GTA 6 could support 60 fps gameplay, but only on Sony PS5 Pro: Details here
More than a year ahead of its expected launch, Grand Theft Auto VI or GTA 6 continues to generate momentum online – not just for its dual protagonists or expansive open world, but now for its potential performance benchmarks on consoles. A new video shared online has sparked fresh speculation about GTA 6 supporting 60 frames-per-second (fps) gameplay on select consoles. GTA 6 60 FPS support tied to PS5 Pro? According to a report by GizmoChina, an X (formerly Twitter) user named Detective Seeds shared that GTA 6 may run at 60 fps on the PlayStation 5 Pro. The said user claimed that Rockstar Games is working with Sony to optimise the title for the PS5 Pro, enabling higher performance across multiple graphic settings. If accurate, this would be a major shift from American video game publisher Rockstar Games' typical console strategy. Both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 launched with a 30 fps cap on consoles, with 60 fps support arriving later and only for PC. The current-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X are expected to offer the standard 30 fps experience, while smoother gameplay could be exclusive to the PS5 Pro when GTA 6 releases, reportedly in May 2026. Why does it matter Sony appears to be positioning the PS5 Pro as a high-performance option, similar to Microsoft's approach with games like Forza Horizon 5, where players can toggle between quality and performance modes. If GTA 6 does ship with a 60 fps option on PS5 Pro, it would give Sony a notable edge — especially among players who prioritise frame rates. For now, Rockstar Games and Sony have not issued any official confirmation about the game's performance targets or PS5 Pro enhancements. As such, the details remain speculative based on visuals and commentary currently circulating on the web. Notably, as per Rockstar Games, GTA 6 is set to release on May 26, 2026.

Will GTA 6 only run at 60 FPS on PS5 Pro? Don't ditch your Xbox X and Series S; here's what you need to know
Grand Theft Auto VI, a.k.a. GTA 6, may finally offer 60 frames per second (fps) gameplay, but only if you are planning to play it on your PlayStation 5 Pro, new leaks suggest. According to recent reports, Sony is reportedly working closely to boost the performance of the upcoming advanced console. However, the first trailers of the game showed that it is working at 30 FPS on the PS5. Rockstar and Sony team up to optimise GTA 6 for PS5 Pro A popular X (formerly called Twitter) user under the name Detective Seeds, popular for his leaks, claims that a PlayStation engineer has confirmed a behind-the-scenes collaboration between Sony and Rockstar Games. Why is Rockstar Games teaming up with Sony? According to GizBot, the main goal of Rockstar Games is to get GTA 6 running at 60 FPS on PS5 Pro, no matter which graphical setting the players choose to play with. Not only this, but unlike many titles that offer a choice between 'performance' and 'quality' modes, GTA 6 on PS5 Pro is believed to feature multiple graphical presets, but all these will target the 60 FPS mode, the leak further suggested. GTA6 has been, and continues to hit 60fps while being optimized for the PS5 Pro on multiple graphical settings. PS engineers are assisting with the optimization due to the new tech being implemented and rolled out with a current target date of May 2026. They are also assisting… Does this mean GTA 6 will not work properly on Xbox Series X and S or PS5? According to Times Now, previously the GTA franchise had been launched on PS5 with a capped frame rate of 30 FPS. Later it was speculated that the upcoming GTA title will also be released at the same frame rate for the older consoles. Now, it's not like PS5 cannot support 60 FPS games, and there are other popular titles like Astro Bot, Persona 5 Royal, Diablo 4, and more. Hence, it doesn't mean that there is no possibility of GTA 6 running on PS5 at 60 FPS. Heating issues and more highlighted One of the biggest challenges that players may face on PS5 will be the heating issues, like what has happened in the past with Death Stranding 2 and more. The report further claims that heavy games like GTA 6 have a very low chance of getting a 60 FPS frame rate on PS5. For the latest Xbox consoles, the case is almost identical.

GTA 6 to shatter records with $7.6 billion revenue in just 60 days? Here's what expert says
Grand Theft Auto VI is anticipated to break all the previous records in the gaming world so far, both in terms of sales and revenue. Analytics is predicting over $7.6 billion in revenue within just two months of its official release date. Moreover, the gaming venture capital firm Konvoy expects Rockstar Games' highly anticipated title to break industry records, potentially generating $7.6 billion in its first 60 days. This forecast has been made by Konvoy managing partner Josh Chapman (as reported by Insider Gaming). The figure includes earnings from standard game sales as well as revenue from GTA+, Rockstar's premium in-game subscription service. GTA 6 is poised to set new industry records According to Konvoy, GTA 6 could sell up to 85 million copies within the first two months, and that is all because of the worldwide audience and fan base. The firm describes the game's launch as potentially the 'biggest video game release ever,' forecasting the record-breaking numbers in sales, player engagement, and streaming viewership. Part of this forecast assumes a higher retail price as compared to the earlier titles. While GTA 5 was launched at $59.99, Konvoy anticipates GTA 6 will be priced around $80, reflecting inflation and the increasing cost of game development. This analysis also hints at a possible rise in the multiplayer scale, with speculation that GTA 6 could feature online lobbies for up to 200 players. According to the report, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar, may break even within 30 days after launch, given the anticipated $2 billion in development expenditures. This would be a remarkable return on investment, demonstrating the Grand Theft Auto franchise's commercial strength. GTA 6 release date update The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been prolonged, despite all the excitement. The official release date of the title has been rescheduled from earlier this year to May 26, 2026. "Delays pain me—how could they not?" said Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, in response to the delay.

