GTA 6 will run at 60 FPS on PS5 Pro as Sony engineers are helping Rockstar in development – NotebookCheck.net News
Sony and Rockstar seem to have a marketing deal in place that is enabling collaboration of engineers on both sides. This is said to culminate in 60 FPS support for GTA 6 on the PS5 Pro.
It was recently reported that Sony is preparing a software update for May 2026 to coincide with the release of GTA 6. Building on this is the latest piece of information that comes from the same leaker and it claims that the game will run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro thanks to the collaboration between Rockstar and Sony engineers.
Leaker Detective Seeds cited a PlayStation engineer and said that PlayStation engineers and Rockstar are working together as part of the marketing deal. This collaboration is to get GTA 6 running at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro. The game is said to have multiple graphical settings and it will run at 60 FPS on all of them. For now, it looks like this will only be possible on the PS5 Pro and not the base PS5.
Furthermore, this collaboration might also enable 60 FPS gameplay for other Rockstar titles that are releasing in the near future. No information has been given on what these titles might be. In addition to frame rate improvements, the marketing deal is said to bring several GTA 6 and PS bundles.
As mentioned earlier, the same leaker had previously shared that a major update for the PS5 Pro was underway with a release target of May 2026. Fans started speculating that this could be a potential 60 FPS update for GTA 6. The game is releasing on May 26, 2026 so it could be a day one update or a standard firmware update released ahead of the games launch.
Notably, Sony has not shared any information on an upcoming update. It should also be noted that up till now, most Rockstar Games have been capped at 30 FPS at release, but some have received updates to enable 60 FPS gameplay on newer consoles years after launch (GTA V runs at 1440p/60 FPS on PS5 Pro). The GTA 6 Trailer 2 that was captured on a base PS5 was also capped at 30 FPS.
