The PlayStation Game Size account posted an image claiming that the minimum system software requirement for the PS5 version of GTA VI may have been adjusted to 14.22.00.00. However, neither Rockstar Games nor Sony has officially announced such requirements, so this version threshold remains unconfirmed third-party information.
This account previously stated on October 3 that the minimum version was 14.10. If the latest claim is true, players may need to install newer system software on their PS5 to run the game, but specific requirements could still change before release.
Sony released system software update version 26.07-14.22.00 on November 2. The official patch notes only mentioned fixing several system software security issues, without disclosing specific vulnerabilities. This has been linked to recent developments in older PS5 firmware exploits, unauthorized code execution, and jailbreak research, leaving users who retain older firmware facing the decision of whether to upgrade.
There is currently no evidence suggesting that the potential 14.22 threshold was specifically set to prevent jailbreaking; it could simply be due to the game's own technical or security requirements. What can be confirmed at this stage is that the 14.22 system update has been released. Whether GTA VI strictly requires this version to run still awaits official confirmation.
