GTA 6 on PS5 Pro may get a new PSSR 2 and a 40 FPS mode

3DJuegos picks up two more details from Rockstar's announcement that this article did not have. GTA 6 will support Remote Play on both PlayStation and Xbox. It will also reach Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One through Xbox Cloud Gaming, running with the Xbox Series S graphics configuration rather than the Series X one.

According to 3DJuegos, Rockstar has also confirmed that the game has reached gold status, the final build sent to manufacturing.

VidaExtra reports two details from Rockstar's announcement that this article did not cover. Xbox One owners will be able to play GTA 6 through Xbox Cloud Gaming, where their internet connection will affect performance. Haptic feedback, audio rendering and improved loading times also come to the standard PS5, not only the Pro.

The outlet adds that Rockstar presents PS5 as the best place to play the game. The Pro keeps ray tracing as an exclusive feature, and the game launches on 19 November.

Rockstar has stated on its Newswire, with preloading now open, that GTA 6 targets 30 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to Video Games Chronicle, the company says PS5 Pro offers improved clarity through PSSR and ray-traced shadows that only exist on that console.

Push Square adds that there will be no 40 or 60 FPS mode. That contradicts the 40 FPS mode this article reported. Rockstar does not mention PSSR 2 version 13.60 or 120 Hz.

GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Rockstar Games hasn't detailed the graphics modes for either console. The official preload starts on November 12, but it has already begun in New Zealand, according to Wccftech. That's where the first technical clues came from.

Wccftech, a tech and gaming site, explains that preloading has started in New Zealand. The game's encrypted files and metadata are therefore available to users, who can dig for unannounced features.

According to Wccftech, GTAForums user Tex2 pointed out that the game supports a high framerate mode at 120Hz, but without VRR. That keeps a 40 FPS mode on the Pro on the table.

MuyComputer, a Spanish tech outlet, reached the same reading the same day. It points to 120Hz references that fit a possible 40 FPS mode exclusive to PS5 Pro.

PSSR 2 is the AI upscaler on PS5 Pro. Wccftech says the data shows support for version 13.60, compared with the 13.00 version supported by every game so far, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

MuyComputer calls it a minor step up. It says the update could bring small performance gains, or tweaks aimed only at this game's version on that console.

MuyComputer points to the PS5 Pro CPU, which reaches 3.85 GHz at peak. That small bump would make the mode feasible. The 40 FPS would come from the performance mode and cost some graphics quality and resolution.

Wccftech is more careful. The Pro's CPU is only slightly more powerful than the base console's, so a game locked to 30 FPS remains a very real possibility. Rob Nelson of Rockstar told VICE on August 28 that the target on console is 30 fps, without separating models.

If you own a PS5 Pro and a 120Hz screen, you could pick a 40 FPS mode with lower quality and resolution instead of staying at 30 FPS. Without VRR, your screen won't adjust its refresh rate to match the game.

The new PSSR 2 version would affect how sharp the upscaling looks, but nobody knows yet how much it changes from 13.00. That matters for crossing the Leonida map without the image turning soft in motion.

Rockstar hasn't confirmed the 40 FPS mode, PSSR 2 version 13.60 or 120Hz support. It also hasn't published a list of graphics modes per console.

The next clue arrives on November 19, when the game launches and you can open the display options. If you play on a PS5 Pro, check that menu before you start the first mission.

Will GTA 6 have a 40 FPS mode on PS5 Pro?

It's possible, but not confirmed. Wccftech and MuyComputer infer it from the 120Hz references in the preload data, and Rockstar has said nothing.

Which PSSR 2 version will GTA 6 use?

The data shows 13.60, compared with the 13.00 version games have supported so far, per Wccftech. MuyComputer describes it as a minor step.

Will GTA 6 support VRR on PS5 Pro?

According to Tex2, quoted by Wccftech, the game supports a high framerate mode at 120Hz but not VRR. Rockstar hasn't confirmed it.
