Digital Foundry’s initial analysis of GTA 6’s newly released gameplay footage has praised Rockstar’s technical achievement, describing it as an exceptional example of real-time rendering on consoles. The footage, captured on a standard PS5, suggests the game aims to combine high-end visual detail with a densely populated open world, raising expectations ahead of its planned November release.

The analysts reportedly expect GTA 6 to run at 30 frames per second on base PS5, with only occasional single-frame drops. They highlighted character models, hair simulation, skin and sweat effects, ray-traced lighting, and an extensive NPC system that can render hundreds of people as particular strengths; however, the final game’s performance and visual quality remain to be confirmed at launch.
