GTA 6 60 FPS: Performance Mode Rumors and What’s Confirmed
Will GTA 6 run at 60 FPS on PS5 and Xbox? Here is what a source reported, what the trailers suggest, and what Rockstar has not confirmed.
GTA 6 60 FPS: Will There Be a Performance Mode?
Rockstar has not confirmed whether GTA 6 will run at 60 FPS. A single source close to the studio claims PS5 and Xbox Series X will get two modes, one at 30 FPS and one at 60 FPS, but that report is unconfirmed and the game launches November 19, 2026.

What has been reported about GTA 6 frame rate
- Two graphics modes: a source speaking on the Polish podcast Rock and Borys said PS5 and Xbox Series X would offer a 30 FPS mode and a 60 FPS mode.
- Single source: the host stressed this came from one reliable source, not several.
- Xbox Series S: reportedly locked to 30 FPS for now, with work ongoing to improve it.
- Not guaranteed at launch: the source was not fully sure 60 FPS would be ready on day one.
What the trailers suggest
Rockstar has said the second trailer was captured on a standard PS5, and the cutscenes in it run at 60 FPS. That gives fans hope, but a trailer is not the full game. Large open-world games often fail to hold 60 FPS during real play, so footage alone proves little.
What Rockstar has not confirmed
- Any frame-rate target for any console
- Whether a performance mode exists
- Resolution or ray tracing settings per mode
- How the game runs on PS5 Pro compared with the base PS5
Why 60 FPS is hard for GTA 6
GTA 6 is a huge open world with dense crowds, detailed traffic and heavy lighting. Running that at 60 frames per second usually means lowering resolution or trimming effects such as ray tracing, which is why a quality mode and a performance mode are common in big console games. How big that trade-off will be here is unknown. To see what the game is aiming for visually, read our breakdown of why GTA 6 looks so realistic.
Is there a PC version?
No. GTA 6 is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Rockstar has not announced a PC version, so PC frame rates are not part of this discussion yet. See our GTA 6 release date guide for the platform details.
