Rockstar Games’ upcoming blockbuster, GTA 6, is easily the most anticipated video game of the decade. With its official release confirmed for May 26, 2026, fans are buzzing about every new leak—and the latest one has stirred fresh debate: GTA 6 could run at 60FPS on the PS5 Pro.
While that might sound like a reason to upgrade, here’s why current-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are still solid choices for playing the game.
🎮 GTA 6 on PS5 Pro: What the Leak Says
A popular gaming YouTuber, DetectiveSeeds, claims that GTA 6 will support 60FPS on the upcoming PS5 Pro. That’s a big deal, considering previous GTA titles have been capped at 30FPS on PS5 and Xbox consoles.
But before you rush to sell your console, here’s what you need to know.
⚙️ Can PS5 and Xbox Series X|S Run GTA 6 Smoothly?
While older GTA titles on PS5 ran at 30FPS, that doesn't mean the console can’t handle more demanding titles at higher frame rates. Many popular games like Diablo IV, Persona 5 Royal, and Astro Bot run smoothly at 60FPS on the PS5.
However, thermal limitations could be a bottleneck for GTA 6. Reports from games like Death Stranding 2 suggest heating issues, especially when accessing resource-heavy in-game features like the map. A similar concern may apply to GTA 6, making 60FPS difficult to maintain without triggering thermal throttling.
📉 What About Xbox Series X|S?
The Xbox Series X|S is also expected to run GTA 6 at 30FPS, based on current-gen performance trends and system architecture. Much like the PS5, the challenge is not processing power—but keeping the console cool during extended gameplay.
🇮🇳 Why PS5 Pro Might Not Be an Option in India
Unfortunately, the PS5 Pro has not been officially launched in India. Even if gamers import the device via third-party sellers, they may face performance bottlenecks due to missing Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure, which the console relies on for optimal performance.
🕹️ Should You Upgrade?
Not necessarily. GTA 6 will likely run just fine at 30FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, offering a rich and immersive experience. Unless you're a hardcore frame-rate purist or want the absolute best visuals and performance, upgrading to the PS5 Pro may not be essential.
🖥️ Or You Can Wait for the PC Version
If 60FPS is non-negotiable for you, waiting for the PC release might be the best bet. Rockstar typically launches PC versions of GTA games around two years after the console release, giving you time to build a setup worthy of GTA 6.
