Is GTA 6 better on PS5 Pro?
The PlayStation Store lists GTA 6 as PS5 Pro Enhanced, and Rockstar’s site says it “plays best on PlayStation 5”. Neither company has said what the Pro version improves, whether resolution, frame rate or both. Rockstar’s Rob Nelson told creators in August 2026 that console builds run at 30fps and did not commit to a 60fps mode on any console.

The PS5 download is reported at about 210 GB, from PlayStation Store data spotted on October 27, 2026; Rockstar has not confirmed it. The original 825 GB PS5 has about 667 GB of usable space, so many players will need to clear room. Details in GTA 6 file size.
On November 2, the same PlayStation Store data showed the game’s minimum system software moving to version 14.22, released by Sony that day as a security update. Rockstar has not announced a requirement, but updating before launch avoids a wait on the day.
