Now that Grand Theft Auto 6 is being installed on consoles, dataminers are having a field day uncovering new tidbits. One of the most intriguing details reveals a 120Hz mode on consoles, but it doesn’t seem like high frame rate offerings are likely, nor is VRR Support on PS5 Pro.
Grand Theft Auto 6 likely single-handedly boosted PS5 Pro numbers, as GTA 6 plays best on PS5, according to Rockstar and Sony, and there was hope a 60 FPS mode could be possible on PS5 Pro. New data mining has potentially answered some of these questions.

GTA Could Have 40 FPS Mode as 120Hz Mode Discovered
According to renowned GTA leaker Tex2: ‘It [GTA 6] does support a 120hz / High Framerate mode, but no VRR. Offering 40fps mode is up to Rockstar.’

The leaker revealed this information in the GTAForums. The first thing this datamined info seems to confirm is that 60 FPS is not happening, because neither PS5 model can sustain it.
Tex2 added: ‘This is for PSSR, or what Sony internally refers to as Multi-Frame Super Resolution. Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Shadows have their version set as 13.00A aka PSSR2. So it seems like GTAVI will have a special newer version of PSSR2.’
VRR stands for variable refresh rate, and is a newer innovation which is designed to match your TV’s refresh rate with the console, to improve and stabilize performance. Whereas PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), according to Sony: ‘PSSR is an AI library that analyzes game images pixel by pixel as it upscales them, and it’s been used to boost the effective resolution of over 50 titles on PS5 Pro to date.’
It seems like Rockstar and Sony have done their best to get the mammoth game to run as smoothly as possible, whilst utilizing many of PS5’s hardware-using features.
But that’s not all, GTA 6 datamines have also revealed multiplayer references for the future.
