GTA 6 preload goes live, and data mining reveals PSSR 2 support and 120Hz mode for PS5 Pro
Table of Contents
After waiting for more than a decade, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S users will finally be able to dive into GTA 6 soon, as the game will launch on November 19. In the past few months, Rockstar Games has shared a lot of new information about the game, including gameplay details, screenshots, and more. And now, new information discovered in the gameโs preload data suggests the PS5 Pro could receive some interesting enhancements.
Preloading is currently live (as of midnight on November 10), meaning those who purchased GTA 6 can start downloading the game files, ready for when the game launches. In the meantime, some players have already started examining the gameโs files and metadata to uncover hidden details.
One of them is GTAForums user Tex2, who discovered that GTA 6โs preload data includes references to a 120Hz High Framerate mode. This is interesting, considering there have been concerns about whether the game will be able to run above 30 FPS, even on the more powerful PS5 Pro. However, itโs worth noting that the presence of a 120Hz mode doesnโt translate to 120 FPS, as the game could still be locked to 30 FPS on the Pro model.

PSSR in GTA 6 spotted for the second time
The user has also made a major discovery related to PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, popularly known as PSSR. The preload data reportedly references PSSR version 13.60, which is newer than the 13.00 version used by games such as Cyberpunk 2077. In other words, Sony could be preparing a newer version for GTA 6 that could deliver better image quality or performance. PSSR support was already seemingly confirmed last week, when some PS5 marketing info went live earlier than expected.
The metadata also reportedly includes references to a CPU High Frequency mode, which could help the console handle some of the game’s more demanding tasks. That said, none of this confirms that GTA 6 will offer a 40 FPS or 60 FPS performance mode. The new information comes from preload metadata, and Rockstar has not officially confirmed anything about the gameโs graphics settings yet.
