Digital Foundry said in an analysis of yesterday’s presentation GTA 6’s graphics might be the most impressive yet In terms of quality and detail, the price paid is obvious though: the frame rate is locked at 30 fps.
It gives the impression that the developers at Rockstar Games spent approx. 33.3 milliseconds per divisionthus trying to take full advantage of this technical choice, aiming to pursue higher frame rates without sacrificing visual complexity.
One of the most striking aspects is the characters: Quality of skin, hair and textures It looks noticeably better than Rockstar Games’ previous games, with hair in particular being simulated to a much higher level and looking convincing even during normal gameplay.

Skin also benefits from a more advanced shading system, with specular reflections, sweat and makeup helping to achieve a more realistic rendering, while body lighting looks particularly convincing in the hot, humid environments shown in the film: it seems to face the intermission sequencebut the graphics in the game.
Lighting is the main aspect
What stood out most during the GTA 6 demo was Global lighting in ray tracingwhich brings an unprecedented sense of realism to the game world, which behaves differently depending on the surface it hits.
Such a rich setting of characters and objects seems to be the real protagonist of GTA 6, Digital Foundry estimates The actual resolution of the game is approximately 1440pand then upscaled it to 4K through a relatively simple reconstruction process.
Finally, regarding the question Frame ratethe sequence shown seems to be quite stable, so the developers seem to have hit the 30 fps target well, but there are still strong doubts about the possible arrival of a 60 fps mode.
