- GTA 6 was expected to run at 30FPS on the current-gen consoles.
- That is why fans have been expecting the PlayStation 5 Pro to be able to run this game at 60FPS.
- However, Digital Foundry has just confirmed that given the history of GTA games, the upcoming one won’t be running at 60FPS on the PS5 Pro.
GTA 6 is arguably the most hyped and anticipated game in the gaming industry. Although the game is said to be the first one to increase the $70 price tag, fans shouldn’t worry, as that might not be the case.
Also, there were recently some rumours going on that the game is being delayed to 2026 but the most reliable insider in this instance confirmed that no delay is currently planned. That said, fans have also been concerned whether the game will run at 60FPS on the upcoming PS5 Pro.
Unfortunately, this console won’t be able to run GTA 6 at 60 FPS as confirmed by Digital Foundry.
Why it matters: PS5 Pro is advertised as an 8K console that can run games at double the framerates the base PS5 can.
In a recent interview, IGN asked Digital Foundry whether GTA 6 will run at 60FPS on PS5 Pro. Leadbetter gave a quick response, saying no, as GTA games have always been complex, so achieving 60FPS will not be possible even for the upcoming pro console.
No. Grand Theft Auto games have always run complex simulations that push the CPU hard, which is why every GTA game has initially launched on their target platforms at 30fps (or lower!).

He further explains that the pro version uses the same CPU as the PS5, so it would be extremely challenging to achieve 60FPS. It doesn’t even seem achievable, as the problem doesn’t lie with the GPU; it lies with the CPU.
PS5 Pro is a big upgrade from the base version. While many might not think it is a worthy upgrade, it will still run the upcoming GTA better than any other console. The game won’t be released on PC on day one, so for the best results, fans would have to opt for the pro version.
While the game might not target the desired FPS, it could give you a more stable performance. Also, it is worth noting that there might be some enhanced games for the pro console that run at 30FPS, as Sony wasn’t really clear on this.
