Grand Theft Auto 6 has recently shared a new clip on social media that recreates a real camera shot previously posted last month. While the original video featured real-life Miami, the new footage showcases Vice City utilizing in-game graphics. The visuals are so impressive that many viewers initially mistook the footage for real life rather than game engine graphics.
The 30 FPS Discussion
Despite widespread excitement over the impressive graphics, the reveal brought a major disappointment for players. According to tech expert Nils Raettig, GTA 6 will run at only 30 frames per second on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, rather than 60 FPS. This limitation applies even to the PlayStation 5 Pro version. In the community, this decision has sparked a lot of incomprehension and questions regarding whether hardware could push for more.
What players are saying
- Console players noted they would be glad if the game simply maintains a stable 30 FPS, drawing comparisons back to how GTA 5 performed on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
- Some viewers jokingly remarked that Post Malone was delivering the latest GTA news.
- Other commenters expressed disappointment that despite GTA 6 releasing soon, some felt there wasn't enough substantial discussion about it.
