The excitement around Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) continues to build as fans eagerly await its release. While the game is still about a year away from launch, fresh leaks have ignited discussions not about storylines or characters this time, but about performance. According to recent rumors, GTA 6 may run at a buttery-smooth 60 frames per second (FPS) but only on Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro.

A New Era of Console Performance?

Traditionally, GTA games have been capped at 30 FPS on consoles, a standard that hasn’t changed even with newer hardware like the PS5 or Xbox Series X. However, industry leaker Detective Seeds on X (formerly Twitter) claims that Rockstar Games is working closely with Sony to optimize GTA 6 specifically for the PS5 Pro. This collaboration could result in a performance mode delivering 60 FPS, finally putting console players on par with high-end PC gamers at launch.

What About PS5 and Xbox Series X?

If you're currently gaming on a standard PS5 or Xbox Series X, you might be in for a disappointment. The same leaks suggest that GTA 6 will likely stick to 30 FPS on these consoles at launch. While neither Rockstar nor Sony has confirmed this, the move could be strategic giving fans a strong incentive to upgrade to Sony’s next-generation hardware.

PS5 Pro Launch and Special Edition Rumors

The PS5 Pro is expected to hit the market before the GTA 6 release window, which is tentatively set for May 2026. And in true gaming fashion, rumors are also swirling about a limited-edition GTA 6-themed PS5 Pro. Though currently unconfirmed, such a release would mirror past collaborations where themed consoles were launched alongside blockbuster titles.

Characters, Story, and Visuals

Trailer 2 of GTA 6 already wowed fans by introducing Jason and Lucia, with Lucia making headlines as GTA’s first female protagonist. Now, with the potential for higher performance on next-gen consoles, the game may look and feel more immersive than ever especially on PS5 Pro’s rumored upgraded GPU and faster processing power.

Should You Wait to Upgrade?

If you're a dedicated GTA enthusiast or someone who values top-tier visuals and frame rates, it might be wise to hold off on purchasing a new console until the PS5 Pro officially launches. But remember these performance details are based on unverified leaks. Until we hear directly from Rockstar Games or Sony, it’s best to take the news with a grain of salt while keeping an eye out for official updates.

Final Thoughts

Whether you're planning to explore Vice City again or excited about GTA 6’s groundbreaking features, one thing’s clear: the PS5 Pro might just be the key to unlocking the ultimate GTA 6 experience. Stay tuned as more details unfold in the months ahead.
