Summary
- GTA 6 may only reach 30fps on PS5 Pro.
- Despite challenges, PS5 Pro may offer higher-quality visuals for the game.
The PS5 Pro was announced less than 48 hours ago, and public sentiment hasn't been great. Its168澳洲幸运5开奖网: high $700/£700 price point and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:lack of💖 a vertical stand and disc drivꩲe have 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:left fans "furious."
The PS5 Pro Is So Expens🌃ive Due To A "Lack Of Comꦓpetition", Says Analyst
With no real competition, Sony can charge what it likes for the PS5 🔜Pro.
Now, in a further blow to potential buyers, it's been reported that arguably the most anticipated upcoming game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto 6, might be too much for the console to handle, and it won't run at 4K 60fps.
GTA 6 Will Reportedly Target 30fps On PS5 Pro
On Tuesday, the PS5 Pro was revealed and boasted "three pillars" — a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and PSSR (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), AI upscaling, which will help to boost frame rates. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it will help with Rockstar's next grand adventure.
Speaking to Digital Foundry, asked the experts if Grand Theft Auto 6 would realistically be able to run at 60fps on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sony's mid-generation refresh. Digital Foundry said, “No. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto games have always run complex simulations that push the CPU hard," adding, "The PS5 Pro uses the same CPU as the PS5, and it would be extremely challenging to hit 60fps if the base PS5 version is targeting 30fps. This isn't a GPU problem, it's a CPU problem.”
While this may sound rough for fans, Digital Foundry clarifies that "every GTA game has initially launched on their target platforms at 30fps (or lower!)," suggesting it's maybe not as disastrous as it first sounds.
Digital Foundry admits that "all bets are off" in the unlikely event Rockstar is aiming for 4K60 on the standard PS5; however, they add that “What you will get will be higher quality visuals, but likely still running at similar frame-rates [to the base console],” and that “If GTA 6 can't sustain a locked 30fps, PS5 Pro can run the CPU with a 10 percent bump to clock speeds – so you may get more stable performance."
It's another slight blow to the optics of the PS5 Pro, which could already do with a win, but that's not stopped frustrated fans from getting excited. Early indications suggest that the Pro will sell well, given that fans are already stocking up on the console's detachable disc drive.
Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series🅠 yet.
