Digital Foundry\u00a0<\/a>suggests that the game\u2019s large open world, advanced simulation systems, ray-tracing effects and detailed environments could place heavy demands on the console\u2019s processor.<\/p>\nAs a result, GTA 6 is considered more likely to run at 30fps or possibly 40fps on PS5 Pro rather than maintain 60fps.<\/p>\n
Heavy CPU Demands<\/h2>\n
The main limitation is expected to be the game\u2019s CPU requirements.<\/p>\n
GTA 6 takes place in Leonida, Rockstar\u2019s version of Florida, with Vice City serving as its main urban area.<\/p>\n
The second trailer and recent screenshots show dense environments, large crowds, detailed vehicles, and extensive world simulation.<\/p>\n
Games with demanding simulation systems often struggle to maintain high frame rates in busy locations. Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 have shown how dense areas can put pressure on console processors.<\/p>\n
GTA 6 could be more demanding because players will be able to travel quickly by land, sea and air. Vehicles will also require complex physics calculations, adding further strain to the hardware.<\/p>\n
These factors could make a stable 60fps target difficult on current consoles.<\/p>\n
PS5 Pro May Still Be Limited<\/h2>\n
The PS5 Pro has more graphics power than the standard PS5 and includes improved ray-tracing hardware and PSSR upscaling.<\/p>\n
However, its CPU only provides a limited performance increase over the base PS5.<\/p>\n
Better graphics hardware can improve resolution, image quality and rendering performance, but it cannot fully solve CPU limitations caused by physics, world simulation and background systems.<\/p>\n
A 30fps or 40fps mode therefore appears more likely than a stable 60fps option.<\/p>\n
A 40fps Mode Could Be Possible<\/h2>\n
A 40fps mode could provide a middle ground between 30fps and 60fps.<\/p>\n
At 40fps, each frame takes 25 milliseconds to render. That sits halfway between the 33.3ms frame time of 30fps and the 16.7ms frame time of 60fps.<\/p>\n
However, 40fps does not divide evenly into the refresh rate of a standard 60Hz display.<\/p>\n
Games normally offer this option only when connected to a television or monitor with a 120Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n
Rockstar could provide a 40fps mode for users with compatible screens while retaining a 30fps option for other players.<\/p>\n
Rockstar Usually Chooses 30fps<\/h2>\n
Rockstar has traditionally prioritised graphics and simulation quality over higher frame rates on consoles.<\/p>\n
GTA 4, GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 all launched with 30fps targets on their original console releases. Some also dropped that target below during demanding scenes.<\/p>\n
Rockstar later introduced 60fps modes for upgraded versions of GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n
However, those versions arrived after the game had originally launched on older consoles.<\/p>\n
For GTA 6 to reach 60fps at launch, Rockstar would likely have needed to build its simulation systems around that target from the beginning.<\/p>\n
It would also become the first Rockstar open-world game designed to target 60fps on consoles at launch.<\/p>\n
Retailer Listings Prove Little<\/h2>\n
Some retailer listings have suggested that GTA 6 could include separate quality and performance modes.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
However, these descriptions do not confirm that the performance mode will run at 60fps.<\/p>\n
Retailers may be using standard descriptions commonly attached to modern console games rather than information confirmed by Rockstar.<\/p>\n
A performance mode could target 40fps instead. It could also reduce graphics settings to maintain a more consistent 30fps.<\/p>\n
A quality mode could use higher visual settings while occasionally falling below 30fps in demanding scenes.<\/p>\n
Performance Remains Unconfirmed<\/h2>\n
The second trailer, pre-order screenshots and other footage show a level of detail that could be difficult to maintain at 60fps on current consoles.<\/p>\n
Xbox Series X may face similar CPU limitations, while Xbox Series S could have greater difficulty because of its weaker hardware.<\/p>\n
Rockstar has not announced GTA 6\u2019s frame-rate targets or available graphics modes.<\/p>\n
Until the company provides technical details, predictions about the game\u2019s performance remain speculation.<\/p>\n
Based on Rockstar\u2019s previous console releases and the apparent demands of GTA 6, a stable 60fps mode on PS5 Pro appears unlikely.<\/p>\n
