A prominent content creator claims that Grand Theft Auto VI is currently targeting a 30 FPS cap on consoles, following an exclusive preview event. Content creator Davy Jones revealed the technical constraint after attending an exclusive three hour gameplay demonstration with studio leadership in Edinburgh. The revelation means players should not expect a 60 FPS performance mode on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X at launch.
The news came after Rockstar North released its first official gameplay reveal just three months before the planned global release date. Head of Development Rob Nelson personally played over two hours of real time gameplay directly in front of invited industry guests. Jones subsequently shared the exact details of his interaction with Nelson during a recent episode of his Flow Games podcast.
