GTA 6 Review Copies May Be Near, Xbox Fans Should Wait

Review copies for Grand Theft Auto VI might be getting close, and if you're planning to play on Xbox, somebody wants you nervous about it before anyone's even said why.

That's the claim from MrBossFTW, who says review copies for the game could start circulating soon and that there's bad news attached specifically for players planning to game on Xbox. The video doesn't spell out what that bad news actually is, just that it's coming. Rockstar hasn't said a word about review copies, timing, or anything platform specific, and Take-Two hasn't either.

What 'Review Copies Soon' Actually Means

Here's the translation, because the phrase gets thrown around like it means something concrete: review copies going out means critics get the disc before you do, write their pieces under embargo, and then everyone else finds out at once on a date Rockstar picks. It says nothing about which console runs better, what's missing on launch day, or whether your pre-order actually ships on time. It's a production milestone, not a verdict.

The Xbox angle is the part doing all the work here, and it's also the part with zero specifics behind it. No feature list, no performance detail, no timing gap mentioned. Just a tease that something is off if you're on that platform.

Treat This As a Claim, Not a Fact

No outlet beyond this one video has backed up either half of the claim, the review copies timeline or the Xbox specific bad news. That makes it a single creator's unconfirmed report, not something Rockstar or Take-Two have put their name on.

This isn't the first time a platform-specific worry has circled the game. Our own coverage already dug into GTA 6 PS5 jailbreak fears stirred up by comments from journalist Jason Schreier, and that one came with an actual source to chase. This Xbox claim comes with a title card and a promise to explain later.

Until Rockstar says something, or an actual review copy leaks real detail, this is a guess wearing a headline. Come back when there's a specific complaint attached to a specific console.
