GTA 6 at 30 fps: what changes on PS5 Pro and Xbox

Confirmed GTA 6 runs at 30 frames per second on every console, PS5 Pro included. Rockstar says it targets 30 fps "pushing both platforms to their limits". On PS5 Pro the image is sharper thanks to PSSR, and there are ray-traced shadows that only that console gets.

30 fps on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S

On 10 November 2026, as pre-loading opened, Rockstar spelled out its technical target: 30 frames per second on every console. No 60 fps performance mode has been announced, on PS5 Pro or on Xbox Series X.

Unconfirmed Before this announcement some articles talked about 60 fps on PS5 Pro. Rockstar's statement rules that out: at launch the target is 30 fps everywhere.

What PS5 Pro adds

According to Rockstar and the PlayStation Blog, on PS5 Pro GTA 6 offers:

• PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution): upscaling for a sharper image;
• ray-traced shadows, available only on PS5 Pro.

The frame rate does not change: the difference is image quality, not smoothness.

What every PS5 gets

The PlayStation Blog lists the features of the PS5 version, base model included:

• DualSense: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and the controller speaker. Vibration and trigger effects can be adjusted in the accessibility settings;
• Tempest 3D audio;
• faster loading thanks to the SSD.

Xbox Series X or Series S?

Microsoft has not published official technical differences. On Xbox Wire it describes Series X as "the best experience on Xbox consoles" and Series S as "the most affordable way to play". Cloud play on Xbox One uses the Series S graphics settings: see GTA 6 on PS4 and Xbox One.

What about resolution?

Rockstar has not announced official resolutions for any console.

Unconfirmed Estimates such as "around 1440p on PS5" or "720p on Series S" are circulating. The first comes from a pre-release trailer analysis, the second is a rumour. We will update this when tests of the final game are out.

Which console for GTA 6

• PS5 Pro: the best image quality, at the same frame rate.
• PS5 Slim: the same smoothness and a less detailed image than the Pro, for less money.
• Xbox Series X: the most powerful Xbox.
• Xbox Series S: the cheapest option. If you choose it, go for the 1 TB model: the GTA 6 download is up to 212 GB.
