GTA 6 is not confirmed to run at 60 FPS. Reports from preview sessions in August 2026 say Grand Theft Auto VI runs at 30 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, without a performance mode to switch to. Asked about 60 FPS, Rockstar Games reportedly had nothing to share for now, neither for launch nor for a later patch.
GTA 6 frame rate per console

What does PS5 Pro Enhanced mean for GTA 6?
GTA 6 carries the PS5 Pro Enhanced label, which means Rockstar uses the extra power of the Pro in some way, for example for sharper image quality, better ray tracing or a steadier frame rate. Neither Sony nor Rockstar has said which. Claims of 60 FPS on PS5 Pro come from leaks and are unconfirmed.
Confirmed PS5 features
- DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers
- Sound effects through the DualSense speaker
- Tempest 3D AudioTech
- Fast loading from the PS5 SSD
Why 30 FPS?
Rockstar has not explained it. Open worlds with dense crowds, traffic, physics and the new weather system are heavy on the CPU. Rockstar games have traditionally targeted 30 FPS on console, as Red Dead Redemption 2 did. That is context, not an official reason.
FAQ
Will GTA 6 get a 60 FPS patch?
Rockstar has not promised one. GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 never got 60 FPS patches on the console generation they launched on, though GTA 5 later did on newer hardware.
Should I buy a PS5 Pro for GTA 6?
Wait for the first technical reviews around launch. Until Rockstar details the Pro improvements, it is not worth buying for 60 FPS alone.
