- Sony and Rockstar collaborate to optimize GTA 6 on PS5 Pro
- Rumors suggest GTA 6 will hit 60 FPS on PS5 Pro, but it's not officially confirmed.
- The PS5 Pro would have several exclusive graphics modes, taking advantage of technologies such as PSSR
- The standard PS5 version would still be limited to 30 FPS, although surprises are not ruled out.
The launch of GTA 6 generates unprecedented expectation, and a good part of that excitement revolves around its performance on PS5 Pro. Over the past few months, numerous rumors and leaks have circulated that point to a joint effort between Sony and Rockstar to get the most out of the most powerful console in the PlayStation family. Some users and leakers with a certain degree of prestige in the industry have provided details that, if confirmed, could change the gaming experience on next-generation consoles.
Will players be able to enjoy 60 frames per second on the PS5 ProWill that be the big difference compared to the standard PS5? In this article, we delve into the most relevant information and break down the technical possibilities that Rockstar's new release could offer on Sony's console.
Sony and Rockstar Collaboration: In-depth Optimization
Various leaks agree that Sony and Rockstar are working hand in hand to ensure that GTA 6 runs optimally on PS5 ProOne of the most talked-about leakers, Detective Seeds, has pointed out that PlayStation engineers themselves are actively involved in the optimization process, a collaboration that goes beyond the usual marketing agreement between the two companies. The goal would be to get the most out of the technical capabilities of the PS5 Pro. so that the game reaches the desired 60 FPS and offers different unique graphic modes in this version.
According to these same sources, the system update that will allow you to get the most out of GTA 6 on PS5 Pro would arrive just in May 2026, coinciding with the game's launch, which reinforces the idea of a coordinated strategy to put the console in the spotlight of all fans of the series.
What will be the difference from the standard PS5?
Leaked information suggests that Advanced graphics modes and 60 FPS would be, at least at the time of release, reserved for the PS5 ProThe base version of the console is expected to maintain a frame rate of 30 FPS, similar to what has been seen in the official GTA 6 trailers released to date, which were captured on a standard PS5 running at that frame rate.
However, some rumors leave the door open to the possibility that, if optimization progresses adequately or through future updates, the standard version could also benefit from performance improvements. Everything points, however, to the fact that the The key difference will be the extra power of the CPU and GPU in the PS5 Pro., which together with the PSSR intelligent rescaling technology (similar to DLSS on PC), would allow reaching 60 FPS even in complex scenarios and at high resolutions.
PS5 Pro features a Zen 2-based processor that reaches up to 3,85 GHz, compared to 3,5 GHz on the base PS5. That increase in frequency, although on paper it may seem modest, can make a difference when each core counts for the calculation of physics, artificial intelligence and other systems typical of an open world as populated as that of GTA 6. In addition, the GPU and memory of the Pro have been reinforced, which facilitates the use of New graphics modes such as performance (60 FPS) and quality (higher resolution at 30 FPS) exclusively in that variant.
Rumors about exclusive bundles and marketing strategies
Aside from the technical aspect, several voices suggest that Sony could launch special editions of the console along with GTA 6There would be bundles that would include the PS5 Pro, custom controllers, and the game pre-installed, taking advantage of the hype to boost sales and strengthen the console's positioning against the competition.
This type of marketing strategy isn't new, but it could gain particular relevance if it's finally confirmed that the highest performance is only available on the PS5 Pro. In the absence of official confirmation, the most demanding gamers are keeping an eye on the moves made by Rockstar and Sony, who could surprise with announcements of limited editions or incentives for joint purchases.
Are there any doubts about technical feasibility?
Tech experts and media have pointed out that despite the PS5 Pro's increased power, The CPU bottleneck could remain a limiting factor, especially in titles with open worlds packed with NPCs and real-time dynamics. Analysis of other recent games has shown that while the GPU can handle the most advanced graphics and visual effects, the CPU is often the most stressed component when it comes to maintaining stable frame rates in complex situations.
In any case, the incorporation of technologies such as PSSR would allow Reduce the game's internal resolution to 864p and then upscale it to 4K, which lightens the graphical load and could free up resources to achieve 60 FPS. This type of technique has been seen in other recent releases, so the strategy isn't far-fetched.
Expectations regarding graphics modes and performance are still in the rumor phase, and Official confirmations could arrive in the coming monthsUntil then, fans should continue to monitor news from Rockstar and Sony for final details and to assess whether the PS5 Pro will justify its purchase for fans of the saga.
