PS5 Version of GTA6 Runs at 30fps Base, High Frame-Rate Mode ‘Still Under Consideration’ for Post-Launch — Sparks Firestorm on 5ch’s Console Wars Board

From our other sites

The story

A thread mocking the hype around the PS5 version of GTA6 popped up on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry (Console Wars) board. It borrowed its format wholesale from an earlier trolling thread titled “Everyone’s hyped about Elden Ring on Switch 2,” setting off the kind of console-war bickering the board is known for. Amid the flame war, though, the thread also shared the info that the PS5 version of GTA6 runs at a base 30fps, with a high-frame-rate mode still “under consideration” for a post-launch update — along with reports that overseas media has praised the game’s technical chops.

It's always the same stuff lately
feels like people just say it because everyone else is saying it.

Because Nishi-kun (a mocking nickname for Nintendo fanboys on this board) has more fun trash-talking than actually playing games.
38AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:43
This thread grew bigger than the Re: #19 thread and pulled in a crowd of different IDs — which, ironically, proves Re: #5 has the reality exactly backwards. A real "hardworking fool" of a thread.
6AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:37
That's because Nishi-kun loves badmouthing the competition.
9AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:38
Nishi-kun, who just loves dragging other people down.
10AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:38
What do you all think set this guy off lately?
Is it because GTA6's outlook looks shaky? Or did something develop with that distribution/leak report thing?
14AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:38
Nishi-kun's having fun over there!
Pay attention to me too!
So frustrating!
I'm so frustrated I'm making a thread to bash him!

Re: #14
That's because Nishi-kun's a dimwit.

🐷 "Trash-talking the competition is fun, oink!" (mocking Nintendo fans as "Nintendo pigs")

[Quoting the original thread, Re: #1]

"Retard" (ableist net slang used here as an insult): "Everyone's hyped about Elden Ring on Switch 2! Unforgivable! Gah gah, gah gah, GRAAAH!!"

Seriously, just bring GTA6 to the Switch 2 already…
26AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:40
Re: #25
Oh, so Nishi-kun actually wants to play GTA6?
29AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:41
Guess Nishi-kun's just jealous of GTA6.
32AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:42
Whether Nishi-kun wants to play GTA, and whether he ends up buying it or not —
none of that has anything to do with us, and honestly we couldn't care less.

Either way, somehow he ends up taking damage and getting irritated.
There's just one guy here with a Nishi-kun addiction.

Re: #30
Yeah, Palworld threads have completely stopped popping up too.
35AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:42
Is it really hyped though?
Even outside this thread all I see is talk about the 30fps thing lol
42AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:43
Re: #35
Where exactly, outside this thread?
Link please.
47AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:44
Guess Nishi-kun really wants to play GTA6.
48AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:45
Does Nishi-kun even play Nintendo games? What does he even enjoy day to day?
51AnonymousAug 29, 2026 09:45
Well of course — since GTA6's not coming to Switch 2, trash-talking it is all he's got left to do.
77AnonymousAug 29, 2026 10:45
The FPS situation on PS5 Pro isn't fully locked to 30fps yet — more details to come later.

On the base PS5 it runs at a smooth 30fps, but details on a performance mode haven't been revealed yet.
Regarding enhanced PS5 Pro support, Rockstar has confirmed it will talk about FPS modes and PS5 Pro enhancements at a later date.

GTA6 High Frame-Rate Mode

Digital Foundry: GTA 6: "Possibly the most impressive showcase we've ever seen"
– The tech is off the charts
– No major frame-rate drops — only an extremely rare single-frame dip
– Captured on base PS5 — looks even better on PS5 Pro
– A high frame-rate mode is under consideration for a post-launch update

Since it's not being sold on disc, they reportedly still have about three months left to carefully consider it and get it working.

Re: #77
You're spamming that same post everywhere, but "under consideration for a post-launch update" basically already confirms it's locked at 30fps lol
"Three months left to carefully consider" — they've spent years building this and still couldn't pull it off, and you think three months is gonna do it? You feeling okay? lol
83AnonymousAug 29, 2026 11:01
Re: #77
Why haven't they revealed it yet, I wonder? Kinda suspicious.
If they could announce it, announcing it early would put users' minds at ease — so why the delay?
79AnonymousAug 29, 2026 10:50
Capped at 30fps even with graphics this crappy…
The "real" GTA6 experience is only possible on a high-end gaming PC.
82AnonymousAug 29, 2026 10:58
Re: #80
That leak was from a build a year old and it already looked that lame — three months should be plenty lol
85AnonymousAug 29, 2026 11:03
Re: #82
Then just go ahead and announce it already.
"Under consideration," give me a break lol
86AnonymousAug 29, 2026 11:09
I don't see a single person here
actually talking about the game's content though.
90AnonymousAug 29, 2026 11:27
Re: #86
Well, of course not.
Even after all these sequels, you still do the same stuff.
91AnonymousAug 29, 2026 11:30
Re: #86
Compared to past entries, both the cops and civilians have been beefed up so it's harder to go on a rampage — nothing much to talk about lol
99AnonymousAug 29, 2026 12:10
Feels like overseas players might end up going back to GTA5.
100AnonymousAug 29, 2026 12:19
Re: #99
A lot of overseas GTA players are bashing GTA6 lol

Background and Key Points

Threads like this one follow a recurring template on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry (Console Wars) board that mocks rival console fanbases, and the thread title itself parodies an earlier thread (quoted in reply >>19) titled “Everyone’s hyped about Elden Ring on Switch 2.” The actual substance of the discussion centers on GTA6’s frame-rate specs: the base PS5 version reportedly runs at 30fps, while high-frame-rate support for PS5 Pro is described as “under consideration” for a post-launch update. Some replies are skeptical that this “under consideration” wording effectively means 30fps is locked in for good — and it’s worth noting that, as of this article, the official specs have not yet been finalized.
