According to John Ricchio, former Rockstar Games technical director who worked at GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption, it could be difficult for GTA VI to reach the 60 frames per second stablely on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles at the time of launch. Ricchio, during a podcast with Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly, highlighted the challenges related to the management of the next generation hardware, considering the ambition and the vastness of the open world planned for GTA VI. Ricchio's statements suggest that Rockstar could favour graphical fidelity and object density compared to a constant frame rate, given the historic reluctance of the study to compromise visual quality in its top titles. Numerous indiscretions from dealer boards indicate that GTA 6 will be available in both 30 FPS and 60 FPS modes on the two consoles, although Rockstar has not yet confirmed this information. Ricchio's observations are in line with what reported by Digital Foundry in previous weeks, which identified the CPU as the main bottleneck for GTA 6, given the enormous processing power required by traffic and physics simulation, especially at the high speeds reached by car, boat or plane players. Digital Foundry believes that a 40 FPS mode is more realistic on the PS5 Pro, enhanced console with improved GPU. In further development, updated Xbox Store tabs suggested the possibility to separately download GTA 6's history and online modes, offering players the flexibility to save storage space if they want to leave the campaign in favor of multiplayer mode. Rockstar has not released comments on this option. Le dichiarazioni di John Ricchio, pur essendo in linea con quanto già evidenziato da Digital Foundry e confermate dalle prime indiscrezioni sulle schede dei rivenditori, sollevano una preoccupazione concreta riguardo alle aspettative dei giocatori sulla PS5 e Xbox Series X|S. L'idea che Rockstar possa privilegiare la qualità grafica a scapito di un frame rate costante è, data la storia dello studio, non del tutto inaspettata, ma l'enfasi sull’hardware come "collo di bottiglia" – in particolare la CPU – e le stime sulla probabile modalità a 40 FPS su PS5 Pro, suggeriscono una visione più realistica e meno ambiziosa rispetto ad alcuni potenziali ipotetici consumatori. La menzione della flessibilità offerta dalle modalità storia e online scaricabili separatamente, sebbene rappresenti un'opzione interessante per la gestione dello spazio di archiviazione, non mitiga l'effetto di una possibile limitazione del frame rate, lasciando un margine di incertezza che probabilmente peserà sulle aspettative dei fan.
