Highlight of the story: According to recent reports, Sony is reportedly working closely to boost the performance on PS5 Pro. However, the first trailers of the game showed that it is working at 30 FPS on the PS5. What does it mean for Xbox X and Series S? Read here for more details.
Grand Theft Auto VI, a.k.a. GTA 6, may finally offer 60 frames per second (fps) gameplay, but only if you are planning to play it on your PlayStation 5 Pro, new leaks suggest. According to recent reports, Sony is reportedly working closely to boost the performance of the upcoming advanced console. However, the first trailers of the game showed that it is working at 30 FPS on the PS5.
A popular X (formerly called Twitter) user under the name Detective Seeds, popular for his leaks, claims that a PlayStation engineer has confirmed a behind-the-scenes collaboration between Sony and Rockstar Games.
According to GizBot, the main goal of Rockstar Games is to get GTA 6 running at 60 FPS on PS5 Pro, no matter which graphical setting the players choose to play with.
Not only this, but unlike many titles that offer a choice between 'performance' and 'quality' modes, GTA 6 on PS5 Pro is believed to feature multiple graphical presets, but all these will target the 60 FPS mode, the leak further suggested.
According to Times Now, previously the GTA franchise had been launched on PS5 with a capped frame rate of 30 FPS. Later it was speculated that the upcoming GTA title will also be released at the same frame rate for the older consoles.
Now, it's not like PS5 cannot support 60 FPS games, and there are other popular titles like Astro Bot, Persona 5 Royal, Diablo 4, and more. Hence, it doesn't mean that there is no possibility of GTA 6 running on PS5 at 60 FPS.
One of the biggest challenges that players may face on PS5 will be the heating issues, like what has happened in the past with Death Stranding 2 and more. The report further claims that heavy games like GTA 6 have a very low chance of getting a 60 FPS frame rate on PS5.
For the latest Xbox consoles, the case is almost identical.
