The release of GTA 6 might still be over a year away, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from buzzing with new updates and rumors. Earlier this year, Rockstar dropped a second trailer that gave fans a deeper look into the game’s story — introducing characters like Jason and Lucia, who happens to be the series’ first female protagonist. Meanwhile, the official GTA 6 microsite continues to tease details and keep the hype alive.
Could GTA 6 Finally Run at 60 FPS?
One of the biggest questions players have is whether GTA 6 may offer smoother 60 fps gameplay on consoles. Past GTA games have typically been locked to 30 fps, especially at launch. So naturally, many assumed GTA 6 would follow the same path on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
But now, leaks suggest something different — and a little controversial.
A PS5 Pro Exclusive?
According to new reports, this feature could be limited to the PlayStation 5 Pro. That’s right — the upgraded version of the PS5 might be the only console able to run the game at 60 fps. It’s not that the standard PS5 or Xbox Series X can’t handle it entirely, but Rockstar seems to be optimizing the higher frame rate specifically for the Pro model.
In fact, Sony engineers are reportedly collaborating with Rockstar Games to fine-tune GTA 6 for this advanced hardware. A known insider who goes by the name “Detective Seeds” even claimed on social media that GTA 6 will support 60 fps gameplay on the PS5 Pro, across multiple visual settings.
Launch Window and What to Expect
If everything goes according to plan, these optimizations should be ready by the game’s full launch, currently anticipated in May 2026. That means those hoping to experience GTA 6 in its smoothest form might want to keep an eye on the PS5 Pro.
Are Rockstar and Sony Teaming Up?
All this has also sparked talk about a possible Sony-Rockstar partnership. After all, exclusive performance features, early access, or even subtle branding moves could point to some behind-the-scenes collaboration. It’s not confirmed, but the idea is definitely gaining traction among fans.
