With GTA 6 only a few months away, it's time to start making sure your gaming set-up is up to snuff. Sure, you've already got a console — I hope —but there are a few other pieces of kit which will help you enjoy the game to its fullest extent.
Usually, upgrading your gaming set-up could cost quite a bit, but it's Prime Day currently, which means you can pick up the right items at a discounted price. We're seeing TVs, projectors, soundbars, controllers, headsets and speakers all reduced, and so if you've been planning a system glow-up before Grand Theft Auto comes out, there won't be a time like now.
Finding a way to represent Leonida visually will be incredibly important for enjoying GTA 6. If you're squinting to see what's going on, you won't be doing justice to this visually-impressive game... and you might find it hard to actually appreciate the gameplay itself.
TVs are usually the go-to option for gaming, but spare a thought for the best gaming projector too. They can often let you view on a much bigger area than a TV, and they have some added versatility so you can move rooms or walls.
One of the most underrated upgrades a gaming set-up can enjoy is in the audio department. There's nothing worse than relying on tinny audio coming from your TV, or having to connect your AirPods if you need to play quietly.
Soundbars and eARC speakers are great for room-filling sound, to create an immersive experience. But headsets can often offer a similar effect, by putting the drivers nearer your ears. If you don't mind wearing them for your long gaming sessions, they'll be much more space-efficient, and have built-in mics for when you enjoy the online component.
Getting a good controller is less of an 'upgrade', given that GTA 6 isn't a competitive online game, but some premium (and not-quite-premium) controllers offer a more refined experience. Haptic buttons, hall triggers and customizable face buttons can all offer a more enjoyable gaming experience than whatever came included in your console.
The official install size for GTA 6 hasn't been confirmed, but most people are expecting it to require at least 200GB, and possibly a lot more than that.
If your console is already filling up, you've got two options. Either try and free up space by deleting games, making some tricky decisions about what you're happy not playing for a while... or getting a storage expansion.
Both of the above picks will hold GTA 6 with ease. No, they're not cheap, but that's modern memory for you, and at least they're below their current MSRPs.
There are plenty more Prime Day gaming deals that we've been collecting, across every sector of the gaming hardware and software realm. And if you don't even have a console yet, you'll need to use our Xbox Series X bundle deal or PS5 bundle deal pages to find a good deal, because Prime Day isn't offering much.
