. The poster in the PlayStation 5 box is noticeably bigger than the one in the Xbox Series X|S box.

The boxes arrived early, and they look odd by past standards. Rockstar Games has dropped discs entirely. Inside is a voucher with a code to download the game. That turns out to be sensible, since GTA 6 needs more than 200 GB of space, and early delivery gave fans time to clear their drives and get consoles ready.

Is the GTA 6 PS5 poster really bigger?

According to players who opened their copies, yes. PS5 owners get no exclusive story missions and no unique in-game loot. What Sony's side got is a larger piece of paper.

For long-time fans that matters a little more than it sounds. Since the older games, many have pinned the Vice City map to a wall, and size counts when the map is on display.

What fans are saying

The community has mostly turned it into a joke. Some call it the long-awaited PlayStation advantage, a result of the close partnership between Sony and Rockstar. Xbox owners, as the joke goes, are a few centimetres short this time.

It is a cosmetic difference, and the game itself is not affected. But with a 200 GB download waiting on both platforms, a poster is something to compare while the progress bar crawls along.
