GTA 6 PS5 reviews PlayStation Store, Digi Mart USA News: Ratings for Grand Theft Auto VI on the PS5 have reportedly begun appearing on the PlayStation Store, even though the review embargo is reported to run until November 18, the day before the game’s release date.
PS Store DB, a site that monitors the marketplace’s backend, reportedly found 11 entries giving the game a 5/5 score. Dataminer Cokymoky later reported 12 ratings averaging 4.67 out of 5.0, with 92 percent of users giving five stars and one user initially giving a single star before changing it to 5/5.
According to the reports, no written review text has been found on the PlayStation Store, although Sony began testing written reviews in August 2024. PlayStation accounts can submit ratings for a digital purchase without waiting for official launches, and there is no minimum playtime requirement.
One possible explanation offered in the reporting is that the ratings come from sites or YouTube channels that Rockstar sent codes to. Preloads have begun for buyers, and actually booting the game may have unlocked their ability to register scores.
The reports note that this small sample may not reflect the post-launch consensus.
The reporting also notes that Microsoft’s Xbox Store saw ratings for the game months before release, with the title reportedly holding a perfect 5/5 after nearly 10,000 submissions. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a May interview that critical reception remains important, and he noted that past Rockstar titles scored in the mid-to-high 90s.
