i guess so, so rockstar could sell the game again at 60 fps for ps6.

 

[Bojji]

Not on my PC it wont..

But when? 6 months wait after console versions at least (1 year probably).

PS6 or PC version - which one will launch first?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Us when we finally get to play it

 

[SmokSmog]

PS5/PRO/Series X/S have mobile Zen2 with only 4MB L3 per 4 core cluster, yes only 4MB. For example 6 core Zen3 Ryzen 5 5600 has 32MB L3 available to all 6 cores.

 

[onQ123]

We barely have any games this generation that's locked to 30 fps only . More than likely we will have a 40 or 60fps option also

 

[HRK69]

And it's going to be absolutely glorious

 

[mèx]

Imagine playing at 30 FPS in 2026. Embarassing.

 

[bighugeguns]

GTA at 30fps is horrible.

 

[TheHellenicGuy]

... and you guys will accept that cause it's GTA.
If it were a different game w/ different game company though...

 

[FutureMD]

That's good though, since GTA 7 won't be out for at least a decade, 6 will at least look decent for quite some time and you always have the option to get it on PC.

 

[Xtib81]

Give how these mofos even refuse to release a 60fps patch of rdr2, I doubt they'll bother with gta6.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Gross. Better not be 30fps on Pro that would be sad.

 

[Jam Dingo]

The Witcher 4 is a massive open world game with astonishing graphics, RT, amazing simulation etc, and that's targeting 60fps on a PS5, so until proven otherwise I'm not going to give up on GTA 6 having a performance mode just because those idiots at Digital Foundry say it's impossible.

We had few CPU heavy games that were 30/40fps locked like Starfield and PT Requiem. Both of them later got patches with CPU optimizations/cuts (PT only) and unlocked framerate.

GTA type game will be more CPU heavy than fantasy setting in the witcher (lots of npcs, heavy traffic etc.). I wonder how TW4 will run in city like Novigrad but rest of the games should be smooth sailing for current gen consoles when it comes to CPU stuff.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Ever since GTA 6 was shown I was longing 60fps mode. I struggle so much playing anything at 30fps now and I'm craving playing this game.

I struggle with the amount of tech going into this just how they are going to hit 30fps, let alone anything higher. The CPU is going to be pushed to its limits. The Xbox series S and PS5 CPU's aren't really that much different. Even on the pro, we may get some enhanced visuals only.

I also think Rockstar see no benefit of doing a 60fps mode when they can resell the game later.

I'm not sure if I can hold off for a next gen version so may just have to lump it.

Thoughts?

All GTA were 30fps ish on consoles except GTA5 which was 60fps on Zen 2 consoles. Logically GTA6 should be 60fps too.

Will easily wait for the 60 fps version... fomo is for children

You are talking about PS3 GTA game running on PS5... All 3D GTA games WHEN NEW were unstable 30fps on consoles. GTA5 port on PS4 was first stable 30fps GTA game.

 

[Represent.]

And it wouldn't look nearly as good as it does at 60fps. You would have to be an insane framerate warrior to want them to downgrade and ugly up the most expensive and ambitious game of all time just to hit a framerate on consoles.

 

[MayauMiao]

pc gamers entering the thread

Yeah, you need to be royally rich to be a PC gamer nowadays.

 

[Bernardougf]

And it wouldn't run and play nearly as good as 60 fps, you would have to be an insane graphical whore to want them to make you play this expensive and ambitious game at locked 30 fps just so you have some more pretty lights and puddle reflexes...


Opinions how do they work... tag always checks out

If the ps6 really is delayed probably PC.

 

[Radical_3d]

Their latest release was RDR2 that was very solid 30fps (not locked on PS4/X1 but still pretty good). So locked 30 is a given on PS5, I secretly hope for 40fps mode on Pro...

And fear a 60fps mode on the Pro

 

[Fess]

They will maximize the double dipping.

2026:
Current gen console release
30fps on PS5/XSX
40fps on PS5 Pro

2027:
Next gen console release
60fps on PS6/Xbox Magnus

2028:
PC release

2029:
Nintendo release
Switch 2, low res 30fps

2030:
Next gen handheld release
PS6 Portable

2031:
Ray-Tracing definitive edition
Next gen consoles, 30fps

2032:
Path-Traced definitive edition
PC

2034:
Path Traced Ultimate release
PS7/PC, 60+ fps

 

[Jormatar]

40fps and I'm fine since GTA games aren't really known for their fast paced action.

There is slight hope for 60fps if they really work on a performance mode. They must have the data about how the vast majority of people choose performance mode over fidelity mode if possible. And since people have gotten used to playing only 60fps games for a few years now, they must realize people will be mad and bitch about performance/lag etc if they are forced to 30fps slop.

