Early downloadable files for Grand Theft Auto VI have appeared on console servers ahead of its November 19 release date, giving enthusiasts a preview of the title's technical setup. Datamines of the packages on Sony backend servers and Xbox platforms indicate the game incorporates upscaling frameworks tailored to different hardware. Rockstar officially confirmed that Sony's AI-driven PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution will be available in the game, and file inspections point to PlayStation 5 Pro support alongside an upscaling implementation on Xbox Series X and Series S consoles.

According to the datamined flags reported on ResetEra, the game file references PSSR version 13.60 on the PlayStation 5 Pro. The code also reveals support for a 120Hz display output without variable refresh rate enabled, suggesting a potential 40fps performance mode could be offered alongside the 30fps baseline shown in previous footage. On Microsoft's side, an analysis of the Xbox Series package indicates that AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution is present in the files, meaning some version of the technology will be available at launch.

The findings arrive as platform holders race to differentiate image quality and frame rates on modern hardware. Microsoft's consoles were recently listed for upcoming FSR 4.1 support, though Notebookcheck notes that arrival of that specific version in time for launch remains unlikely. How these different scaling tools will affect final visual clarity across the base PlayStation 5, the PS5 Pro, and both Xbox Series consoles will become clear when the title arrives on store shelves.
