Rockstar Games has finally provided an answer about GTA 6's framerate.
Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will target 30 FPS across all consoles, including the more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro.
In a statement shared ahead of the game's launch on November 19, Rockstar explained that GTA 6 was developed specifically to push consoles to their limits while maintaining the visual quality and density of its massive open world.
"Grand Theft Auto VI has been fully developed from the ground up to provide the best possible experience for the current generation of consoles, targeting 30 frames per second," the developer stated.
This means that owners of the PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S should expect the same 30 FPS target.
PS5 Pro Owners Get Some Visual Improvements
PS5 Pro players will understandably be disappointed that Rockstar won't offer a higher frame rate to their consoles. However, there are still several graphical improvements over the standard PS5 version.
According to Rockstar, the upgraded console will benefit from PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), which should provide improved image clarity, alongside ray-traced shadows. The latter will be exclusive to the PS5 Pro, offering more realistic lighting and shadows throughout Leonida.
Rockstar also highlighted the PS5's DualSense features, including high-fidelity haptic feedback and Tempest 3D Audio, that have been "fully integrated" into GTA 6. Both the standard PS5 and PS5 Pro versions will support these features, alongside improved loading times.
Xbox Players Get Something Too
Interestingly, XBOX Series X|S and XBOX One players will be able to access GTA 6 through Xbox Cloud Gaming, although the game will use Xbox Series S graphics settings when streamed.
Rockstar has reminded players that, with cloud streaming, connection speeds and other technical factors may influence the game's performance in ways that would not impact local gameplay.
Importantly, Remote Play for GTA 6 will be supported across all PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
