GTA 6 on PS5 Pro will be the definitive console version. Sony’s mid-generation refresh delivers a ~45% GPU performance increase, dedicated PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upscaling, and improved ray tracing — exactly the upgrades GTA 6 needs to shine. Here’s what to expect from the PS5 Pro version.
What the PS5 Pro brings
- ~45% more GPU shader power than base PS5
- 2-3x faster ray tracing with dedicated RT hardware
- PSSR AI upscaling — Sony’s DLSS analog
- Same CPU as base PS5 (slightly higher clocks)
- 2 TB SSD standard
Expected GTA 6 PS5 Pro enhancements
Performance Mode
Base PS5 likely targets 30 FPS at upscaled 4K. PS5 Pro should deliver:
- 60 FPS at upscaled 4K (using PSSR)
- 30 FPS native 4K with maximum settings
- Optional 40 FPS mode for 120 Hz TV owners
Visual Mode (Fidelity)
- Higher-quality ray-traced reflections
- Ray-traced global illumination (likely PS5 Pro exclusive)
- Higher-quality shadow rendering
- Better foliage and crowd density
Online mode benefits
Higher player counts in session, better physics simulation, smoother handling of busy lobbies.
How the PS5 Pro compares to PC
The PS5 Pro is comparable to roughly an RTX 4060 / RX 7700 XT in raster performance, with ray tracing closer to an RTX 4060 Ti. PC players targeting equivalent visuals will need:
- GPU: RTX 4060 or RTX 4070
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 / i5-13400 or better
- RAM: 16 GB minimum, 32 GB recommended

Will GTA 6 launch with PS5 Pro support?
Almost certainly yes. Rockstar has a strong relationship with Sony, and GTA 6 is the highest-profile launch on the Pro’s roadmap. Expect day-one PS5 Pro Enhanced badge on the store listing.
Will base PS5 owners feel left behind?
No — the base PS5 version will still be excellent. The Pro adds polish but base PS5 will run at very respectable 30/60 FPS modes. The gap is similar to PS4 vs PS4 Pro in 2016.
Xbox Series X comparison
Xbox Series X is most directly comparable to base PS5 — slightly more GPU power but identical practical performance. Xbox Series X will likely match base PS5 modes 1:1, with PS5 Pro pulling ahead. See our GTA 6 Xbox Series X features guide for the Xbox-specific breakdown.
