Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will target 30 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The studio shared the information on Tuesday, November 10, the day preload began and a short trailer was published.
What Rockstar said
In a statement on its website, the studio said the game was designed from the ground up for the current generation of consoles. The goal is 30 frames per second while “squeezing” the maximum possible out of both platforms. Rockstar explains that the aim is to preserve the density and visual quality of the world of Leonida and its inhabitants.
The statement speaks of “targeting” 30 FPS. It does not announce a 60 frames per second mode.
What PS5 Pro will get
According to Rockstar, on the PlayStation 5 Pro the image will be sharper thanks to PSSR technology, and shadows will use ray tracing, available only on that model. The PS5 version is also set to support DualSense haptics throughout the game, with adjustment options in the accessibility settings, Tempest 3D AudioTech spatial sound, and shorter loading times. The statement does not specify whether the reduced loading times apply only to the PS5 Pro or also to the standard console.
Xbox, cloud and Remote Play
GTA 6 will be available on Xbox Cloud Gaming. The studio cautions that when streaming, the game’s performance may be affected by connection speed and other technical factors, which does not happen with local play. The game will also fully support Remote Play on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
Preload and new trailer
The technical details reached the web together with the launch of preload. On its official account on X, Rockstar announced on Tuesday at about 3 p.m. Polish time that downloads are available to everyone who pre-ordered the game.
A few minutes later, the studio pointed to the track “Blood In Your Eyes” performed by Tove Lo, which appears in the video marking preload and on the album GTAVI: The Album.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is scheduled for November 19. We covered earlier trailers in our article about the second GTA 6 trailer.
