GTA 6 Will Be Limited To Just 30 FPS Despite Fan Expectations For 60 FPS, Say Analysts

Tech Experts Crush Hopes For 60FPS in GTA 6!

Story Highlight
  • It was previously said on many occasions that GTA 6 is likely to be 30 FPS only at launch. 
  • However, now, after the second trailer’s release, many started thinking that PS5 may be able to run the game at 60 FPS.
  • Digital Foundry has just shattered those expectations, claiming that the game will be very likely locked at 30 FPS.

Rockstar surprised everyone yesterday by releasing the second trailer of GTA 6. There was no marketing for the trailer, which is why it wasn’t leaked, and the company successfully surprised its fandom. 

The second trailer was captured on the PS5, and the videos from Rockstar’s website seemed to be 60 FPS. Many fans thought that the PlayStation 5 may be able to run GTA 6 at 60fps. However, tech experts think otherwise. They have revealed that Rockstar will lock the game at 30 FPS.

Why it matters: After the trailer was released, many were shocked that the game was running smoothly on the PS5 and claimed that the console may be able to run it at 60 FPS. However, Digital Foundry has given a detailed analysis that says otherwise. 

The tech experts think Rockstar won’t add a 60 FPS performance mode, that Rockstar can’t remove RTGI now, and that ray-traced reflections also play an important role in the visual style. So, all of the signs, as per them, point toward the gaming giant locking the game at 30 FPS.

I think everything points to this being a 30 30 FPS game, maybe with a 40 FPS mode.

Alex

All three of them made their points, explaining that the game will be a 30fps-only launch. Alex explained this in detail. He said all of the games released in the past from this developer (except Table Tennis) were 30 FPS or even lower, so there is a high probability of the same happening with GTA 6.

However, this alone won’t count as a good argument, so he also explained shortly before making this statement that RTGI can’t be removed and how well the RT Reflections make the visuals look, so removing either would compromise a lot, hence everything points toward 30fps.

Oliver completely agreed with Alex’s statement, but he thinks Rockstar may do the unthinkable. They also revealed that in the trailer, the game is running at 1152p with FSR1 and that it is very likely to switch to FSR2 or PSSR.
