- GTA 6 is expected to feature a newer version of PSSR 2 on the PS5 Pro, per data-mined information.
- The listed PSSR 2 version for the open-world experience is 13.60, different than what other AAA games feature.
- Support for a 120 Hz mode has also been discovered, but it’s unclear whether the game features a 40 FPS mode yet.
After years of waiting, GTA 6 has become all the rage in the industry as its release draws closer by the day. The game is expected to take 223 GB of space on the PS5 consoles worldwide, and its online variant is expected to launch as a standalone experience in the future.
Dataminers are also digging up the game’s metadata, which comes from configuration data associated with GTA 6 on PlayStation. The latest scoop reveals that Rockstar’s magnum opus features a newer version of PSSR 2.
Why it matters: The addition of a newer PSSR 2 version and the high-frequency CPU boost for PS5 Pro suggests GTA 6 may feature greatly enhanced performance on Sony’s flagship console compared to other devices. The addition of 120 Hz could also indicate a 40 FPS mode.
Credible Rockstar insider and dataminer, Tez2, reports on GTAForums that the PSSR 2 version for GTA 6 in the metadata is dubbed as “mfsrVersion,” which internally stands for Multi-Frame Super Resolution.
It is labeled as ‘13.60’ instead of ‘13.00A,’ which is used for the base upscaler in other games like Cyberpunk 2077 and AC Shadows.
This suggests a clear iterative upscaler upgrade, so we can expect it to hit even better performance milestones in GTA 6 than the base PSSR 2. However, it may not be anything as grand as ‘PSSR 3.’
Tez2 also points out that GTA 6 boasts a 120 Hz mode without VRR, a configuration typically paired with a 40 FPS mode in games. However, there is no explicit confirmation that Rockstar has added a 40 FPS mode to the title yet.
Tez2 also found mentions of ‘a Bit 22 on attribute3’ in GTA 6’s PS5 Pro metadata. It references a flag for high CPU frequency mode support for the flagship console. This can be understood as a PS5 Pro CPU boost utilized during gameplay, but exact details are still unclear.
