GTA 6 Xbox physical case leak, Digi Mart USA News: Ahead of the scheduled November 19 release of Rockstar’s GTA 6, images of the physical retail box for the PS5 version have circulated on social media, and according to a report from Notebookcheck, the back of the Xbox version’s case has now also surfaced online.
The leaked Xbox case reportedly lists compatibility with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on Microsoft’s Series X and S consoles. Dolby Vision uses dynamic metadata that can be optimised for individual scenes, which the report says can produce more accurate colours and brightness in games and movies than standard HDR.
According to the same report, the PS5 does not support Dolby Vision, with PlayStation owners instead relying on HDR10. Sony and LG promote Dolby Vision as a feature on their OLED TVs, which the report notes makes the gap relevant to home theatre users.
The Xbox case also indicates Dolby Atmos spatial audio support. The report explains that Sony added Dolby Atmos to the PS5 in a September 2023 update, but notes that PlayStation games are calibrated first for Sony’s Tempest 3D audio, with Atmos being a translation of that output.
The report also says the leak is unlikely to change reported large differences in pre-order sales between platforms. It adds that analysts expect performance on the Series X and base PS5 to be comparable, while preload leaks suggest the PS5 Pro may offer a higher frame rate or refresh rate.
These points are drawn from the publisher’s reporting and have not been independently verified.
