GTA 6 without 60 FPS or PS5 Pro: experts warn of what awaits us
The technical performance of GTA 6 is back at the heart of the discussion. According to Diario AS, several industry experts and analysts agree on a conclusion that may disappoint more than one player: the highly anticipated Rockstar Games title will not reach 60 frames per second on any console version, not even on the powerful PlayStation 5 Pro. A news that arrives months before the launch and that is already generating a huge controversy in the community.
But why does this data matter so much? 60 FPS has become in recent years a quality standard that many players consider non-negotiable, especially in open-world action titles. If the previous analyses of these specialists are correct, Rockstar would be prioritizing visual fidelity and the scale of the world over fluidity, a risky bet it already made with Red Dead Redemption 2. In that case the decision was forgiven thanks to the quality of the game, but the expectations with GTA 6 are even higher and the public pressure is too. We must remember, however, that for now they are external assessments: Rockstar has neither confirmed nor denied anything in this regard.
The context of GTA 6 makes it all news. Rockstar officially confirmed that the game will arrive on November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The adventure will take us to Vice City and the state of Leonida, with two protagonists for the first time in the saga: Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval. Since the first trailer was released, the buzz has only grown, with the second official video breaking all-time records for views on YouTube, making it clear that GTA 6 is, without exaggeration, the most anticipated release in the history of video games. With such pressure on top, every technical detail is analyzed with a magnifying glass.
So what can we really expect? Most likely, Rockstar will offer different graphic modes, as is already usual in the industry: one oriented to performance and another to visual quality. If the performance mode also does not achieve the stable 60 FPS, we will be facing a major limitation that will have to be assumed. That said, if there is a study capable of justifying that technical sacrifice with an experience that leaves you speechless, that is Rockstar. There's more than a year to go until launch, so there's room for surprises. We'll be keeping a close eye on any official updates.
