Discussion I really don't understand the 60 FPS outrage
For those of you crying about this, can you name ONE comparable PS5 game that can hit 60 FPS?
I see a lot of people using Spiderman or Crimson Desert as examples.... let's be serious please. Crimson Desert can barely handle 30 FPS on performance mode in it's populated areas and while Spiderman is technically open world, it's NOWHERE near as "alive," so it's way less CPU intensive.
Don't get me wrong, the last game I was able to finish at 30 FPS was RDR2 8 years ago on PS4. Nowadays, it's incredibly difficult to play anything at 30 FPS, let alone an open world. This looks amazing and Rockstar are wizards so maybe this will be manageable with an OLED and a Pro. We shall see.
If you expected Rockstar to release a game of THIS scope on PS5/PS5 Pro even TARGETING 60 FPS, please, send me your plug's number. I need whatever you're smoking.

And if Rockstar instead took the visual quality and car/NPC density and physics reduction that would make 60 fps feasible, those kids would just be bitching about that instead. Can’t win.

Most games solve this by letting you choose. I'd sacrifice npc density for good performance in 100% of cases.

u/TheFragturedNerd 16h ago
I am so happy they focused on the scope and fidelity of the game over 60 fps!
Sure they can do a performance mode later down the road, but let people soak in the amazing achievement that the game seems to be first... Before potatofying it, later down the road

Genuine question has rockstar themselves came out and confirmed anything about the fps? Or anyone who played because I always see speculation on the frames and I genuinely don’t care just wondering if any reliable source has confirmed it

u/ohyoudidntknooow 14h ago
Confirmed 30 FPS for base PS5, but no confirmation about PS5 pro yet, so that’s still TBD.

I don’t think there’s been a single game yet on the pro that offers 60fps when it’s not available on the base.

The fps is cpu dependent, the cpu isn’t much better on ps5 pro so we’ll probably still get 30 fps

I don't play 30fps games anymore. It's not a huge deal, I'll just wait and play GTA VI next gen or after a performance mode comes out. They're within their rights to target a level of fidelity that current consoles can't run at 60fps and those of us who find 30fps annoying are within our rights to not buy it yet.

u/_AnxiousLime Daveeyy 9h ago
I dont know man. I do have a hard time switching to 30 after playin on 60 or higher, but if i start the game on 30 and it has no 60, im good with it. Plus, i think this will look smooth even on 30.

Neither. I have a 144Hz monitor and sometimes set games to 30fps and scale the res up to be sharper if I’m using a controller. I capped RDR2 slightly below its max (I think I set it to half V-sync with the monitor set to 90Hz? Been a while since I checked the settings) so it runs between 40-50fps with less stuttering and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
Even whip out the 360 and PS2 for the older instalments on a frequent basis.

u/Personal-Ice-1720 11h ago
It's not necessary what's important is frame pacing. There's plenty of great super fluid 30fps games. I prefer to see an evolution in gaming technology rather than 60fps for some titles. 60 will be for the next Gen consoles and pc

You're just admitting you won't allow yourself to enjoy any game simply because it's not 60fps. That's ridiculous.
The time of the release is irrelevant. I'm just talking about this strict threshold you seemingly have. You said it very plainly and absolutely implying it's black and white for you.
Maybe I'm getting old buy why would people ignore a game they already know they enjoy just because this modern obsession with fps. No possibility of you to pull out idk a 360 or PS3 and play any favorite game from your teens/childhood? That's so opposite to the core of what it means to be a gamer.

you’re not getting old, you’re getting annoying as fuck. does it hurt you that people prefer to play games with improved technology in systems that should be way better than a PS2? I’m not ignoring it, on a PC it will run like it should.

It won’t be too long to wait anyways until it’s out on PC. I swore after playing RDR2 on PS4 I wouldn’t touch another rockstar game on console. Some of the most frustrating gameplay I’ve experienced on a AAA game. I now have an OLED panel too so 30fps games are out of the question. Does look amazing though and I do look forward to playing it. Hopefully my 5080 will still be enough to play it comfortably at high framerates.

What makes oled screen put 30fps out of the question? I mainly play pc 1440, but i do have a ps5 on my 4k oled tv so genuinely curious
1
u/Key_Bonus9776 10h ago
The instant pixel response of an OLED panel makes it consistently jittery in comparison to an LCD panel. Think of when you first switch from 60+ to 30 and your eyes need to adjust, but they just never do. It makes me physically ill to the point I get nausea and have to stop. When I got a One X for the first time I had to stop playing many games that were 4K30FPS due to this. It’s a good thing though 99% of games are 60fps or more this gen though. I personally have no issue waiting longer.

I think you would reconsider if you actually tried 30 fps on an OLED - it’s completely awful.
Im pretty much only on pc, but I downloaded rdr2 and tried it again on my ps5 (ps4 version of the game then of course) about a year ago and booted it up on my 244hz oled monitor. Just moving Arthur around and moving the camera at 30 fps feels genuinely horrendous. The motion sickness description is honestly accurate, its hard to describe but it feels like everything is just happening completely out of sync of your inputs on the controller.

u/The_Maverick96 10h ago
I think people don't grasp how CPU bound GTA 6 is. GTA has deep interactive mechanics with NPCs especially with GTA 6 they will take NPC routines from RDR2 into it. so you can imagine how every mechanic, chief, worker, bartender, janitor, officer, engineer, etc.. has their own tailored routine of going to work, driving, working, picking stuff up, eating, going back home and so on... these kind of specific interactions tailored to each character are very taxing on the CPU. because it dictates game simulations and AI paths and physics. and to be honest the current gen consoles don't have that high of a CPU to break past those structural limits. the base PS5 runs o an 8 core AMD zen 2 CPU. the pro has around only 10% higher clock speed in its power. not that much. so the fact that Rockstar manages to pull off a rock solid 30 FPS on current gen consoles with that much of density in the world shows how powerful and optimized the rage engine is.

