The PS5 Pro speaks have been scrutinised by Digital Foundry’s Rich Leadbetter, who has revealed that it is likely Grand Theft Auto 6 will run at 30 FPS on the as-yet unannounced console, not 60 FPS as many would have probably hoped for.
In case you missed it, the PS5 Pro CPU is not expected to offer a major advantage over the existing version of the console, instead featuring a High CPU Frequency Mode that allows for a 10% increase in performance. This, says Leadbetter, means that GTA 6 is unlikely to run at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro.

Speaking in the latest episode of DF Direct, the analyst revealed that if GTA 6 performs at 30 FPS on the PS5, then it’ll perform at the same frame rate on the PS5 Pro. However, he notes that if in the unlikely event that GTA 6 has a 60 FPS mode for PS5, then the PS5 Pro will also run the game at that speed.
While on the topic of the PS5 Pro’s reported CPU performance, it has been suggested that the limited increase over the standard model is due to the console being manufactured with PS6 backwards compatibility in mind.
The PS5 Pro is hotly tipped to launch in November 2024 and is known internally as Project Trinity.
