Tech experts have cautioned that GTA 6 may not achieve a higher frame rate upon its release on the upcoming PS5 or PS5 Pro consoles. The latest generation of consoles offers different modes for gameplay optimization, as seen in Rockstar's GTA 5. Fidelity mode prioritizes image quality, displaying at 4k with ray tracing but at a locked 30fps. Ray tracing technology simulates light behavior for enhanced visuals. Performance mode focuses on a higher frame rate of 60fps with lower image quality, while Performance RT mode combines 4k resolution with ray tracing at 60fps.
When GTA 5 initially launched in 2013 on older consoles, it ran at 30fps, with the option for 60fps only available on current-gen consoles. Recent leaks about the potential PS5 Pro suggest support for 8k gameplay, 45% faster performance, and improved ray tracing capabilities. The PS5 Pro is rumored to release during the holiday season of 2024, preceding the expected launch of GTA 6 in 2025.
