Rockstar Sets GTA VI at 30 FPS on Consoles at Launch

Rockstar Games says Grand Theft Auto VI will target 30 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S when it launches November 19, with no 60 FPS mode announced. The studio says the target is intended to preserve the density of the game’s world and its visual detail while pushing the consoles’ hardware. The game has not yet launched, and Rockstar has not said whether the frame-rate target could change.

Rockstar also outlined features for Sony’s consoles.
