My PS5 Pro and TV are ready for GTA 6, and the tweaks took less than 10 minutes

As the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6 inches closer, gamers are rushing to optimize their gaming setups for the best possible experience. While the focus has been on the PS5 Pro, it's crucial to note that many are overlooking the importance of fine-tuning their TVs as well. Preloading GTA 6's Ultimate Edition has provided gamers with ample time to tweak their consoles and displays, ensuring they are ready for the best possible performance.

Firstly, set your console to automatically adjust settings like resolution, 120Hz output, HDR, VRR, ALLM, Deep Color Output, and RGB Range. This allows the console to negotiate the signal best suited for your display, preventing any potential issues. The 120Hz output option is particularly significant, as it ensures high-refresh modes are available for compatible games. Even a base PS5 can benefit from this feature.

Next, ensure your console is connected to a full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 port on your TV. This guarantees the best possible performance. Additionally, enable Game Mode or the equivalent feature on your TV to minimize unnecessary processing and input latency. Disabling motion smoothing, noise reduction, artificial sharpness, dynamic contrast, AI picture enhancements, and Eco Mode can also enhance your gaming experience.

However, keep Local Dimming enabled, particularly on mini-LED, QLED, or LCD TVs, to ensure optimal picture quality.

The GTA 6 preload suggests that the game will support a 120Hz high-frame rate mode, even though it will be locked to 30 FPS. Therefore, enabling 120Hz Output on your PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S console is essential. This will ensure you're prepared for whatever Rockstar has in store, even if GTA 6 doesn't utilize VRR support. With these tweaks, you'll be ready to dive into GTA 6, maximizing your gaming experience on both console and TV.
