Can GTA 6 get performance mode in the future?
Rockstar Games has not confirmed the final performance target for the game. Previous reports and rumors suggested that the game might launch with quality and performance modes.
But now, the latest reports clearly indicate that a 30 FPS launch at release is what they are targeting, pretty similar to how Red Dead Redemption 2 debuted on consoles.
Maybe in future updates, we might get a performance mode with 60 FPS.
The PS5 Pro is also still a big unknown. While the PS5’s upgraded console will pack in much more graphical power than the standard console, there’s no word yet on whether the console will run GTA 6 in 60 FPS mode on launch day.
