Some of These GTA 6 Clips Look So Good That I Don't Care If It's Running at 30 fps
Earlier this week, Rockstar confirmed that GTA 6 would be running at 30 fps on all of the consoles, including the PS5 Pro. And while I wasn't surprised, I've been watching some of the clips that have been trickling out this week, and I can't say I'm not excited to play it, even at 30 fps.

Rockstar has confirmed GTA 6 will run at 30 fps on all consoles, including PS5 Pro. Despite the expectation, Jackie was still excited to watch the game's impressive clips. One particularly striking clip from Instagram account onlyindade showed cars driving down a road, which looked incredibly realistic. Even after compressing the footage, it was clear that GTA 6 will be a stunning game with exceptional texture quality and realistic reflections.
The shadows in these clips look soft and natural, suggesting the PS5 Pro's PSSR upscaling and ray traced shadows contributed to the visual quality. Another clip captured inside a car revealed the car door's textures, which appeared almost lifelike. The shadows of a blue and pink car, as well as the palm tree, were also impressive, despite the video compression.
The graphics in GTA 6 outshine other games currently available, even considering the older graphics architecture of PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, some compression artifacts may affect distant objects' crispness on launch day. Nonetheless, these clips confirm that GTA 6's visuals are exceptional, even on the current-generation consoles.
The author expresses excitement to see how the game will look on a high-end PC with the latest graphics cards.
