Rockstar doesn't do small. Vice City in GTA 6 is being built at a scale and fidelity no open world has hit before — real-time weather systems, a living city that reacts to you, and visuals sharp enough to blur the line between cutscene and gameplay. Running that world at its best takes more than "any console will do." Below is the exact gear stack — console, storage, display, controller, and comfort — that turns a good playthrough into the definitive one.
01 · The Engine
The console you pick decides your frame rate, your load times, and how fast you get back into the action after every wanted-level chase.
