Detective Seeds claimed thatGTA 6continuously hits 60 FPS while being optimized for the PS5 Pro on multiple graphical settings, and that engineers from PlayStation are helping to implement the tech to optimize the game before launch.

New Rumor Indicates GTA 6 Could Run at 60 FPS on PS5 Pro

Detective Seeds is not a major leaker with a long track record, so gamers should take their claims with a grain of salt. Also, the information they shared contradictsprevious rumors aboutGrand Theft Auto 6on PS5 Pro. Last year, it was rumored thatGTA 6’s massive world would push Sony’s console’s CPU too hard, which would make 60 FPS impossible even on the powerful PS5 Pro.

Gamers should be aware, however, that the optimization ofGTA 6may improve until the launch, so anything is possible. New reports indicate thatGTA 6’s marketing could likely ramp up soon, so it’s possible that it won’t be long until gamers can confirm this rumor from official sources.

When it’s finally released,GTA 6will likely be one of the most popular games of all time, so many eager console players are hoping to run the long-awaited title at 60 FPS. According to a recent prediction,Grand Theft Auto 6could be the biggest game launch ever, making $7.6 billion within its first 60 days on the market. The report also stated that the base game will likely cost $80, moving in line with recent price increases in the industry. While this isn’t ideal for many gamers, the title’s popularity may be enough to convince fence sitters to shell out the cash.
