GTA 6 will run at 30fps on all consoles and feature Ray Tracing improvements on PS5 Pro
Rockstar has finally announced the performance of GTA 6. It will run at 30fps on all consoles, but the PS5 Pro enhancements improve ray tracing.
“Grand Theft Auto VI was developed from the ground up to deliver the best possible experience for the current generation of consoles, targeting 30 frames per second while pushing both platforms to their absolute limits to bring the vast and rich world of Leonida to life — while retaining the density and visual fidelity of all its environments and inhabitants. » Rockstar said in a message.
This means that no matter which console you’re playing on – PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, or Xbox Series S – the game will run at 30fps or lower. “Target 30fps” is different from locked 30fps, so there is likely some fluctuation in busy scenes.
Ray tracing allows for finer detail in shadows, as well as shadows that naturally blur and widen as they move away from the object casting them, matching the physical size of the light source. The improvements here are only available on PS5 Pro.
There are also PlayStation-exclusive details in the controls, which support high-fidelity haptic feedback on the DualSense controller – Rockstar says it has “fully integrated” it into the game. The same goes for Sony’s Tempest 3D audio for spatial audio enhancements.
The latter two are true for the base PS5 and PS5 Pro. All this and improved loading times make “Grand Theft Auto VI runs better on PlayStation 5 consoles,” according to Rockstar.
GTA 6 will also be available to play via Xbox Cloud Gaming on all Xbox consoles, including Xbox One, which is surprising. The game will, however, use the Xbox Series S graphics settings.
There are no details on how the game runs on Xbox Series S, but it is widely expected to be the lower version of the game due to the console’s lower hardware specs.
“As with any cloud streaming, connection speeds and other technical factors may influence game performance in ways that would not impact local gameplay,” Rockstar said.
You’ll also be able to play GTA 6 via remote play on PlayStation and Xbox consoles when it launches on November 19.
