  "account": "Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will launch at 30fps on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S at present. However, it's possible that higher performance modes could be added later. This information comes from YouTuber Davy Jones, who previewed the game at Rockstar North and reported that the game is currently running at 30 frames per second (fps) during development.\n\nFlow Games also interviewed Jones, who mentioned that performance could change post-launch. According to Rob Nelson, the Lead Developer and Co-director at Rockstar North, the technical team needs to be consulted to determine if there will be a 60fps option at launch or in the future. He emphasized that the current performance details, such as resolution and Ray Tracing usage, have not been confirmed.\n\nWhile it's unclear if GTA 6 will run at 60fps on the PS5 Pro, the Extended Look footage, which was running on the base PS5, confirmed that it was capped at 30fps. TechRadar's Managing Editor, Rob Dwiar, noted that the game's technical brilliance and detail will likely put a significant demand on the console's GPU and CPU, making a 40fps mode on PS5 Pro an ideal balance.",
