GTA 6: 30 fps targeted on consoles, PSSR and RT shadows on PS5 Pro

Update of November 11, 2026: this article now relies solely on Rockstar's official post for the frame rate, PSSR and ray-traced shadows. The claim, taken from a media outlet, that the game has "no 60 and no 40 mode" has been removed: Rockstar announces neither mode and says nothing more.

On November 10, 2026, Rockstar announced in its Newswire post that it is targeting 30 frames per second for GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. On PS5 Pro, it announced PSSR and exclusive ray-traced shadows.

What Rockstar announced

Official: in the post "Pre-Load Grand Theft Auto VI Now", published the day pre-loading opened, Rockstar writes that GTA 6 was developed for the current generation of consoles, "targeting 30 frames per second while pushing both platforms to their absolute limits". The two platforms listed on its official site are PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The post mentions no 60 or 40 frames per second mode and gives no resolution figure.

PS5 Pro: clarity and ray-traced shadows

Official: Rockstar announces improved clarity on PS5 Pro through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and ray-traced shadows "only available on PlayStation 5 Pro". The post describes image gains; it does not announce a different frame rate for PS5 Pro.

PS5 and Xbox

Official: on PS5, Rockstar announces DualSense haptic feedback integrated across the game and adjustable via accessibility settings, spatial audio rendering that takes advantage of Tempest 3D Audio, and improved load times. Pre-loading has been open since November 10 for digital pre-orders.

Official: Rockstar says the game will also be available via Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, using Xbox Series S graphics settings, and that connection speeds may affect streaming performance. GTA 6 will support Remote Play on PlayStation and Xbox. The date the cloud option opens is not specified. Our article on GTA 6 and Xbox Cloud covers this point.

What changes on the site

Our article on the PS5 Pro badge, the console comparison and the answers on the Questions page have been aligned with Rockstar's post.

What remains unknown

• The target resolution on each console.
• A performance mode: the post announces none, without saying whether one could arrive after release.
• How stable the 30 frames per second will be in practice, which can only be measured in the game.
• Whether Xbox Cloud Gaming will be available at launch.
