GTA 6 Xbox box reportedly lists Dolby Vision, Atmos
Updated
A photo of the Xbox Series X|S box points to Dolby Vision and Atmos, while PS5 would stay on HDR10, according to Madrid Actual and Hardware Premium.
GTA 6 would ship with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on Xbox Series X|S according to its box, so on a compatible TV you'd get a more precise picture than PS5's HDR10. Data miner @videotech said so on November 9, and Rockstar hasn't confirmed it.

The two AMD files now have names: amd_fidelityfx_loader_xbox.dll and amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_xbox.dll, found in the GTA VI preload files for Xbox. Fanáticos del Hardware credits the find to researcher Tex2. Users Y1ng and blue nugroho later pointed out that those names match the FSR 4.1.2 integration samples for the Xbox development kit.
What has not changed: the contents could not be fully analysed, the names do not settle the version, and nobody has shown the libraries run during play. Rockstar has not announced FSR 4.1.2 support either.
Rockstar Games has shown footage recorded on PlayStation 5, but it hasn't detailed which picture and sound formats each console supports. What's official about the game is the November 19 release date and the two platforms, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A box back cover has now stirred things up.
Will GTA 6 have Dolby Vision on Xbox Series?
The Xbox box reportedly says so, though nobody has confirmed it.

Hardware Premium, a tech site, describes the back: Dolby Vision and Atmos logos next to an HDR10 seal, English and French text, the single player mode and the Xbox Series optimization.

Dolby Vision and Atmos, explained
Dolby Vision is an HDR format with dynamic metadata that adjusts brightness and color scene by scene, per Madrid Actual.
Dolby Vision is an HDR format with dynamic metadata that adjusts brightness and color scene by scene, per Madrid Actual. You need a compatible TV or monitor and the feature switched on in Xbox settings. In a game of neon, dark interiors and midday sun in Vice City, that's where you'd notice it.
Dolby Atmos places gunshots, helicopters, traffic and footsteps in space. It needs compatible audio gear or the Atmos for Headphones option, which may require a specific license that can cost extra, according to Hardware Premium.
What would Xbox have over PS5?
Dolby Vision, according to Madrid Actual, which says the PS5 version stays on HDR10.
Dolby Vision, according to Madrid Actual, which says the PS5 version stays on HDR10. Atmos isn't Xbox-only: PS5 supports it through Tempest 3D since an update in September 2023.
| Aspect | Xbox Series X|S | PS5 |
|---|---|---|
| HDR picture | Dolby Vision and HDR10 seal on the box | HDR10, per Madrid Actual |
| Spatial audio | Dolby Atmos, native on the console | Dolby Atmos via Tempest 3D |
| Console upgrades | Xbox Series optimization on the box | PS5 Pro upgrades, per PlayStation Store |
Madrid Actual adds that, according to Xbox sources, pre-orders are concentrated mostly on PS5.
The box says nothing about 60 FPS
The logos don't tell you anything about performance, resolution or stability.
The logos don't tell you anything about performance, resolution or stability. Hardware Premium notes that 30 FPS was already described as the most likely target days ago. Rob Nelson of Rockstar mentioned a 30 fps console target to VICE on August 28.
There are no independent technical analyses of the final versions either, so a cover can't tell you how the consoles will differ visually.
AMD FSR in the Xbox files
Hardware Premium reports that a community analysis found references to AMD FSR in the Xbox version's files.
Hardware Premium reports that a community analysis found references to AMD FSR in the Xbox version's files. The metadata doesn't reveal the version or whether it's ever switched on.
Microsoft and AMD confirmed on November 4 that FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 is in the Xbox development kit, in Full INT8 and Lite INT8 variants. A library can belong to tools or to code that never runs during play.
