GTA 6 runs at 30 fps. What does that mean?
Shortly before launch, Rockstar confirmed it: Grand Theft Auto VI targets 30 frames per second on every console, the PS5 Pro included. Here you can see how that feels, what the Pro does better anyway and which console is enough for GTA 6.

Putting it in perspective
How bad is 30 fps?
At 30 fps, each frame stays on screen for 33.3 milliseconds. If the camera pans across a Full HD screen (1,920 pixels) once per second, the scene jumps 64 pixels from frame to frame. If your eye follows a car while that happens, it smears across the retina by exactly that distance. At 60 fps it would be half.
It's still playable, and many big console games ran at 30 fps for years. In-game motion blur can also make the jumps look softer. But once you're used to 60 or 120 fps, you see the difference right away, especially in fast pans and when aiming. You can measure whether you see it: the blind test on the home page evaluates your answers statistically.
Is a 60 fps mode coming? None has been announced. Rockstar explains the 30 fps as pushing both platforms to their limits. Anything beyond that would be speculation.

Which console for GTA 6?
GTA 6 won't get smoother on any console. The frame rate is the same everywhere. The difference is in image quality: the PS5 Pro shows the sharpest picture, the standard PS5 and the Xbox Series X are on par, and the Series S is the cheapest way in. Since GTA 6 comes as a code in a box, you don't need a disc drive.