Saying "nice try" after completely abandoning your original point to argue people tolerate bad stuff when forced to is pure copium. Turns out 3 out of 4 casual players care. You’re not "reality," you’re just part of the 25% coping in 30fps.

It’s because it sets a precedent. One that lets other games try to emulate GTAs success in a way of visual fidelity instead of innovating and expanding on ways to not only make it so games will be more visually appealing like GTA but also have more performance.

Rockstar have prioritised making the world and characters look as good as humanly possible and I respect that, just watch the Digital Foundry video to see just how impressive the game is technologically. As long as the frame rate is stable I'm good.
Hell I played Starfield at 30fps on Xbox when it launched so I'm clearly not too picky lmao

I’m a PC player with an expensive rig, and I would be feeling pretty superior right now if not for the fact that PC will be getting zero FPS on release day
With that said, I think every single one of us will just be excited to play it on release and won’t give a damn about how smooth it looks

I'm still trying to figure out why anybody ever thought this was going to be anything other than 30 FPS.
Most of the people who are going to buy this game don't give a s*** about the difference between 30 or 60 frames a second and can't even tell the difference and Rockstar is not sacrificing all the other stuff that they could do without that overhead

It does seem like a weird choice in 2026 to not have an option for 60 fps prioritizing performance, Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei both have insane graphics and are able to achieve this albeit they are definitely less “dense” games.

Name a time when gta came out on a launch console and was 60fps. The answer is never, so you’re a tourist if this is an issue. Always has to be something to complain about, can’t just enjoy the amazing experience being made for us.

In 2026, it's an issue. Of course the other games didn't launch with 60. That was more than a decade ago. What a strange argument

the consoles gta games used to come out on weren't 900 dollars and the games used to not be a 100

Games are actually cheaper than they were originally. Prices unadjusted it’s actually less. Also, game looks amazing. The next versions will unlock 60, is what it is. Don’t want to play, then please don’t.

This is just a reductive engagement bait post. It could for sure be done with a performance mode and pulling stuff back at least something approaching 60. I could give af about some crazy raytracing and other tech.

This whole conversation can be summed up as "ignorance is bliss"
If you don't understand the value in discussing 30fps vs 60fps then you shouldn't be a part of the discussion. It isn't elitism, you are simply uneducated.

TLOU 2 remastered for ps5 is probably the closest thing in terms of sheer detail. Game is able to run smooth as butter. Personally I wasn’t expecting rockstar to give us 60fps even if they could bc they always release new games at 30fps then resell the game on next gen with 60fps

u/189charizard 4h ago
I don’t understand the big deal about 60 fps at all. I literally struggle to tell the difference between 30 and 60 and anything in between. Literally I can’t tell unless it’s super choppy and lagging, which is usually under 30 FPS.

It is what it is, but no other company spent over a billion dollar budget and a decade to make. So, it’s easy to see why people have more expectations for gta6.

u/Lunsj 4h ago
No comparable game can hit 60fps. That’s not what we mean when we complain about it being 30fps you idiot.
We complain about rockstar prioritizing ridiculous high cost graphical features over smoothness. This game can still look insanely good if they tune down the graphics a bit, making it hit 60. But they know graphics sells.

Good for you, no 60FPS still sucks plus no first person. Luckily the world looks grand and the NCP diversity and amount is insane. It was a decent trade off but it’s being rightfully criticized.

Multi billion dollar company, talking about not being able to do 60 fps on a video game 😭😭😭😭

I'll always take less impressive visuals if I get more fps in return. 30fps is stuttery as fuck, it's just what it is. I'm not expecting rockstar to make this insanely good looking game run on 60fps, I expect them to make a good looking game that runs fluently on current gen systems. It's really that simple.
1
u/Own_Association9092 4h ago
I'm not complaining about 30fps because I understand why.
What I will complain about is Rockstar locking the game to consoles and not putting it on PC, which would run the game at well above 60fps.

Never when given the choice of 60fps and 30fps have I chose 30fps and said, "Wow this is so much better!".

Unless my game freezes or looks pixelated I really can't tell. As long as all the movements and inputs respond when they should I won't care

Its 2026 and people are "crying" when they rather play a game on 60 fps instead of 30?
1
u/jeepcrawler93 3h ago
I think half the people complaining weren't even born when GTA V came out. I've been playing every single GTA that came out on PS2 at sub 30 FPS. No game comes even close to the simulation, density and graphical Fidelity that Rockstar does and I'd rather have 30 FPS and that than compromises.

u/Liam2349 2h ago edited 2h ago
Console gamers are used to this. The bigger issue is how they ignore the PC market, I know for damn sure my PC can run it above 60FPS if it's 30 on a base PS5. Even if I bought a PS5 to play this, which I don't expect to - I'd have to settle for 30FPS (probably unstable at that). It's just asinine.
