"GTA 6" is now available for pre-loading in Australia and New Zealand, allowing players to examine related files and metadata. Analysis results suggest that the PS5 Pro version may utilize the newer PSSR 2 image upscaling solution and has the technical capability to offer a 40fps mode, although Rockstar has not yet confirmed specific graphics modes.
GTA Forums member Tex2 analyzed that the PSSR 2 version number listed for the PS5 Pro version is 13.60, higher than the 13.00A reportedly used by "Cyberpunk 2077" and "Assassin's Creed Shadows." This difference may indicate that the game uses a newer upscaling solution, although existing materials do not yet demonstrate specific improvements in image quality or performance.
Metadata also reportedly includes support for 120Hz or high frame rate modes, but variable refresh rate has not been confirmed. Tex2 stated that the game does support 120Hz or high frame rate modes, while whether a 40fps mode will be released depends on Rockstar. Theoretically, developers could run a 40fps mode within a 120Hz container, but this is merely a technical possibility rather than a confirmed feature.
The standard PS5 version currently shows no signs of QSSR support, and it remains uncertain whether this will be added via future updates. Pre-load data also allowed players to hear the game's menu music for the first time. Current performance assessments are primarily based on player interpretations of files and metadata, as Rockstar has not officially announced specific graphics modes for "GTA 6".
