Alright, let’s talk about something every gamer has on their mind—GTA 6 and the PS5 Pro. We’ve all been waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6 like it’s the second coming, and with Rockstar dropping that one insane trailer, the hype is real. But, before you start saving up for the PS5 Pro, let’s break down the rumor mill: It might not give you that sweet combo of 4K resolution and 60 frames per second (fps) for GTA 6. Yep, you heard that right.
A Quick Reality Check on GTA 6 Expectations
So, here’s the deal—there's been some chatter, specifically from Richard Leadbetter at Digital Foundry, that GTA 6 probably won’t hit 60fps on the PS5 Pro. I know, that’s like a punch to the gut for anyone dreaming of smooth, hyper-realistic gameplay. Why? The issue isn’t with the GPU (which handles the graphics), but the CPU (which handles all that behind-the-scenes action like NPCs and animals doing their thing in real-time).
Leadbetter says that GTA games have always put a lot of pressure on the CPU, which is why they usually run at 30fps, not 60. And guess what? The PS5 Pro is rocking the same CPU as the base PS5, so don’t expect miracles. Basically, if the regular PS5 can’t hit 60fps, the Pro is gonna have a tough time pulling that off too.
But Wait, There’s More!
Now, before you toss your PS5 Pro dreams out the window, let’s put this into perspective. Even if we don’t get 60fps with max settings, GTA 6 is still gonna look absolutely insane on the PS5 Pro. Expect better graphics, faster load times, and overall smoother gameplay. But, yeah, that dream combo of top-tier visuals at 60fps might be off the table.
Why This Isn’t a Dealbreaker
Look, I get it. We’ve all been hoping that GTA 6 would be the game to push the PS5 Pro to its absolute limits. But here’s the thing—GTA 6 is still going to push boundaries. The game’s world is gonna be huge, packed with detail, animals, highly-detailed buildings, and more NPCs than you can shake a stick at. In other words, Rockstar’s still going to deliver something jaw-dropping, even if it doesn’t hit the magical 60fps at 4K.
And honestly, most of us were fine with GTA 5 at 30fps, right? It's not like Rockstar's about to drop the ball on this one. Sure, it might not be the perfect 4K 60fps we were all hoping for, but it'll still be an absolute beast of a game.
The $700 Question: Is the PS5 Pro Worth It for GTA 6?
So now the big question: Is the PS5 Pro worth dropping $700 on? It’s dropping November 7, and for that price, you don’t even get a disc drive. Ouch. But let’s be real—if you’re planning to grab GTA 6 when it drops next year, you’re gonna want a system that can handle all that glorious chaos.
Even though the PS5 Pro might not hit 60fps, it’s still gonna enhance the game in other ways—better graphics, smoother textures, and probably faster loading times. Plus, GTA 6 is gonna push a lot of consoles, including the PS5 Pro, so even if you don’t snag it at launch, there’s gonna be demand for it when GTA 6 drops in 2025.
Final Thoughts: Manage Expectations but Stay Hyped
In the end, yeah, it’s a bit of a bummer that the PS5 Pro probably won’t hit 4K 60fps for GTA 6. But don’t let that kill your excitement. Rockstar has never disappointed when it comes to making next-level games, and GTA 6 is set to be one of the biggest launches in gaming history. Whether you play it on a PS5 or a PS5 Pro, it’s gonna be epic.
So, what do you think? Are you still grabbing the PS5 Pro for GTA 6, or sticking with the base model? Either way, buckle up, because GTA 6 is going to be a wild ride.
