GTA 6 PS5 Pro Features and Console Performance Details Revealed

GTA 6 is now available to preload digitally on all platforms, and Rockstar has finally shared some technical details about each console version, including what players can expect on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 Pro. Here’s a breakdown of everything confirmed by Rockstar.

GTA 6 PS5 Pro Enhancements

Rockstar has confirmed that the PS5 Pro version of GTA 6 uses PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) for upscaling and includes ray-traced shadows, which aren’t available on the base PS5.

These are the two visual enhancements Rockstar has specifically highlighted for the more powerful console. No resolution figures or additional graphics settings have been announced. Rockstar hasn’t confirmed whether the base PS5 uses QSSR either. For now, the assumption is that it uses either FSR or a spatial upscaler developed by Rockstar.

GTA 6 Framerate on All Platforms

Rockstar has also confirmed that GTA 6 targets 30 FPS on all current-generation consoles, whether you’re playing on PS5, PS5 Pro, or Xbox Series X|S.

If you were hoping for a 60 or 40 FPS mode on the PS5 Pro, Rockstar hasn’t announced one. The Pro’s additional enhancements are focused on image clarity thanks to PSSR and ray-traced shadows rather than a higher frame-rate target.

GTA 6 PS5 Features

The PS5 version of GTA 6 supports several features specific to PlayStation hardware, including:

• Haptic feedback: The DualSense controller provides vibrations that respond to player actions and environmental factors.
• Adaptive triggers: The controller’s triggers offer dynamic resistance during gameplay.
• Integrated speaker: The DualSense speaker plays additional sound effects during certain interactions.
• Tempest 3D Audio: Provides spatial audio with more accurate sound positioning.
• Fast loading: The PS5’s ultra-high-speed SSD enables near-instant load times.

You can also adjust the haptic feedback via accessibility settings.

GTA 6 Xbox Cloud Gaming

GTA 6 will also be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, with the streamed version using Xbox Series S graphics settings. Additionally, Rockstar has also confirmed that the game supports Remote Play on both PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Finally, there’s a brand new mini-trailer out now for GTA 6’s preload, which includes some new footage and the track “Blood in Your Eyes” from Tov Lo, which will also be featured on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album.
