GTA 6 targets 30fps on all consoles; PS5 Pro adds RT shadows

Rockstar Games confirmed on November 10, 2026 that Grand Theft Auto VI targets 30 frames per second on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. The PS5 Pro's advantage is image quality: Sony lists PSSR upscaling and ray-traced shadows as Pro-only features. The game launches November 19.

Is there a 60fps mode?

No 60fps or performance mode has been announced on any console. Notebookcheck reports that Rockstar chose the target to keep the density and visual fidelity of Leonida, and that Rockstar has not explicitly ruled out extra graphics modes later. A target is also not a promise of a locked frame rate in every scene.

What does each console get?

Console	Frame rate target	Confirmed extras
PS5	30fps	DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers, Tempest 3D Audio, fast SSD loading
PS5 Pro	30fps	All PS5 features plus PSSR upscaling and ray-traced shadows
Xbox Series X|S	30fps	No platform-specific extras detailed
Xbox One (cloud)	Streamed	Uses Xbox Series S graphics settings

Sony's PlayStation Blog post says DualSense speaker, haptic and trigger intensity can be adjusted in the accessibility settings. Rockstar has not published native or output resolutions for any console, including the Xbox Series S, which has less GPU power and memory than the Series X.

What do the datamines claim?

According to Notebookcheck, pre-load metadata references a newer PSSR version than current PS5 Pro games use, and a 120 Hz output reference has prompted talk of a 40fps mode. Neither point is confirmed by Rockstar or Sony, and both should be treated as speculation until the game is out.

How do you pre-load GTA 6?

A pre-order is required first. On Xbox, Engadget says to find the game in the Microsoft Store and select Install, or turn on automatic updates for games and apps. On PS5, use the pre-load option on the game's PlayStation Store page, or select the pre-order in the Game Library and turn on Auto-Download. Code-in-box buyers can redeem their code to start the download.

How much space does GTA 6 need?

Players need up to 212 GB of free storage, depending on the console. Pre-loading is open for digital pre-orders on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Engadget notes that a standard 512 GB Series S has about 362 GB of usable space, so the game takes more than half of it, and a day-one patch could add more.
