TelegramConsole comparison: confirmed vs not
Update (10 Nov 2026): Official Rockstar has now confirmed that GTA 6 targets 30 FPS on current-gen consoles, that PS5 Pro adds PSSR and ray-traced shadows (PS5 Pro only), and that PS5 has full DualSense haptics, improved Tempest 3D Audio and faster loads. No 60 FPS mode is announced. Read more.
| Console | Frame rate | Resolution | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | 30 FPS (Rockstar) | About 1440p internal (Digital Foundry, from footage) | Confirmed 30 FPS |
| PS5 Pro | 30 FPS target (Rockstar) | Not published | PSSR and ray-traced shadows only on PS5 Pro (Rockstar, 10 Nov) |
| Xbox Series X | 30 FPS (Rockstar) | Not published | Box lists Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos |
| Xbox Series S | 30 FPS (Rockstar) | Not published, expected lower | Resolution not announced |
Where 30 FPS comes from: Rob Nelson of Rockstar North told Flow Games in August that during development the consoles were running the game at 30 frames per second, and that a 60 FPS option at launch or later was still to be decided. Rockstar has not published a graphics mode list since.
Digital Foundry: it found about 1440p on PS5 and a steady 33.3 ms cadence, and called a console 60 FPS version extremely unlikely because the CPU budget is used up. Those are analysis of Rockstar footage, not a Rockstar spec.
PS5 Pro: the store tag means Pro-specific improvements but not which ones. A deleted PlayStation France post reportedly mentioned PSSR and ray tracing; that is unofficial. A 40 FPS mode appears only in an unconfirmed datamine, see our 40 FPS report.
Not different: all four consoles use the same 19 Nov 2026 launch and the same midnight-local unlock. Preload is about 212GB.
Is this real? Reported, but not confirmed by Rockstar yet
Who said it: Rockstar North (Rob Nelson, via Flow Games), Digital Foundry analysis, PlayStation and Xbox store listings; compiled from TimeSaver and Vice reports Sources: 1. Our view: Plan for 30 FPS everywhere. Pick the console you already own; no confirmed gap decides it. Checked: 9 Nov 2026.
