GTA VI Specs: PS5 Pro vs Xbox Series S Performance

Analysis of GTA VI demos reveals significant performance differences between consoles. The base PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X target a stable 30 frames per second at an internal resolution of 1440p, utilizing upscaling for final output; achieving 60 frames per second is considered virtually impossible due to the game's heavy CPU demands for crowd AI and physics.

In contrast, the PlayStation 5 Pro utilizes its enhanced graphics subsystem and PSSR technology (version 13.60) to upscale resolution closer to crisp 4K with minimal artifacts. It supports a balanced mode of up to 40 frames per second on 120Hz displays while offering advanced ray tracing settings.

The Xbox Series S, being an entry-level console with limited RAM and GPU power, must reduce its internal resolution dynamically between 720p and 1080p to maintain a stable frame rate. Ray tracing features are heavily optimized on this platform by significantly reducing reflection map resolutions.
