GTA 6 60fps 'Confirmed' For Just One Console and Gamers Are Torn

GTA VI is on track to be another technological marvel from Rockstar Games, though I’m still sceptical of it being better than Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 worked well because of how open the world truly was, so it’ll be interesting to see how Rockstar’s new-gen release fairs being a more densely packed environment.

If you’re worried the framerate and visuals will take a hit though you can probably calm down, as apparently the game will run at a smooth 60fps on certain hardware…

It’s said the PlayStation 5 Pro will be the optimal way to play GTA VI at launch, so if you haven’t got one yet perhaps that’s all you need to consider upgrading.

This comes from Detective Seeds on X, who says: “GTA 6 has been, and continues to hit 60fps while being optimized for the PS5 Pro on multiple graphical settings. PS engineers are assisting with the optimization due to the new tech being implemented and rolled out with a current target date of May 2026.

The post continued: “They are also assisting on several other Rockstar titles that are rolling out in the near future (pre ps5 pro 2026 update). As of right now, 60FPS is being achieved on the PS5 Pro only (this could obviously change before release). It is anticipated that GTA 6 will have multiple graphical options on the PS5 Pro on release.

Detective Seeds added that PlayStation 5 Pro bundles containing GTA VI will also be pushed as it’ll be the best console to play it on. “This info is from a Playstation engineer who has provided highly accurate and verified info several times in the past” they then said.

So if you want to experience the game at its best the PlayStation 5 Pro is the way to go. That said, you're not bothered about graphics the base PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S will both be fine options as well, and I’d wager the majority of gamers wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference.

The true test will come when the game launches on PC, as while a PC port hasn’t been mentioned yet it’ll inevitably drop some time after the game’s launch.

You just know PC players are going to attempt to break the game as soon as possible, with graphical settings cranked up to their maximum capabilities.
