GTA 6 runs at 30 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at launch, according to VGC and TechRadar, and no 60fps mode has been announced. Rockstar hasn’t published a resolution for any console, and the PlayStation Store lists the game as “PS5 Pro Enhanced” without saying what that adds. A normal 60Hz TV shows a 30fps game in full, so you don’t need a new TV for launch day.

Why 30fps
Analysis Tech analysts quoted by TechRadar and GamesRadar point to the consoles’ processors, not their graphics chips. A city as busy as Vice City, with crowds, traffic and physics, loads the processor, and the PS5 Pro has only a small processor upgrade over the standard PS5. That is why they expect the Pro to bring sharper visuals rather than double the frame rate.
PS5 Pro: what “Enhanced” means
Confirmed The PlayStation Store page shows “PS5 Pro Enhanced” and says the game is released for PS5 and PS5 Pro on November 19. Sony uses that label for games with extra work for the Pro. Not announced Neither Sony nor Rockstar has said whether that means a higher resolution, better ray tracing, a steadier 30fps or a faster mode. Don’t buy a PS5 Pro for GTA 6 only on the hope of 60fps.
Do you need a 120Hz TV?
Analysis No. A 30fps game shows every frame on any 60Hz TV or monitor. 120Hz only helps if Rockstar later adds a 40fps or 60fps mode; a 40fps mode, which some analysts suggest, needs a 120Hz screen. What makes a bigger difference at 30fps is your TV’s settings: turn on game mode to cut input lag. Our best TV settings for GTA 6 guide walks through them.
Could a 60fps mode come later?
Not announced Rockstar hasn’t said. TechRadar’s report says 30fps is the launch frame rate, not necessarily the final one, and GamesRadar reports Rockstar is undecided on a performance mode. We’ll update this page as soon as Rockstar, Sony or Microsoft says more.
