DetectiveSeeds, one of the gaming world’s most trusted leakers, in his recent leak, has announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 improved to run at a consistent 60 frames per second on the yet-to-be-released PlayStation 5 Pro. This marks the first ever milestone for Rockstar’s flagship open-world rack. The leak said that this feat was made happen by a historic collaboration between the Rockstar developers and PlayStation engineers.
The partnership that grants an unfair skill-level advantage to both brands would leverage “new tech” that would be implemented in PS5 Pro, with GTA 6 featuring multiple graphics settings tailored for Sony’s upgraded console, said the report. The internal target for the release of GTA 6 is May 2026, with optimization efforts ramping up ahead of what many expect to be a console-defining launch.
PlayStation Engineers Behind the Optimization Push
As reported by the leaks, the PlayStation engineers aren’t just assisting the development of GTA 6. Rather, they’re part of many more unmade projects under the banner of Rockstar. This unusual alliance seems to be fuelled by strategic marketing moves by Sony (the PlayStation’s parent company) and Rockstar Games.
This collaboration echoes past successes, such as Sony’s timed-exclusive content deals with Activision’s Call of Duty franchise, and may signal an even tighter integration between platform and publisher in the years ahead. The collaboration also renders Sony early access to builds and optimisation layers, normally exclusive to the internal development department.
PS5 Pro + GTA 6 Bundle: A System Seller in the Making
If the rumours hold to its words, as has been the case with Detectiveseeds’ previous leaks, then GTA 6 will be launched alongside a calculative PlayStation 5 Pro bundle. Such simultaneous release could trigger one of the most gigantic console sales in the recent history of PlayStation.
The warrant for this prediction is reportedly locked down on the marketing rights for GTA 6 on PS5. This shows that the company is betting big on the long-anticipated sequel to be a cultural and commercial juggernaut. Both the Tech insiders and leakers mutually dub this bundle “the biggest system seller ever,”.
Strategic Timing, Maximum Hype
The move to launch this bundle, combining the GTA 6 with 60FPS on PS5 Pro, is not merely a tech-flex; it’s a business masterstroke. In times like these, where hardware upgrades are rendered useless without accurate software support, this pairing feels like a redefinition of next-gen console cycle. So it appears that for Sony the move is not just to sell a game, but to provide its users an ecosystem built around premium performance and blockbuster exclusivity.
