GTA 6 on PS5 Pro: 60 FPS? A Rumor More Volatile Than One of Trevor's Schemes!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
A new rumour suggests GTA 6 could hit 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro thanks to optimization and a possible Sony partnership, but it's worth remembering that this rumour contradicts previous reports about the game pushing the console too hard. So, take it with a pinch of salt until we have official confirmation.
Right, so here's a rumour that's doing the rounds, and it's got me more hyped than a kid in a candy store...or, perhaps more accurately, more skeptical than a cat watching a dog chase its tail. Word on the digital street is that Grand Theft Auto 6 *might* actually hit that sweet, sweet 60 frames per second on the PS5 Pro. Yes, *that* GTA 6, the one we've all been waiting for since, well, forever. (Original story via Game Rant.)
Now, hold your horses (or stolen supercars) for a sec. Before you start pre-ordering PS5 Pros and dusting off your favourite Hawaiian shirt for the Vice City vibes, there's a wrinkle. Previous whispers suggested that even the souped-up PS5 Pro wouldn't be beefy enough to handle GTA 6's sprawling world at a silky-smooth 60 FPS. Apparently, the CPU would be sweating more than a politician during a grilling.
But! (There's always a but, isn't there?) This new rumour comes from Detective Seeds (I swear, gaming leakers have the best names), who claims GTA 6 is consistently hitting 60 FPS during optimization on the PS5 Pro, across multiple graphical settings. Even wilder, they claim PlayStation engineers are helping Rockstar to optimize the game! Apparently a marketing deal between Sony and Rockstar could mean we'll see some PS5/GTA 6 bundles popping up before long.
Detective Seeds reckons their info comes from a "PlayStation engineer who has provided highly accurate and verified info several times in the past.” Which sounds promising, right? Except, and this is a big except, Detective Seeds isn't exactly a household name in the leaking game. They haven't got a track record as long as, say, Jason Schreier’s, so we need to take this with a mountain of salt.
Plus, let's be honest, the whole thing sounds a bit…convenient. Rockstar, bless their cotton socks, delayed GTA 6 until 2026. That gives them more time to polish, but also more time for rumours to spread faster than a wildfire through a dry desert.
Here's what I reckon: Optimization is a tricky beast. What's impossible today might be doable tomorrow with some clever coding wizardry (and maybe a pact with a digital demon or two). And Rockstar, despite their sometimes questionable decisions, are generally pretty good at squeezing the most out of consoles. So, could GTA 6 run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro? Maybe. Is it guaranteed? Absolutely not.
The good news is that GTA 6 marketing could be ramping up soon. So it's possible we'll see some official confirmation of what's possible on which platform soon.
When it eventually drops, GTA 6 is set to be absolutely massive, with some sources predicting it could be the biggest game launch ever, potentially pulling in $7.6 billion in the first couple of months. It might even cost $80, which is a bit steep, but who are we kidding? We're all gonna buy it anyway, aren't we?
So, buckle up, folks. The rumour mill is churning, the hype train is gathering speed, and we're all along for the ride. Just remember to keep a healthy dose of skepticism handy. After all, this is the gaming industry; anything can happen. (And usually does.)
