Game news The PS5 Pro will not necessarily be the best support for playing GTA 6 according to these specialists…
Lately, rumors around the PS5 Pro have been multiplying. While the console is not even official yet, some hardware and technical experts believe that it would not allow GTA 6 to be played at 60 frames per second because of a very specific point.
While waiting for GTA 6, speculations multiply
Since its announcement last December, Grand Theft Auto VI is no longer talked about, at least officially. For the moment, players must be content to wait patiently until 2025, while watching over and over again the one and only trailer released until then. So, to pass the time, players have fun speculating about what the adventure will have in store for them. But today, these are hardware experts who speak and whose prediction may not please many people.
For years, the Digital Foundry site and YouTube channel have become references for everything related to video game technology. Each time a new title is released, its journalists offer a test that looks at the graphics and purely technical aspects of an experience using their numerous precise tools. In other words, their opinions in the video game media landscape are valuable and highly reliable with regard to hardware. For this reason, when they mention the case of the PS5 Pro and GTA 6, there is reason to listen.
GTA 6 not in 60 fps on PS5 Pro? It's very likely…
During a special edition of their podcast dedicated to the PlayStation 5 Pro, Rich Leadbetter, the founder of Digital Foundry, naturally came to talk about Grand Theft Auto VI, the most anticipated game at the moment, on Sony's next console. Here is what he says:
All the speculation that this case would be perfect for Grand Theft Auto 6, saying “we'll be able to run it at 60fps”, unless Rockstar does some magical things with the CPU, and I think that will not be the case, 10% more power for the processor will not change much.
As a reminder, according to information from numerous serious media, the PlayStation 5 Pro would offer a 3.85Ghz processor, which only represents a 10% increase in power compared to the base console. As saying that this does not seem sufficient for a title as ambitious and graphically advanced as Grand Theft Auto VI, as we saw in the first trailer released. In the meantime, we are not safe from Rockstar showing “magic” as was the case with Red Dead Redemption II on the first PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Response in 2025 for GTA 6 and visibly at the end of the year for the PS5 Pro.
