Exciting news has emerged as Sony reportedly gears up for a significant software update expected in May 2026, coinciding with the highly anticipated release of GTA 6. According to recent leaks, this update aims to ensure that GTA 6 runs smoothly at 60 FPS on the PS5 Pro, thanks to a collaborative effort between Rockstar and Sony engineers.
The insider, Detective Seeds, reveals that this partnership is part of a strategic marketing agreement designed to optimize GTA 6 for the PS5 Pro. The game is anticipated to offer multiple graphical settings, all maintaining a consistent 60 FPS, a feat currently expected to be exclusive to the PS5 Pro.
In addition to boosting GTA 6, this collaboration might also pave the way for other upcoming Rockstar titles to enjoy similar frame rate enhancements. While no specific titles have been named, the potential for smoother gameplay has certainly captured attention. Moreover, the marketing deal is rumored to introduce enticing GTA 6 and PS bundles.
Earlier, the same leaker hinted at an extensive update for the PS5 Pro, projected for a May 2026 rollout. Gamers are speculating that this could include a groundbreaking 60 FPS upgrade for GTA 6, potentially aligning with the game’s release on May 26, 2026. This update might arrive as a day-one addition or be released shortly before the game’s debut.
It’s important to note that Sony has yet to confirm these developments. Historically, Rockstar games on the PS5 have been limited to 30 FPS, with titles like GTA V reaching 1440p/60 FPS on the PS5 Pro. Additionally, the second GTA 6 trailer, captured on a base PS5, maintained a 30 FPS cap. As fans eagerly await more details, the promise of enhanced gameplay performance is generating considerable excitement.
