GTA 6 on PS5 vs PS5 Provs Xbox Series X|S
No official GTA 6 resolution or frame rate exists for any console as of October 7, 2026. What is confirmed per console, plus published hardware specs.

The short answer
Rockstar, Sony and Microsoft have not published a resolution, frame rate or graphics mode for GTA 6 on any console. Confirmed The only platform detail on the store pages is that the game is on PS5, is flagged PS5 Pro Enhanced, and is optimized for Xbox Series X|S. Any per-console comparison you see with numbers is a guess.
What is confirmed per console
| Console | What the official page says | Resolution and fps |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 (disc and Digital) | Listed on PlayStation; DualSense haptics, adaptive triggers, Tempest 3D Audio, fast SSD loading | Not stated |
| PS5 Pro | Listed as PS5 Pro Enhanced | Not stated |
| Xbox Series X | Listed as optimized for Xbox Series X and S | Not stated |
| Xbox Series S | Same Xbox listing as Series X | Not stated |
The PlayStation page does not say what the Pro enhancement changes. PlayStation's own Pro page describes "PS5 Pro Enhanced" in general terms as improved visuals and performance over the standard PS5, using the console's extra power. Confirmed That is a description of the label, not of GTA 6.
Published hardware differences
These come from Sony and Microsoft spec pages, not from Rockstar. They show what each box can do in general. They do not tell you how GTA 6 will run.
| Console | Built-in storage | Display support listed | Disc drive |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 Digital Edition | 825 GB | 4K, high frame rate in supported games | No |
| PS5 (disc) | 1 TB | 4K, high frame rate in supported games | Yes |
| PS5 Pro | 2 TB | 4K, 60 Hz and 120 Hz displays, PSSR upscaling, advanced ray tracing | Not stated on the page |
| Xbox Series X | 1 TB (2 TB special edition) | 4K, up to 120 fps in supported content, VRR | Not stated on the page |
| Xbox Series S | 512 GB or 1 TB | 1440p target, upscales to 4K, up to 120 fps in supported content | No, all-digital |
Some of each SSD is reserved for system software, PlayStation notes. Confirmed Xbox lists the Series X at 12 TFLOPS and the Series S at 4 TFLOPS. Confirmed Sony's pages we opened do not give a comparable TFLOPS figure for the PS5 family.
What we do not know
- Whether GTA 6 has a quality mode, a performance mode, or only one mode.
- Whether the PS5 Pro build changes resolution, frame rate, ray tracing or all three.
- Whether the Series S build differs from the Series X build beyond resolution.
A podcast has claimed a 30 and 60 fps option on PS5 and Series X, with 30 fps on Series S. It cites one unnamed source, and Rockstar has said nothing. Unconfirmed We treat it as a rumour.
So which console should you buy?
If you already own one of these, you can play on launch day. Do not buy a Pro or Series X only for GTA 6 performance until Rockstar shows modes. Storage is the one planning issue you can act on now, and the install size is also unannounced. See our PS5 Pro and SSD guide and the storage planner.
