What frame rate will GTA 6 run at on PS5, and what does PS5 Pro add?

30 FPS

Reported

On consoles, according to Rockstar North

That figure comes from a developer talking about a game that was still being finished, not from an official spec sheet. Rockstar has published no numbers of its own, and a 60fps mode has not been decided. You don’t need a PS5 Pro for GTA 6: any PS5 will run it.

Question What is known Status
Frame rate on consoles 30fps in the development build, according to Rockstar North Reported
60fps mode not decided yet Reported
Resolution and graphics modes not published by Rockstar Unknown
PS5 Pro a PS Store label with no explanation Official

PS5 bundle with the game not announced by Sony Unknown

Frame rate on PS5, Xbox and PS5 Pro

According to Brazil’s Flow Games, Rob Nelson of Rockstar North told its creator Davy Jones that during development the game runs at 30fps on consoles. Whether a 60fps mode comes at launch or later, Nelson said, is for the technical team to confirm.

Citing Flow Games, Inven Global says the 30fps figure for the in-development build applies to PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. Rob Nelson of Rockstar North gave no details on resolution or ray tracing.

That is not an official spec: Nelson was talking about a build still in development. How the game runs at launch will only be clear once it is out.

According to Kotaku, on consoles GTA V only got a 60fps mode with its PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version.

That is only the history of an earlier game, not a forecast for GTA 6.

If you play on Xbox, buying the game in Ukraine is covered on our Xbox in Ukraine page.

Do you need a PS5 Pro?

No.

The PS Store marks the game as PS5 Pro Enhanced, but the standard PS5 is supported too. What the label delivers has not been explained in detail.

So in our view it is too early to buy a PS5 Pro just for GTA 6: better to wait for the first tests after launch.

What the PS5 offers

On the game’s page Sony promises DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on PS5, sound effects from the controller’s speaker, Tempest 3D audio and near-instant loading thanks to the SSD.

Sony promises all of this for the PS5 in general, not just the Pro.

The PS Store lists Remote Play support for the game: it streams from your own PS5, so you still need the console.

Which PS5 models work

Any of them.

There is no PS4 version: Sony says the game is playable only on PS5. Rockstar names only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The physical version is a code in a box with no disc. It is on sale from 12 November, Standard Edition only.

So you don’t need a disc drive: a standard PS5, a Slim, a Digital Edition or a Pro will all do.

On PS5 the game needs 212 GB of free space.

When the download opens and how long it takes is covered on the GTA 6 size and pre-load page.

The GTA VI DualSense controller

Sony is releasing two limited-edition GTA VI DualSense controllers, black and white, at a recommended price of €84.99, $84.99 or £74.99. Sales start on 19 November, though the date may vary by country.

Pre-orders opened on 10 September on PlayStation Direct, Sony’s online store. The white controller is sold in limited quantities worldwide, on PlayStation Direct and at participating retailers. The black one is sold only on PlayStation Direct, and through select retailers in countries where PlayStation Direct is not available.

Whether these controllers will be sold in Ukraine, and for how much, is unknown: PlayStation Direct does not operate in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian PlayStation site does not list them.

You don’t need it for the game: every DualSense has haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

Is there a PS5 bundle with GTA 6?

Not an official one.

Sony has not announced an official PS5 or PS5 Pro bundle with GTA VI. Console-and-game sets in shops are the retailers’ own offers.

UnknownPlayStation Blog

If the game in such a set comes boxed, the box holds only a code. What to check with a code is covered on the where to buy GTA 6 page.

Before you buy, compare the set’s price with the console and the game bought separately: the Standard Edition costs UAH 3,499 on the Ukrainian PS Store.

What is still unknown

Rockstar has not officially given a frame rate, resolution or graphics modes for GTA VI, and neither the game’s website nor the store pages list them.

UnknownRockstar website

Other questions are still open too: whether there will be a 60fps mode, what exactly the PS5 Pro adds, how the game runs on Xbox Series S, and whether the GTA VI DualSense will be sold in Ukraine.

The first independent tests will appear after launch, and we will update this page then.
