After yesterday’s extensive showcase of GTA 6, news has surfaced that Rockstar Games intends to keep the game running at 30 frames per second (FPS) on both PS5 and PS5 Pro, which has left many players divided. While we expected the base console to handle 30 FPS, fans had hoped that the more powerful PS5 Pro would support higher frame rates. Unfortunately, Rockstar hasn’t made any promises in that regard.
Numerous rumors circulated that GTA 6 might run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro, but those hopes have been dashed by Rockstar’s official statement. YouTuber Davy Jones, who was invited to Rockstar North for an exclusive look, reports that he confirmed a 30 FPS target with Rob Nelson, the head of development. Jones notes that Rockstar isn’t certain if 60 FPS will be achievable now or in the future, much less by launch.
Given the scale of GTA 6, it’s not surprising that the game is set to run at 30 FPS on current consoles. Still, this news hasn’t sat well with the community. Many are holding out hope that Rockstar will add at least 40 FPS support on the PS5 Pro.
One Reddit user remarked, “Unlocked VRR mode is the least they could do,” while another added, “30 FPS isn’t acceptable for any current-gen AAA title.” Players are eager for improvements, and many are advocating for better performance modes to enhance the gaming experience.
