GTA VI: Rockstar Is Gearing Up for a 60FPS Visual Slap—But Only One Console Can Take It
Rumors surrounding GTA 6 keep swirling and intensifying—but this one might truly excite even the most demanding fans: the game could hit 60 frames per second… though not on every console!
As the release of GTA 6 edges closer, leaks and speculation continue to dominate gaming news. Every week brings new unofficial tidbits, and this time, it’s the game’s performance on consoles that’s fueling the conversation.

Optimized for the PS5 Pro
According to DetectiveSeeds—a now-trusted figure among gaming insiders thanks to previous accurate leaks about Doom: The Dark Ages and the Oblivion remaster—the PS5 Pro version of GTA 6 is already hitting 60FPS during optimization. This performance boost is thanks to close collaboration between Rockstar and Sony engineers.
GTA6 has been, and continues to hit 60fps while being optimized for the PS5 Pro on multiple graphical settings. PS engineers are assisting with the optimization due to the new tech being implemented and rolled out with a current target date of May 2026.

The YouTuber also claims that multiple graphical settings will be available on this enhanced version of the console, offering welcome flexibility for demanding players.
Performance Will Vary by Console
So far, there’s been no concrete information about performance on the standard PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. Everything suggests that only the PS5 Pro will fully deliver the smooth 60FPS experience at launch. Here’s what we know so far:
- 60FPS achieved only on PS5 Pro, thanks to targeted optimization
- Multiple graphical modes available, allowing various levels of visual fidelity
- No confirmation for other consoles, which may offer a less fluid experience
And that’s not all. A marketing partnership between Sony and Rockstar Games is reportedly in place, possibly leading to PS5 Pro bundles featuring GTA 6—similar to what was done with the PS4 Pro and Red Dead Redemption 2. This strategy could further cement Sony’s position as the go-to platform for Rockstar’s next blockbuster release.
Take It with a Grain of Salt… for Now
Despite the leak’s credibility, caution is still advised. As usual, Rockstar remains silent, and no official statement has yet confirmed—or denied—this information. Plus, with GTA 6 still in development, performance targets could change ahead of the planned 2026 release.
One thing’s clear: if these details hold true, the PS5 Pro could well become the definitive platform to fully experience GTA 6. Until then, fans will just have to wait patiently, eyes peeled for any official update… and maybe rewatch the recently released second trailer to keep the hype going.