GTA 6's $80 price raises debate, is it worth the billion dollar hype?
Image via: Rockstar Games Speculations for Grand Theft Auto VI are reaching a fervor, especially after a new prediction from Konvoy Venture Capital set the debate rolling in both gaming and financial circles. The report states that Rockstar may be charging the unprecedented price of $80 for the standard edition of their highly anticipated title and rake in $7.6 billion in revenue within 60 days. With the biggest ever budget, an extraordinary online plan, and fan expectation on the rise, the burning question that now remains: is the hype justifiable or has this gone too far on pricing? A Price That Reflects a $2 Billion Dream A $80 expected price tag for GTA VI speaks volumes when set beside the price Rockstar stuck to when they released GTA V, $60. Setting inflation aside, this 33% price hike has been met with both excitement and critique. But this is not about pricing; this is about shaking the ground once more on what is defined by a video game release. Can It Really Sell $7 billion? Konvoy estimates $7.6 billion in revenue within the first 60 days of launch. It would naturally turn into a rush to see how swiftly it would topple Red Dead Redemption 2 from its throne of lifetime sales. Some critics mention that it does seem like an ambitious prediction, considering the current-gen install base is roughly a total of 110 million consoles (PS5 + Xbox Series X|S). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Update: The Strategy Uses By Successful Intraday Trader TradeWise Learn More Undo For GTA VI to reach such numbers, almost 80 percent of all current-gen owners need to have bought it immediately after launch.

A step ahead, Rockstar could even espouse the creator payouts for modelers and server hosts, turning GTA VI not just into a game but into a platform for a few digital entrepreneurs. Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1 Is it Worth the Hype? The reported $80 price tag and billion-dollar earnings set off thoughts of they are excessive at first, but indisputably make a statement with how much the industry-and Rockstar-has changed. If GTA VI comes close to delivering gameplay on a huge scale, technology never seen before, online support from a huge backing, and tools for community-driven creativity, the value of a game today might stand redefined. But should the expectations remain unmet, the backlash could be just as massive.

Should You Buy Take-Two Stock Around $235?
Take-Two stock is rising on high sales expectations for an upcoming release. Analysts expect sales of "Grand Theft Auto VI" to lift Take-Two's revenue by 52% in fiscal 2027. Strong sales of add-on content and in-game spending could lead to significantly higher margins and earnings. 10 stocks we like better than Take-Two Interactive Software › Investors are keen on Take-Two Interactive's (NASDAQ: TTWO) prospects with the blockbuster release of Grand Theft Auto VI less than a year away. The Grand Theft Auto franchise has become a cornerstone of pop culture and has been one of the best-selling video game series of all time. Scheduled to debut on May 26, 2026, the newest installment will tap into a huge fanbase that's anxious to jump into a new adventure -- it has been 12 years since the previous release of Grand Theft Auto V. The featured song in the release trailer for the upcoming title saw an 182,000% increase in the number of streams on Spotify, while the trailer itself was viewed over 475 million times in the first 24 hours. Anticipation for the game is sky-high, and Take-Two stock is up 27% year to date, as of this writing. Though the new release is still a year away, the substantial windfall it can offer Take-Two's business justifies buying the stock now, and growth estimates from Wall Street analysts seem to echo this sentiment. Here's what you need to know. From a valuation perspective, Take-Two stock is clearly priced for growth. It currently trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 87 based on earnings estimates for the current fiscal year (ending Mar. 31, 2026). That multiple drops to 25 for fiscal 2027, based not just on expectations for Grand Theft Auto (GTA) but also strong sales across Take-Two's large catalogue of titles. Take-Two has two upcoming releases this year that should also deliver strong sales: Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country. Borderlands is the bigger franchise, with the previous installment selling 22 million units. Management's fiscal 2026 outlook calls for net bookings to grow roughly 5% over fiscal 2025, to a range $5.9 billion to $6.0 billion. Nearly half of bookings are expected to come from Zynga's mobile titles, with another 39% coming from the 2K label and 16% from Rockstar Games, which includes sales of the current GTA title. Fiscal 2027 will be the first year to include sales of GTA VI. Management doesn't offer specific revenue guidance this far out, but Wall Street analysts currently expect revenue to grow 52% over fiscal 2026 to reach a record $9.1 billion. For perspective, the previous release grew revenue 98% in Take-Two's fiscal 2014, and it supported a decade of growth for the business. Take-Two could be looking at a strong five-year stretch of growth, at a minimum. Wall Street analysts currently project revenue will reach $10.9 billion by fiscal 2030, implying a five-year compound annual growth rate of 14%. The company is executing a long-term growth strategy that extends beyond GTA VI as well. It has 25 titles planned for release through fiscal 2028, including releases for existing franchises, five sports simulation games, and four mobile titles. This should further pad its top-line momentum. What's really going to move the stock is earnings. Three quarters of Take-Two's bookings come from recurrent consumer spending, including virtual currency, add-on content updates to existing games, and in-game advertising. This revenue is very accretive to margins and earnings, and Take-Two has mastered the art of keeping players spending time with GTA V for the last decade through Grand Theft Auto Online. GTA VI should be able to drive similar growth in recurrent consumer spending. Analysts expect Take-Two's adjusted earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 39% over the next five years, reaching $16.03 per share. If the stock is still trading at 25 times earnings, that would put the share price at $400. Even allowing for some margin of error in analysts' estimates, this top video game stock still offers upside from the current $234 share price. However, investors need to keep in mind that release dates for games are not set in stone. GTA VI was originally scheduled to release this year, but it was pushed back to give the developers more time to polish the game. Given this uncertainty, which tends to result in greater volatility for the stock, I would keep any position in Take-Two small and then buy more shares on any dips.
