Rockstar is reportedly working actively on a performance patch to make GTA VI run at 60 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X. No release date has been announced, but the studio has confirmed it is taking the issue seriously and will not allow its most ambitious game to be indefinitely capped at 30 fps.

What we know about the performance patch

According to podcaster Moore's Law Is Dead, cited by Notebookcheck, Rockstar is reportedly working on a performance patch for GTA VI targeting 60 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This update does not yet have an official release date, but the podcaster claims to have obtained the information from sources close to the development team.

For reference, GTA VI currently runs at 30 fps on consoles in the default quality mode—a choice that has not gone unnoticed by a community accustomed to seeing PS5 exclusives target 60 fps.

Why it's taking time

GTA VI is Rockstar’s most technically ambitious game yet: a massive open world, deeply revised NPC AI, procedural animations, and real-time weather simulation. Achieving stable 60 fps in this environment requires significant optimization work—it’s not just a matter of tweaking a slider in the graphics settings.

A comparison with Red Dead Redemption 2 is relevant: released in 2018 on PS4/Xbox One without a 60 fps mode, the game had to wait for Rockstar to optimize it sufficiently for the next-gen consoles. Rockstar appears to be moving faster this time—a sign that player feedback has been heard.

What this means

A 60 fps patch on PS5/Xbox Series X would transform the gameplay experience, especially for action missions and races. On Series S, the target will likely be 40 fps in performance mode—the GPU/RAM limitations of the smaller Xbox remain a real constraint.

To remember: 60 fps patch in development ✓ - no release date, single source (MLID). For whom: all PS5 and Xbox Series X players who have been waiting for this mode since launch. The GTA VI saga continues.
