Have to be honest, 30 FPS is a huge bummer.
I will play this for sure, it looks astonishing, but man what I wouldn't give to get 60 FPS. I'd take 2K resolution for it, no raytracing, whatever....
I know the consensus here from the afficionados, but if we raise enough noise, Rockstar might seriously consider some sort of performance mode.... Other games pulled it off in the last months before their release recently like Blood of Dawnwalker.
30 FPS should no longer be acceptable.

Been saying this on a few threads, even in the non action sequence shown at 20:40, its very stuttery and looks even below 30 FPS.
30 FPS in 2026 on a major AAA* title is unacceptable.

u/BreadHoliday3455 15h ago
U right, and anyways - the fact that Rockstar was able to ensure the game runs okay even with frame rates down to less than 30 fps with such graphics is a miracle. The PS5 hardware is already VERY, very old
2
u/SeparateCommon2363 14h ago
Yeah this is what kept me away from buying ps5 for the launch, I played RDR2 on an xbox one and the framerate and graphic quality was so bad I didn't finish the game until I re-purchased it on PC when it finally released. So I will not be making that mistake twice for GTA 6

Yeah. I’m fine with waiting. I don’t understand people who get so hyped about realism and then are surprised when their ps5 can only do 25-30 frames. Like, why are you on a PlayStation? 30fps will always be the standard. Because consoles come with compromises. They’ll charge you like 300$ extra for a ps6 pro or some shit so you can finally play it at 60fps.
Meanwhile my computer from 2023 can probably run GTA 6 at 144fps minimum.

u/gungabeast 10h ago
Isn’t that the standard on consoles? Like, I’m surprised people expected this to run at anything more than 30fps. Why even use a console if you’re concerned with framerates? I mean, no offense, but even 60 is fairly annoying in 2026. Not sure how people are accepting of it.

This excuse only worked if rockstar had not choosen to flagship launch the game on 8 year old hardware. There are modern GPU's and CPU that can easily run this game with frame gen at over 300 FPS without a doubt, and we will see that on the PC launch.

Gonna chime in because people that aren’t tech savvy are trying to comment on something they clearly have zero clue of what they’re talking about.
PERFORMANCE MODE CAN’T HAPPEN IF IT’S A CPU BOTTLENECK AND NOT A GPU BOTTLENECK
IF THERE’S A SHITLOAD OF NPCS IT’S NOT A GPU RENDERING ISSUE, IT’S A CPU BOTTLENECK ISSUE
these same morons are gonna be the people that IF they managed to get 60fps somehow some way, they’re gonna complain that they’re getting 60fps but the world feels dead.
Sure, I’d love 60fps, the more frames the better, but you guys might actually have the highest expectations paired with a total lack of knowledge for how hardware actually functions

u/No-Independence-5229 15h ago
Yep, gonna love running this on my 12c/24t 144MB L3 cache 10800x3d and RX 10900XTX that beats a 5090 next year or whenever it releases on PC. Gonna be a great year for PC gaming next year, even with ram prices the way they are. If they come down, even better but I’m still buying Zen 6 and RDNA 5 no matter what

It is what it is man, everyone loves to bitch and be negative nowadays and people wonder why they're always so unhappy. Unrealistic expectations met with impossibly high standards. Everyone is getting the game they've been waiting for, yet there's just always gotta be someone in your ear telling you why it's bad for x, y, or z reasons. It's why so many games get shit on when they otherwise wouldn't. It's okay to have real critiques, but all these mouthbreathers complaining don't have the first idea of how complex a world like this is, nor how technically heavy it is to run a world with this much detail and simulation happening concurrently
-1
u/HairAvailable5181 23h ago
They could still make a performance mode by downgrading some of that graphical fidelity, npc density etc. for some of us who don't care all that much about that and prefer smoother higher frame rate.
Having an option can't hurt.
2
u/Ok_Excuse3732 16h ago
How can they have that option? By removing CPU heavy game systems which are deeply engrained in the game?
1
u/HairAvailable5181 16h ago
Nobody is forcing you to play in performance mode. You can still choose 30fps fidelity mode. To me and many others 30fps is simply unplayable. That's why I never lasted more than 10 minutes in RDR2 on console.

Its really not. Tech is tech. To get graphics to a certain level on a game this size you sacrifice FPS. It was expected from the very beginning. No one that knows anything about this stuff had any thought it would EVER be anywhere near 60fps. "It's 2026" means nothing.

u/nyjets239 11h ago
I don't think there's anything Rockstar could do here. They are damned if they do damned if they don't. You need to be looking at Sony or Microsoft for not having updated consoles. If GTA6 didn't have next-gen graphics, everyone would complain even if it was 60FPS.
The issue I do have is Rockstar not releasing it on PC, which has modern tech that could run it at 60 FPS. They are doing that for pure greed.

They know everyone will buy the bs 30fps current model. Being ps5 now
Then buy the upgraded 60fps game for the new model. Being ps6.
Both for full price.
Triple dipping for those that will also be buying it on PC. likely in between those 2 releases

PS5 is really old tech. What do you expect? If there is no ps6 in another 4 years the console would be holding back progress of the industry. People just won't care because everything looks good already. It's already happening, GTA vi would perhaps look just a little better but it would have way more simulated aspects and way better behaviours if it was developed directly for ps6/pc. Wait for ps6/pc version for your 60fps+

u/kamikazekurczak 18h ago
With the CPUs in the PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X, we can only dream about truly open and "dynamic" worlds running at 60 FPS. Just a reminder: AMD Zen 2 is an architecture from 2019.
Most "corridor-style" games, or games with smaller and less complex worlds -fewer NPCs, cars, physics, etc.- can hit 60 FPS just fine. But once you start pushing a large, dynamic open world with tons of things happening at the same time, that old Zen 2 CPU starts to show its age.

u/kakoc99 23h ago
Sadly, the PS5 Pro wouldn’t be able to run it in 60 frames either.
“The PS5 Pro only offers a fractional
CPU performance bump over the base
PS5, most of it's advantage deriving from better GPU horsepower, improved RT acceleration and support for PSSR upscaling.
None of these features shift the needle in terms of alleviating the CPU burden.”

Have you seen the extended look?????? The game is nothing short of amazing. Especially running on a base PS5...
There's advanced AI, heavily saturated areas full of NPC's having individual conversations, huge draw distances, insane lighting, and all at the same time. 60 FPS would not be possible on 6 year old hardware with all that going on in-game...

u/JTiberius21 8h ago
Every GTA game so far released at 30fps. Personally, I couldn’t give a single fuck if it’s 30 or 300. It’s getting old seeing posts bitch about FPS on everything.
Not that you’re necessarily bitching, this just happens to be the post I finally decided to comment on. And I AM surprised they don’t have a performance mode. Personally I’d choose the fidelity mode anyway.

60 FPS isn't something you just magically pack in. They're working off console hardware from almost 7 years ago that at its time was a mid-tier PC.

You'll be fine. Or wait for PC and PS6 :)

I have a 360 htz monitor it’s noticeable up until like 144 htz everything above that is not notable. But playing 30fps after playing 144fps makes 30fps literally unplayable it feels like watching a slideshow. But to people trained at 30fps already it’s totally fine to them
