GTA 6 performance on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X & S: Why 30 FPS on all consoles?

GTA 6 will be aiming to run at 30 frames per second on all consoles like PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X & S. Rockstar Games have confirmed that GTA 6 will run at 30 FPS due to the high CPU demands of the open world simulation in Leonida. There will be no 60 FPS option at launch. The PS5 Pro will have some extra graphical features like ray traced shadows and PSSR upscaling.

GTA 6 performance: Why 30 FPS on all consoles?

Rockstar Games have confirmed that GTA 6 will aim for 30 FPS on all current generation consoles like the base PS5, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X & S. The open world simulation in Leonida is a big ask for the CPU.


This means that GTA 6 will be aiming for 30 FPS on all platforms. You may see a small amount of variance in frame rates during intense scenes. Rockstar are focusing on keeping the frame rate stable and ensuring that objects load correctly.

GTA 6 graphics on PS5 & PS5 Pro
