The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has caused a stir among fans, not only for the new content it presents but also for the visual quality it promises. Rockstar Games has revealed that much of this trailer was recorded using the PlayStation 5, suggesting that the game will reach impressive graphical standards at its launch, scheduled for May 2026.
The dream of playing the game at 4K and 60fps is not dead
Additionally, the company Sony is developing a revolutionary technology called PSSR, aimed at improving image quality and performance of video games on the PS5, with capabilities reaching up to 4K at 120 FPS and 8K at 60 FPS. This improvement in visual technology would not only benefit GTA VI, but also has the potential to elevate other titles to the highest graphical level available on the console.
It has been whispered that a second version of this technology, known as PSSR 2, will allow the PS5 Pro to achieve even more impressive graphics starting from a base resolution of just 864p, scaling thanks to an artificial intelligence algorithm. The leaker Moore’s Law is Dead indicates that this improvement also aims to optimize game performance, removing the limit on the frames per second and thus allowing for a smoother gaming experience.
With the expected implementation of PSSR before the release of GTA VI, it is anticipated that the game will not only meet the high expectations regarding gameplay but could also provide a graphical quality that surpasses what has been seen so far. The details shown in the trailer may only be a glimpse of the real potential that this new title from Rockstar will offer to players with the PS5 Pro.
