GTA VI is now available for pre-loading on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, and Rockstar Games just shared more details about the game’s PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements. The developer also confirmed that the game will be available on Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service, though with some caveats.
Rockstar Games has a marketing deal with Sony for GTA VI, and the game was already being advertised as playing best on PS5. Rockstar Games confirmed today that GTA VI targets 30 FPS on both PlayStation and Xbox consoles, though players will have the best experience on the PS5 Pro.
“The PlayStation 5 Pro offers breathtaking visuals, with improved clarity through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and ray-traced shadows only available on PlayStation 5 Pro,” Rockstar Games said today. “Grand Theft Auto VI for PS5 includes high-fidelity haptic feedback fully integrated across the game on DualSense controllers and adjustable via accessibility settings, improved spatial audio rendering so all in-game sounds take full advantage of Tempest 3D Audio, and improved load times, making Grand Theft Auto VI play best on PlayStation 5 consoles.”
On Xbox consoles, a picture of the game’s physical case shared on X indicates that GTA VI supports Dolby Vision for Gaming, Dolby Atmos, as well as the Xbox Controller’s impulse triggers. Regarding Xbox Cloud Gaming support, Rockstar Games confirmed that access will be limited to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles. Moreover, cloud-enabled Xbox games always use Xbox Series S graphics settings, and GTA VI will be no exception.
Lastly, Rockstar Games said that GTA VI will support Remote Play on both PlayStation and Xbox. This means that players who own the game and have it installed on their consoles will be able to stream it for free on other devices.
GTA VI will be released on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on Thursday, November 19. On my Xbox Series X, the game is taking a hefty 209.86GB of storage, so Rockstar Games is well advised to leave players a little more than a week to pre-load it.
