Gamers are racing to secure the most advanced hardware ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is marketed as “PS5 Pro Enhanced.” Sony’s production has been hampered by a global silicon shortage driven by the AI boom, creating a shortage of the PS5 Pro that is expected to persist into 2027. GameStop is offering the console at a price $500 above its manufacturer’s suggested retail price, betting that demand from eager GTA 6 players will sustain the markup. The retailer’s pricing strategy reflects the scarcity and heightened interest surrounding the upcoming title.
