GTA 6 Targets 30 FPS: PS5 Pro and Xbox Cloud

News · By · Published

GTA 6 targets 30 frames per second on consoles. It's built for current-generation hardware and keeps the density and visual fidelity of Leonida's environments and people.

There's more for specific setups: PS5 Pro gets extra clarity and exclusive ray-traced shadows, and Xbox One owners will be able to play through Xbox Cloud Gaming from launch day. With launch on November 19 (full timing in our GTA 6 release date guide) and pre-loading already open, here's what each one means for you.

GTA 6 runs at a 30 fps target

GTA 6 targets 30 fps on current-generation consoles, while keeping a world that stays dense and detailed, from Leonida's streets to the people walking them.

A 60 fps option or performance mode has not been announced, and resolution figures have not been confirmed either. If that changes, we'll update this post.

What PS5 Pro and PS5 add

PS5 Pro gets two upgrades:

  • Improved image clarity through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).

  • Ray-traced shadows, which are only available on PS5 Pro.

On PS5 you also get:

  • High-fidelity DualSense haptic feedback across the whole game, which you can adjust in the accessibility settings.

  • Improved spatial audio for Tempest 3D Audio.

  • Improved load times.

Xbox One owners can play through the cloud

GTA 6 will also be playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles from launch day, starting at 1 a.m. ET on November 19. Cloud play uses Xbox Series S graphics settings.

Two things to know. You need to buy the game itself to stream it, and in supported markets you can buy cloud playtime without a Game Pass subscription (options vary by market and device). Streaming can also be affected by your connection speed and other technical factors in ways local play is not, so a weak connection may hurt performance.

Remote Play is also fully supported on both PlayStation and Xbox.

Pre-load is live: check your download

Pre-loading has been open since November 10 for everyone who pre-ordered GTA 6 digitally. It started at local midnight on PS5 and at 12 a.m. GMT on Xbox Series X|S, and the download is up to 212 GB, so make sure it has finished and you have the space. Our GTA 6 pre-load date and file size post has the full timing and size details.
