GTA 6 Could Launch at 30fps on PS5 as Rockstar Weighs a 60fps Mode

Lead developer and co-director Rob Nelson said the team still needs to decide whether 60fps will be available at launch or added later.

Grand Theft Auto VI is currently targeting 30 frames per second on PS5, while Rockstar has not decided whether a separate 60fps Performance Mode will be available at launch or added later.

The current 30fps target reportedly applies across all consoles. For now, that is the only frame-rate target Rockstar has publicly described, leaving the possibility of a faster option unresolved.

Rob Nelson left the door open

YouTuber Davy Jones relayed the details after visiting Rockstar’s Edinburgh offices alongside other influencers. During that visit, lead developer and co-director Rob Nelson reportedly confirmed the 30fps target.

Nelson also left room for a later change, saying he would need “to consult the technical team to determine if there will be a 60fps option at launch or later.” That wording suggests Rockstar has not locked down the final performance setup for the game.

A 60fps option could still be ready for launch, or it could arrive in a later update. Until Rockstar makes that decision public, PS5 players should view 30fps as the working target rather than a final promise about every mode.

The current release plan still points to November 19, 2026, and Take-Two’s launch buildup has not been presented as a schedule change.
