“It’s very likely”: I hope this 60 FPS rumor for GTA 6 on Xbox Series X and S is true
Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to generate excitement as development approaches its highly anticipated release. A recent rumor from a reportedly credible source suggests that Rockstar Games is working to optimize the game for current-generation Xbox hardware with performance improvements.
According to the leak, which allegedly comes from the same source that previously revealed The Witcher 3 DLC details ahead of official announcement, Xbox Series X is expected to receive a 60 FPS performance mode for GTA 6. The Xbox Series S, meanwhile, is currently locked at 30 FPS, though development sources indicate the team is actively working to achieve 60 FPS compatibility on the less powerful console as well.
While the rumor carries some credibility given the source’s track record, it remains unconfirmed speculation. Rockstar Games has not officially announced performance targets or frame rate specifications for any platform at this stage. The rumors reflect ongoing optimization efforts typical of major AAA game development, where performance targets often shift during the development cycle.
The potential for 60 FPS gameplay on Xbox Series X would represent a significant technical achievement for the open-world title, as GTA 6 is anticipated to be one of the generation’s most technically demanding releases. If the Series S optimization efforts prove successful, it would further extend the accessibility of the latest Grand Theft Auto entry across Xbox’s current hardware lineup.