Then again 60fps version for PS6/PC version must be something they know would make bank with people double dipping.

 

[Tunned]

I wish that all my problems were as simple as "oh no GTAVI is not going to be a 60fps game on consoles!" I got much bigger fish to fry in my life. That and I played 100 hours of GTAV on PS3, so I could not give a fudge.

 

[Stafford]

I would be okay with that because for a while now I notice how I always opt for quality mode, since I still find the visual difference too big. Recently with Alan Wake 2, Mafia ToC, I had to with KCD1 and I did for the demo of KCD2 and will do for the full game as well.

I've always been able to easily switch between 60fps and 30fps. Ideally I have a sick ass PC and can just play it all at the most crazy settings but my PC days are long over.

 

[damidu]

nah don't bet on it.
we were also supposed to be back to 30fps on consoles for years by now, according to df big brains and their parrots around here.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Consoles?

 

[Seomel]

I do think sony will push them for 60fps or at least extra mod eon ps5 pro due to marketing rights. I know Rockstar wont do it, but I really wish more devs left option for unlocked fps like nioh, i famlus etc did. You just boot them on better hw and get solid 60. Thats futureproofing for ya

 

[Baemono]

For sure

 

[Bojji]

And fear a 60fps mode on the Pro

What? I intend to play the game on Pro...

Reality is, they don't have to lock anything, locking the framerate obsession is about 60Hz displays. They can leave option for 120Hz users - unlocked with VRR and LFC. Game can run 30-120fps and it will be way smoother than with dreadful 30fps lock...

 

[Hohenheim]

Ain't touching this until the PC version is out.

 

[winjer]

And this i why it's better to wait a bit for the PC version.

 

[Little Mac]

If the PS5 Pro runs GTA6 at only 30fps, it will have been the worst console purchase of my life.

 

[StueyDuck]

Is it ideal? No

Am I fine with it? Yes

 

[bighugeguns]

If the PS5 Pro runs GTA6 at only 30fps, it will have been the worst console purchase of my life.

It's still a legit awesome console.

I expect there to be a performance/fidelity mode, lots of the big modern games do that.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Good. Push the hardware to its limits at 30fps, leaving room to increase frame rates on future hardware and PC.

 

[owandeseis]

I think at least PS5 Pro will have a 60 FPS version, specially if they have a marketing deal with Sony, but i'd bet PS5 will have it too.

GTA is CPU heavy but the game is easily scalable, it's the amount of pedestrians and cars that make it so heavy, they can perfectly tone it down as hard as they want, if i recall correctly CDProjekt did the same with Cyberpunk?

 

[peish]

ultra preset will 70-90fps on PC, 120-180fps with Nvidia MFG.

base consoles will be 25-40fps with performance preset

ps5 pro will be 25-60fps unlock mode

 

[Forsete]

4K 120 fps, 8K 60 fps with PSSR2.

 

[Baemono]

We barely have any games this generation that's locked to 30 fps only . More than likely we will have a 40 or 60fps option also

Indeed, the only games I recall having only 30fps at launch were Redfall, Hellblade 2, Starfield and Alan Wake 2

 

[Little Mac]

It's still a legit awesome console.

I expect there to be a performance/fidelity mode, lots of the big modern games do that.

It is a great console that isn't being utilized to its potential by 3rd party developers and Sony's own first party output has been fairly underwhelming this generation. Upgrading from the Slim to the Pro hasn't been worth it imo. Hoping GTA6 and some of Sony's 2026 releases changes that.

None of them were GTA6 lol

60FPS is overrated. IMO
I'd rather games look as good as GTAVI and have as much going on CPU wise than it be wasted on an additional 30FPS.

Take this shot as an example of where CPU power can be better spent:

We have lots of different activities going on at once, NPC's interacting with one another (old man staring at the topless sunbather), there's a woman jogging in the background, a coast guard watching the beach and when it pans out you see more beach activities as well.

Creating a living world is sacrificed for devs striving for 60FPS or higher.

It's a waste.

Well if mark cerny is to be believed your opinion is not the majority since the perfomance is the most chosen mode by a large margin... but none the less is a valid one even if I completely disagree

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

I'm here for the 30fps. Gimme all the bells and whistles now. I'll take 60fps on PS6.

Making a 30fps game on PS5 future proofs the game in a way.

I edited to add more detail.

 

[jm89]

Probably.

But there are ways of not making it completely dogshit at 30fps. Like excessive use of motion blur.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Imagine playing at 30 FPS in 2026. Embarassing.

No way I'm playing GTA VI first at 30fps.
