Rockstar confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will run at 30 frames per second across all platforms, with no additional performance modes. PlayStation 5 Pro owners will gain access to PSSR upscaling for a cleaner image and ray-traced shadows exclusive to the PS5 Pro version. The base PS5 will not receive these enhancements.
GTA 6 will launch on Xbox Cloud Gaming at release, accessible on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One via streaming. Cloud streaming will not come to PlayStation consoles, though remote play from home consoles is supported on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The game is available to pre-load across all platforms. Some players report that GTA 6's story mode appears as a separate download, which fuels speculation about an upcoming online mode. Recent reports suggest a PC version may launch in early 2027.
