30fps target on consoles
Gadgets 360 also reports that GTA 6 will target 30 frames per second on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series S/X. According to the outlet, the game is not expected to launch with a 60fps Performance mode on any consoles.
On the PS5 Pro side, Gadgets 360 says the title will use PSSR for better image clarity and add ray-traced shadows. According to Gadgets 360, Rockstar has shared extra PS5-specific features as well.
The Tea
Cloud streaming could be the sneaky way Rockstar keeps last-gen players in the fold without extra dev work. The 30fps lock shows they’re picking stability over flashy performance, which fits how these big open-world games usually ship. If the cloud option actually works smoothly, it might quietly change who gets to play on day one.
