GTA 6 on consoles: resolution, frame rate and graphics on PS5, Series X|S and PS5 Pro

Grand Theft Auto VI, which is expected to be released in 2025, will be demanding on hardware. Despite the lack of official technical data, the characteristics of current and future consoles can be predicted, what modes will gta 6 work on xbox series s, series x, ps5 and ps5 proBelow is a detailed comparison.

On the Xbox series s the game will be severely cut in all parameters. The console, having only 10 GB of total memory, cannot cope with high graphic loads. Most likely, only one mode will be available:

• Resolution: dynamic 480p–720p

• Upscale: up to 1080p

• Frame rate: 30FPS

• Graphics: heavily reduced textures, lighting and object density

• Ray tracing: missing
  GTA 6 on Series S will look noticeably worse than on all other platforms, and will be one of the most limited versions.

On the Xbox Series X two modes are expected. The console has 12 TF GPU and 16 GB of memory, which will help maintain a balance between quality and performance:

• Performance Mode:

  • 1080p resolution

  • Upscale to 1440p

  • 60 FPS

  • Moderate graphics settings

• Quality mode:

  • 1440p resolution

  • Upscale to 4K

  • 30 FPS

  • High textures, lighting, weather effects
    In this case, Series X can show slightly more stable FPS in dynamic scenesthan PS5 due to its wider GPU-block and better cooling.

On the PlayStation 5 The parameters are almost identical to the Series X, but with different priorities in upscaling and stabilization:

• Performance Mode:

  • 1080p resolution

  • Upscale to 1440p

  • 60 FPS

  • Balanced lighting and detail

• Quality mode:

  • 1440p resolution

  • Upscale to 4K

  • 30 FPS

  • Increased reflection settings, global illumination, traffic density
    PS5 will use aggressive temporal upscaling and may offer slightly better image clarity in 30 FPS mode, especially in dark scenes.

The main differences between PlayStation 5 Pro - she will become the only console with 120 FPS support:

• Performance Mode:

  • 1080p resolution

  • Upscale to 1440p

  • Up to 120 FPS

  • Reduced post-processing for high frame rates

• Balanced mode:

  • 1440p resolution

  • Upscale to 4K

  • 60 FPS

  • A compromise between clarity and stability

• Quality mode:

  • Resolution 2160p (4K)

  • 30 FPS

  • Max settings: dense shadows, RT lighting, far rendering
    Due to the increased GPU-profile and fast memory PS5 Pro will provide the most stable picture among all platforms, especially at high resolutions and with ray tracing.

Rockstar has yet to reveal specific rendering parameters., but in light of the upcoming release, we can already assume that GTA 6 will be one of the most resource-intensive games of the generation. And the more powerful the console, the closer the picture will be to the promised trailers.

Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will be released 26 May 2026 years on PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series X | S.
