GTA 6 Runs at 30 FPS on Every Console: What PS5 Pro Gets Instead
Rockstar confirmed a 30 fps target on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. There is no 60 fps mode at launch. The PS5 Pro puts its extra power into PSSR and ray-traced shadows.
Rockstar's pre-load announcement on November 10, 2026 settled the biggest performance question: Grand Theft Auto VI targets 30 frames per second on every console, including the PS5 Pro.
Frame rate by console
| Console | Target | Extras |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 | 30 fps | — |
| PS5 Pro | 30 fps | PSSR upscaling, ray-traced shadows |
| Xbox Series X | 30 fps | — |
| Xbox Series S | 30 fps | — |
| Xbox Cloud Gaming | 30 fps | Uses Series S graphics settings |
Rockstar says the game is pushing both platforms "to their absolute limits". There is no 60 fps performance mode announced for launch.
What does the PS5 Pro actually add?
- PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) for a sharper image.
- Ray-traced shadows, which are only on PS5 Pro.
So the Pro looks better, but it does not run faster.
Will there be a 40 fps or 60 fps mode later?
Nothing is promised. Some fans hope for a 40 fps mode on 120 Hz TVs, but Rockstar has not said a word about it. Analysts point to the CPU, not the GPU, as the limit: the PS5 Pro's CPU is barely faster than the base PS5, so a 60 fps patch looks unlikely. Treat any "60 fps update" claim as a rumor until Rockstar posts it.
Tips for a smoother 30 fps
- Turn on your TV's Game Mode to cut input lag.
- Turn off motion smoothing / frame interpolation on the TV.
- If you are torn between PS5 and PS5 Pro, the difference is image quality and shadows, not frame rate.
