GTA 6 on PS5: DualSense, 3D Audio, and SSD
For GTA 6 on the PS5, Sony has outlined four comfort features: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, an integrated controller speaker, and Tempest 3D AudioTech. This “ultra-fast SSD” aims to load the expansive world of the fictional state of Leonida without lengthy wait times.

PS5 Pro Enhanced for GTA 6: Confirmation Without Details
The PlayStation Store lists GTA 6 with the label “PS5 Pro Enhanced,” but specific technical improvements for the more powerful console are not detailed by Sony. Higher dynamic resolutions, the new in-house AI upscaling known as PSSR Enhanced or PSSR 2.0 based on FSR 4.1, and various enhancements are expected features for the PS5 Pro.
The news about the Pro enhancement first surfaced on the New Zealand pre-order page, where sales had already started due to the time zone difference. What exactly this enhancement entails remains unclear as both Sony and Rockstar have not elaborated. Other optimized titles have utilized the PS5 Pro’s stronger GPU and PSSR upscaling for higher resolutions and improved lighting and frame rates.
