Grand Theft Auto VI pre-loading is now available for digital pre-order customers on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players who purchased a code-in-box version can also activate their code and begin downloading as soon as they receive it.
Alongside the pre-load announcement, Rockstar shared details about the game’s 30 frames-per-second target, PS5 Pro features, controller support, and cloud streaming options. The publisher also released a new video featuring “Blood in Your Eyes” by Tove Lo, a track from Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album.
GTA VI Targets 30 FPS on Current Consoles
Rockstar says Grand Theft Auto VI targets 30 FPS, prioritizing environmental density and visual detail across Leonida. The announcement describes a game built for the current console generation, with no higher-frame-rate mode detailed.
On PlayStation 5 Pro, the game uses PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, or PSSR, to improve image clarity. Rockstar also confirms that ray-traced shadows are exclusive to PS5 Pro.
The announcement does not specify resolution targets or break down graphical settings between the standard PS5 and Xbox Series consoles.
PS5 Adds DualSense Haptics and Tempest 3D Audio
The PS5 version includes DualSense haptic feedback integrated throughout the game. You can adjust that feedback through the accessibility settings.
Rockstar also highlights spatial audio rendering using Tempest 3D Audio, along with improved loading times. These features form part of the publisher’s PlayStation-specific presentation details, separate from the PS5 Pro’s additional image processing and shadow effects.
Xbox One Players Can Access GTA VI Through Cloud Gaming
Grand Theft Auto VI will support Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, using Xbox Series S graphics settings.
That gives Xbox One owners a streaming option instead of a native Xbox One release. Rockstar notes that connection speed and other technical factors can affect the streamed experience in ways that do not apply to local play.
The game will also fully support Remote Play on PlayStation and Xbox.
If you have a digital pre-order, you can begin pre-loading now. Further information and official videos are available through the Grand Theft Auto VI website.
