Sony and Rockstar Games have detailed several PS5 hardware features that Grand Theft Auto 6 will use exclusively, while confirming the title is PS5 Pro Enhanced without revealing specifics.

The lack of PS5 Pro specifics could stem from ongoing optimization by Rockstar or a desire not to complicate the core PS5 upgrade message with promotion of the $900 premium model.
