IGN Craves GTA6 on PC More Than Ever! PS5 Isn't Enough, 30fps with Drops

Summary

After Rockstar unveiled a substantial 27-minute gameplay look at GTA6, IGN quickly published an op-ed saying the demo actually made them yearn for the PC version even more. Author Jackie Thomas praised the incredible real-time ray-traced global illumination, reflections, and shadows, which truly bring the world to life—such as moments where shadows dynamically sweep across a stranger's face during a conversation. But the article also pointed out that while the demo ran on a base PS5 and featured stunning lake visuals, there were noticeable framerate dips. Brazilian YouTuber Davy Jones reportedly revealed the game suffers performance issues on all consoles. This commentary has sparked discussions about optimization on current gen and the potential of a PC release. For players, it suggests GTA6 on PC may deliver higher framerates and better image quality, while console gamers might face compromises. For the industry, it's another example of new consoles being pushed to their limits with top-tier visuals, while fueling anticipation for the inevitable PC port.
