After having to wait the longest period ever for a new Grand Theft Auto title, fans will finally get their hands on GTA 6 next year. The much-anticipated sequel will be released on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles in the fall of 2025, as confirmed by Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive. However, there seems to be a slight concern regarding its possible performance on current-gen consoles.
A recent Reddit post by u/Affectionate-Plan270 asked what fans would accept the lowest frame rate in the upcoming title on consoles. The individual that made the post thinks 45 FPS would make the game playable.

Responding to the post, u/MeepersOfficial stated that they would prefer 30 FPS at the highest graphics setting, along with an option for a 60 FPS performance mode. Here's what they said:
"30 on highest graphics. A 60 performance mode will be great for people who despise 30 FPS."
What's interesting is that Grand Theft Auto 5's PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version, aka the Expanded and Enhanced edition, includes such options. This version offers a Fidelity Mode, which delivers the best visual effects, but at 30 FPS. Moreover, this edition has a Performance Mode that offers 60 FPS.
It wouldn't be surprising if these options return in the upcoming title; however, u/flipside-grant believes that both options cannot exist at the same time in the sequel. According to them, a console CPU would be incapable of delivering 60 FPS if Grand Theft Auto 6 had a high NPC density with multiple background processes running.
Interestingly, there were quite a few who agreed with this opinion. One individual, as can be seen in the image below, noted that the PS6 might see a 60 FPS performance mode in GTA 6.
Other fans were torn between 30 and 60 FPS in terms of what they'd accept as decent framerates in the upcoming title. Some think the former mark is more probable, whereas others think 30 FPS isn't decent enough.
As of this writing, Rockstar Games is yet to announce the official performance statistics of GTA 6 on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. But what's interesting is that one employee at this company reportedly expressed confidence in this title running at 60 FPS on the PlayStation console.
Rockstar reportedly confident of GTA 6 running at 60 fps on PS5
Earlier this year, Rockstar Games' Senior Material Artist, Hailin Si, reportedly suggested Grand Theft Auto 6 could run at 60 FPS on the PS5. This has now apparently been deleted, but screenshots of it still exist online, as can be seen above.
Although the comment builds optimism, it should be remembered that this is still unconfirmed information. Rumors such as this or the GTA 6 price tag are pretty common. As such, readers must only believe information coming directly from Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.
The latter will host an earnings call next month (August 2024), and more details about Grand Theft Auto 6 might be revealed around that event.
