GTA 6 Preload Data Reveals New PlayStation 5 Pro PSSR 2 Version, While 120Hz Support Keeps A 40 FPS Mode Possible

GTA 6 is set to be one of the best-looking open-world games ever released, marking a new beginning for the genre as a whole, but the game's release in 10 days is reportedly coinciding with the launch of a new version of the PlayStation 5 Pro PSSR upscaler, which could make it easier for the game to deliver the incredible visual quality showcased in the latest launch screenshots.

As preloading has now begun in New Zealand, the game's encrypted files and metadata are available, allowing users to poke around and discover any unannounced features. As highlighted by Tex2 on GTAForums, the game supports a "120hz / High Framerate mode, but no VRR," so the possibility still remains of a 40 FPS mode on the Pro. Also, the data revealed that GTA 6 could support a new version of the PSSR 2 upscaler, as it shows support for version 13.60, compared to the 13.00 version supported by every game to date, including Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin's Creed Shadows. Considering the significant leaps the AI-powered upscaler made since launch, it will be very interesting to see how much of a jump from version 13.00 will be version 13.60.

QSSR support for the base PlayStation 5, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be in, so it could be a post-launch addition, which wouldn't be surprising considering it was launched only a few weeks ago, and Rockstar Games may not have had enough time to implement it in time for November 19.

While the PlayStation 5 Pro was always set to be the system to get to play GTA 6 at its best at launch, the potential debut of a new version of the PSSR 2 upscaler along with the game is only going to make its release more exciting. It will be some time before the game runs with NVIDIA DLSS 5 on PC, but until then, Sony's mid-generation refresh should deliver a great experience, even without support for anything other than 30 FPS, which remains a very real possibility given the system's CPU is only slightly more powerful than the base system's.
