GTA 6 capped at 30fps on PS5; fans split over stability vs. frame rate: 'It doesn't bother as long as it's stable like RDR2'
GTA 6 is one of the most eagerly awaited games, scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Recently, the Take-Two Interactive CEO promised the game to take you back to the neon-soaked streets of Leoninda. The game map is designed in such a way that the players will get an opportunity to explore the wild, open world of GTA 6. After rumours of a 30 fps GTA 6 swirled in the past, now GTA 6 fans would love to play such a big game at 60 fps on their PS5 console; however, as of now, according to the experts, GTA 6 will be capped at 30 fps on PS5 consoles. GTA 6 Capped at 30 fps on PS5 According to PC Quest, the game setup includes crime, drugs, robbery and reckless car driving angles, driven by a unique storyline. Although Rockstar Games has shared two trailers and over seventy screenshots, details about the gameplay remain largely under wraps, keeping fans buzzing with anticipation. Recently, the Take-Two CEO, confirming the release date with high conviction, made the situation better for the fans. However, the hype for the game has not died. Fans react to GTA 6 being capped at 30 fps on PS5 These days, gamers often expect high frame rates, sometimes nearing 100 FPS, but it's important to remember that GTA VI is one of the most ambitious games ever made. Rockstar's attention to detail is extraordinary, likely exceeding expectations. Instead of reacting prematurely, it's best to wait and see Rockstar's final decision. Fans react to GTA 6 being capped at 30 fps on PS5 by saying, "It doesn't bother me as long as it's stable and smooth like RDR2." "According to Rockstar's track record, we have nothing to worry about the game's performance. We're in for a sweet surprise," another said. One asked, "GTA 4 performance wasn't great; it was an unstable 30 fps. All others have been 30fps. What's the sweet surprise you're talking about?" "GTA 4 was released in 2008, over 15 years ago. RDR2 was released in 2018, 30fps and still one of the best graphics on a game I've ever seen apart from ghost of tsushima and detroit become human." "BUT, 30fps. It looks good, doesnt feel good brother." "As long as its a consistent 30fps in most scenarios."
