Like proper starving gamers, we’ve all been looking for crumbs leading to anything GTA 6-related, and today, Rockstar Games delivered something that has satiated many of us. Beyond everyone being able to pre-load the game right now, which is something you should all be doing, as it requires 200 GB, we now know some of the features GTA 6 is bringing to PS5, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. While all of them look fantastic, you may want to hold off on that preview, as the experience may vary depending on the platform.
GTA 6 Confirmed to Run at 30 FPS on All Platforms
Today, Rockstar Games shared a new post on its Newswire, detailing some of the features of GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, as well as announcing that pre-loading is available now.
For starters, and this applies to all platforms, the framerate will be capped at 30, regardless of where you play. While this has caused a bit of backlash, it seems it is only a vocal minority, as many prefer a steady 30 FPS to the game attempting to reach 60 and face visual bugs or crashes, which we’ve seen in other open-world titles.
As for what to expect on each console, PS5 Pro seems to be the big winner here. According to the post, it will get PSSR support and enhanced ray tracing features. For the base PS5, Rockstar Games confirmed some of the usual features: haptic feedback, 3D audio, and faster loading times.
However, Xbox isn’t far behind, as the post mentioned GTA 6 will be available on Xbox Cloud Gaming at launch. Those with an Xbox One console will be able to experience it through the Cloud Gaming service with the Xbox Series S graphical settings, which is a huge surprise for those who don’t own a current-gen console.
Gamers Don’t Care About the 30 FPS Target, They Just Want to Play
While the framerate topic has been quite controversial in several other titles in the past, many gamers seem more lenient when it comes to GTA 6 on PS5 and Xbox, and with good reason. We already saw the extended gameplay footage, and despite the framerate hitting 30 FPS, it looked stunning.
Plus, with how other titles have compromised their visuals to deliver 60 FPS gameplay, this time around, players prefer fewer frames if that lets them see Vice City in all its splendor.
Fortunately, we won’t have to wait long to experience all of that because GTA 6 is just right around the corner. So, if you’ve secured your pre-order already, remember to start that pre-load and set your alarms because the long-awaited release date is almost here.
