GTA 6 on PS5 Pro Could Reach 60 FPS, According to Leak
A fresh rumor has sparked excitement among PlayStation players, suggesting that Grand Theft Auto 6 may be able to run at 60 frames per second on the PS5 Pro. If true, this would contradict earlier claims that the highly anticipated title would struggle to hit that performance target, even on Sony’s upgraded hardware.
Officially revealed by Rockstar Games in December 2023, GTA 6 has been confirmed for release in May 2026 following a delay announced earlier this year. The open-world crime epic is already poised to be one of the biggest launches in gaming history, and the possibility of a smooth 60 FPS experience on consoles would be a major draw for many players.
Leak Claims PlayStation and Rockstar Are Collaborating on Optimization
The latest rumor comes from leaker Detective Seeds, who claims that GTA 6 is consistently reaching 60 FPS while optimized for the PS5 Pro at multiple graphical settings. According to the leak, engineers from PlayStation are actively collaborating with Rockstar to fine-tune the game’s performance ahead of launch, thanks to a marketing partnership between the two companies.
The same source also claimed that several PS5/GTA 6 bundles are planned for release alongside the game, likely to capitalize on the massive demand expected at launch. Detective Seeds credits the information to a PlayStation engineer with a history of accurate leaks, though it’s important to note that this individual does not have a widely established track record.
Previous Reports Painted a Different Picture
This new claim directly contradicts earlier reports, which suggested that GTA 6’s vast open world would overwhelm the PS5 Pro’s CPU and prevent the game from running at 60 FPS. Those reports fueled concerns that even Sony’s more powerful console would have to settle for 30 FPS when running the game at high settings.
With nearly two years left before the scheduled release, however, it’s still possible that Rockstar’s ongoing optimization efforts and PlayStation’s support could improve the game’s performance. Until official confirmation arrives, players should approach the rumor with caution.
Anticipation Builds for Rockstar’s Biggest Launch Yet
When it finally releases, Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to shatter records. Analysts predict the game could generate as much as $7.6 billion within its first 60 days on the market, making it one of the most profitable launches in gaming history.
The base game is rumored to carry an $80 price tag, in line with recent industry trends toward higher prices for premium titles. While this increase may deter some, the enormous popularity of the GTA franchise is likely to outweigh price concerns for most fans.
As marketing efforts for GTA 6 ramp up over the next year, fans can expect more details — and hopefully, official confirmation about the game’s performance on PS5 Pro — in the months to come.
