Short answer
Rockstar confirmed on November 10, 2026 that GTA 6 targets 30 fps on PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S, with no 60 fps mode announced. Per the PlayStation Blog and VGC, PS5 Pro adds PSSR upscaling for a sharper image and ray-traced shadows that no other console gets.
Key points
- 30 fps is the target on every console, PS5 Pro included (Rockstar, Nov 10, 2026).
- PS5 Pro exclusives: PSSR upscaling and ray-traced shadows.
- No 60 fps or performance mode has been announced. Rockstar has not published resolutions.
- Every PS5 gets DualSense speaker, haptics and adaptive triggers, Tempest 3D Audio and faster SSD loading.
- Storage: up to 212 GB on any console.
Does GTA 6 run at 60 fps on PS5 Pro?
No. In a statement on November 10, 2026, Rockstar said GTA 6 was built from the ground up for current consoles, “targeting 30 frames per second”. That covers PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S. There is no 60 fps mode, Pro included.
The 30 fps target itself was first confirmed in August. November’s statement restated it with the Pro explicitly named and spelled out what that console gets instead.
What does PS5 Pro add?
Two things, both about image quality rather than smoothness:
- PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution). Sony’s AI upscaler. The PlayStation Blog describes the result as “improved clarity”.
- Ray-traced shadows. VGC quoted Rockstar saying they are “only available on PlayStation 5 Pro”. Neither the base PS5 nor Xbox Series X has them.
Rockstar has not published resolution figures for any console.

Why is it still 30 fps?
Rockstar gave no technical explanation beyond its statement. The choice is plain, though: on the Pro, the extra GPU headroom goes into image quality, not frame rate.
As of November 11, 2026, Rockstar has not announced a performance mode or a patch that raises the frame rate.
What does every PS5 get?
The November 10 PlayStation Blog post by Tim Turi lists features for all PS5 models:
- DualSense: the controller speaker, haptics and adaptive triggers are “fully used across the game”. Sony’s trailer showed weapon recoil in the triggers and police radio chatter through the controller speaker (VGC).
- Tempest 3D Audio for positional sound.
- Faster loading from the SSD.
Storage is the same on every console: up to 212 GB.
Should you buy a PS5 Pro for GTA 6?
If you want a smoother game, no. It runs at the same 30 fps as a base PS5. If you play on a large 4K TV and care about sharpness, PSSR and ray-traced shadows are the only things separating the Pro from a base PS5.
If you’re still on Xbox One, your route is the cloud, covered in GTA 6 on Xbox One via Xbox Cloud Gaming. The full comparison lives in the platforms guide, and pricing in the price guide.
