GTA 6 might be getting a major performance boost - but only for a specific group of players. New leaks circulating online suggest Rockstar Games is working with Sony to bring 60 frames per second gameplay to the upcoming open-world title, but only on the yet-to-be-released PlayStation 5 Pro.
So far, all official GTA 6 trailers and gameplay footage have shown the game running on the standard PS5 at 30 FPS. But now, a known leaker on X who goes by the handle Detective Seeds claims that Rockstar is targeting 60 FPS across multiple visual presets - and that this upgraded performance will be exclusive to the PS5 Pro.

Rockstar hasn't confirmed any of this, but the idea fits with what we've seen from console refresh cycles. GTA 6 is shaping up to be a massive release, and with more than a decade since GTA V, expectations around performance and visual quality are higher than ever. The leak suggests Rockstar is working to push higher frame rates on newer hardware, which could make GTA 6 one of the smoothest-feeling entries in the series - at least on the right console.
For context, Rockstar's previous major titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V ran at 30 FPS on last-gen hardware. A jump to 60 FPS would mark a significant step forward, especially for a game as detailed and expansive as GTA 6. But this rumored performance bump may be locked behind the PS5 Pro. If true, base PS5 players may only have access to the 30 FPS version seen in the trailers so far.
No official word yet from Rockstar
Right now, Rockstar hasn't shared any technical breakdowns for GTA 6. The studio is staying quiet, with most official communication focused on the game's release date: May 26, 2026. Still, that hasn't stopped the community from speculating - and if these leaks hold up, Sony could be positioning the PS5 Pro as the definitive way to experience GTA 6.
The PS5 Pro has yet to be formally unveiled by Sony, but it's expected to bring hardware upgrades aimed at 4K gaming and higher frame rates. A 60 FPS GTA 6 would certainly help sell the system.
Final thoughts
Until Rockstar confirms more details, everything should be taken with a grain of salt. But the idea of GTA 6 running at 60 FPS (even if limited to PS5 Pro) would be a first for the franchise and could signal a new era of performance expectations for Rockstar's future releases.
With under a year to go until launch, there's still time for more information to surface. For now, fans will have to keep waiting and hoping that GTA 6 will deliver the kind of next-gen leap many have been expecting.
