- PS5 Pro: PSSR for improved clarity, plus ray-traced shadows only on the Pro
- PS5: haptic feedback on DualSense, Tempest 3D Audio and improved load times
- Xbox: also playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Series X|S and Xbox One, with Series S graphics settings
- Remote Play: fully supported on PlayStation and Xbox
GTA 6 frame rate: what Rockstar said about 30 fps
This is the first time Rockstar has put a number on GTA 6 performance. The studio says the game has been “fully developed from the ground up to provide the best possible experience for the current generation of consoles”. The key line follows right after:
“targeting 30 frames per second while pushing both platforms to their absolute limits to bring the vast and rich world of Leonida to life”

Rockstar adds that the goal is to keep “the density and visual fidelity of all its environments and inhabitants”. The post does not mention a 60 fps mode or a performance mode on any console, the PS5 Pro included. Until Rockstar says otherwise, expect 30 fps at launch.
GTA 6 on PS5 Pro, PS5 and Xbox compared
| Console | What Rockstar confirmed |
|---|---|
| PS5 Pro | Improved clarity through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR). Ray-traced shadows “only available on PlayStation 5 Pro” |
| PS5 | Haptic feedback on DualSense across the game, Tempest 3D Audio, improved load times |
| Xbox Series X|S | Native version targeting 30 fps. Also playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming |
| Xbox One | Cloud only, through Xbox Cloud Gaming, with Xbox Series S graphics settings |
| PC | Not announced |
The PlayStation Store has listed GTA 6 as “PS5 Pro Enhanced” for a while, but this is the first time anyone official has said what that means. Rockstar names two things: sharper image quality through PSSR, and ray-traced shadows that the standard PS5 does not get. No resolution figures are given for any console.
DualSense and audio on PS5
On PS5, Rockstar promises “high-fidelity haptic feedback fully integrated across the game on DualSense controllers”, which can be adjusted in the accessibility settings. All in-game sound is built to use Tempest 3D Audio, and load times are improved. Rockstar says this makes GTA 6 “play best on PlayStation 5 consoles”.
Can you play GTA 6 on Xbox One?
Only through the cloud. Rockstar says GTA 6 “will also be available via XBOX Cloud Gaming on XBOX Series X|S and XBOX One consoles, utilizing XBOX Series S graphics settings”. There is no native Xbox One version, and no PS4 version.
Rockstar also warns that with cloud streaming, “connection speeds and other technical factors may influence game performance” in ways that do not affect a locally installed game. The post does not say whether you need Game Pass to stream it, so check the Xbox store before you count on it.
- Remote Play: GTA 6 “will also fully support Remote Play on PlayStation and XBOX”
- Still unknown: a 60 fps mode, exact resolutions, crossplay and a PC version
