GTA 6 30FPS Confirmed: What It Means for PS5, Xbox and PS5 Pro Players

GTA 6 will run at 30FPS on all consoles. That means PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X/S will all target the same frame rate at launch. PS5 Pro owners do get a few extras, including PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution and ray-traced shadows. With launch set for November 19, here is what we know.

GTA 6 Will Run at 30FPS on Every Console, With a Few Extras on PS5 Pro

The frame rate is 30FPS on every console, with no 60FPS option mentioned. PS5 Pro does not get a higher frame rate, but it does get two upgrades:

PSSR is Sony’s upscaling tech, which helps the game look sharper on the Pro. Ray-traced shadows should make shadows look more natural, especially in the bright Florida sun and in neon-lit Vice City nights.

Many players hoped for a 60FPS mode, and that is not part of this announcement. The reason is easy to guess. This is a huge open world with a map close to GTA 4, GTA 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2 combined, and Rockstar has said it has far more interiors than any earlier GTA. All of that is a lot for current consoles to run. Rockstar games have also run at 30FPS before, and the trailers have been built around that look. A steady 30FPS can still feel smooth, but players used to 60FPS will notice the difference at first.

The PS5 Pro has been selling out because of this game, and it costs $899, so many buyers will want to know what the extra money gets them. The answer is better image quality, not a faster frame rate. Rockstar has also been promoting GTA 6 as playing best on PS5, so extras like these fit that message. Xbox Series X/S players have no announced extras, so check back for anything Rockstar shares about Xbox.
