GTA 6 on PS5 Pro Will Still Be Capped at 30 FPS, Rockstar Confirms

Rockstar Games has outlined the enhancements planned for the PS5 Pro version of Grand Theft Auto 6, and for players who hoped Sony's more powerful console would deliver a smoother game, the news is disappointing. The upgrades will not take the game past 30 frames per second, the same target the developer is aiming for on consoles.

The announcement lands as preloads for the game go live, so players can start downloading ahead of release. It also makes clear that the Pro's extra hardware headroom is not being used to chase a higher frame rate. Instead, the improvements Rockstar is promoting for the enhanced console are aimed at what the game looks like on screen rather than how many frames are drawn each second.

That is a familiar trade-off for a large open-world title. Frame rate targets are often a balance between visual fidelity and smoothness, and Rockstar has consistently favored the more detailed presentation. Players who prioritize responsiveness may still find the 30 FPS cap a sticking point, especially on a console marketed as a performance upgrade.

Anyone planning to buy for PS5 Pro should look to Rockstar's official communication for the full list of changes before deciding whether the upgrade is worth the cost.
