PS5 Pro May Be Only Console to Run GTA 6 at 60fps, New Leak Suggests
A credible new report indicates Grand Theft Auto VI is achieving stable 60fps performance on PlayStation 5 Pro development kits, with Sony engineers actively assisting optimization efforts. According to YouTuber DetectiveSeeds (who accurately leaked Oblivion Remaster and Doom: The Dark Ages), the base PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions haven’t yet locked in the target framerate ten months before launch.
The Leaked Details
Sources claim PlayStation engineers are embedded with Rockstar to optimize for the PS5 Pro’s advanced hardware, targeting a “May 2026” release window. The insider reports: “GTA 6 has been hitting 60fps on PS5 Pro across multiple graphical settings… This could change before release.” If accurate, the Pro version would offer performance/visuals toggle options similar to recent first-party Sony titles.
Why PS5 Pro Has the Edge
The collaboration leverages Sony’s technical expertise with their upcoming hardware, potentially explaining the performance gap:
- Custom RDNA 4 architecture with improved ray tracing
- AI-powered PSSR upscaling technology
- Higher GPU clock speeds (rumored 2.35 GHz vs 2.23GHz in base PS5)
This aligns with Sony’s Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro partnership precedent.
Marketing Deal Implications
The report also confirms an exclusive Sony marketing agreement, meaning:
- PlayStation branding priority in trailers
- PS5 Pro bundle announcements near launch
- Potential early access or bonus content
Base console players may face 30fps caps or variable performance based on current leaks.

Important Caveats
While DetectiveSeeds’ source accurately predicted Bethesda remasters, Rockstar hasn’t confirmed:
- Final framerate targets for any platform
- PS5 Pro hardware specifications
- Optimization partnerships
Performance could improve across all platforms before May 2026.
