GTA 6 PS5 Pro Leak: PSSR and Ray Tracing, or a Copy-Paste Job?
A pulled PlayStation France listing claimed PSSR and ray tracing for GTA 6 on PS5 Pro. Its text matches Ghost of Yōtei's page. Here's what's confirmed.
Did PlayStation just reveal what GTA 6 does on PS5 Pro? A screenshot of a PlayStation France page, reportedly pulled soon after it went up, lists PSSR upscaling and advanced ray tracing for Grand Theft Auto VI. But there's a catch: the same page describes the controller rumble as feeling "Atsu's katana" strikes, and Atsu is the hero of Ghost of Yōtei, not GTA 6. Here's what the listing said, why it looks like a copy-paste job, and what's actually confirmed.
What the leaked listing said
According to the screenshot shared online, the page carried an "Enhanced for PS5 Pro" section with two features:
- PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR): "incredibly sharp image clarity on your 4K television thanks to AI-enhanced resolution".
- Advanced ray tracing: "a higher level of realism with superior-quality reflections, shadows, and overall lighting".
GTA BOOM says the rest of the page read like a finished product listing, with Tempest 3D Audio, fast SSD loading, DualSense haptics and a note that there's no PS4 version.
Nobody is quite sure where it first appeared. Reports point to a Reddit post that has since been deleted, a screenshot shared on X, and even a deleted PlayStation France tweet. Neither Sony nor Rockstar has commented.
Why it's probably a template, not a leak
We compared the leaked wording with PlayStation France's live pages. The PS5 Pro text is the same as on the page for Ghost of Yōtei, Sony's own samurai game. That page uses the same PSSR and ray tracing sentences, and its haptics section says Atsu's katana strikes "come to life" in your hands. That's exactly the line that turned up in the GTA listing.
The real GTA VI page on PlayStation France tells a different story. It shows the PS5 Pro Enhanced badge and an "Optimisé pour la PS5 Pro" (optimized for PS5 Pro) feature with no description. Its haptics text talks about Leonida, not katanas.
So the most likely explanation is that someone at Sony, or whoever made the screenshot, filled a draft GTA page with the generic PS5 Pro text from another game. Several outlets have raised the same doubts and called it a possible template error. That doesn't mean GTA 6 won't use PSSR or ray tracing on PS5 Pro. It means this listing doesn't prove it.
What's actually confirmed for GTA 6 on PS5 Pro
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| PS5 Pro Enhanced badge | Official |
| PSSR upscaling | Not confirmed: only in the disputed listing |
| Advanced ray tracing | Not confirmed: only in the disputed listing |
| Frame rate | Reportedly targeting 30fps on consoles, with a 60fps option undecided |
Sony and Rockstar still haven't detailed the PS5 Pro version. PlayStation's November 3 blog post, which walked players through four steps before launch, didn't mention the Pro at all. We cover what's known and what's realistic in our GTA 6 PS5 Pro Enhanced explainer.
Thinking of upgrading? The $400 trade-in
There's another reason the PS5 Pro is in the news. Some US PS5 owners have been offered up to $400 to trade in their console, through a program run with Back Market that pays cash rather than store credit. With the PS5 Pro at $899.99, TweakTown points out that a top trade-in could bring the upgrade down to around $500.
Our advice hasn't changed: don't buy a PS5 Pro for GTA 6 until Sony or Rockstar says what it actually does. If that happens before November 19, we'll update this page. Either way, the game needs up to 212GB, so check how much storage GTA 6 needs before pre-loading opens on November 10.
