The short answer

There are no official GTA 6 display settings yet, so there is no "best" setting for the game. Rockstar has not said whether it supports HDR, 120 Hz or VRR, and neither store listing shows a resolution or frame rate. Confirmed What you can do now is set up your console and TV so that every feature is available when the game arrives on November 19, 2026.

PS5 settings to check

All paths below are from PlayStation's support pages. Unconfirmed

Prepare a PS5

  1. Open Settings, Screen and Video, Video Output. Select Video Output Information to see what your TV reports for resolution, VRR and HDR.
  2. Set Resolution to Automatic so the console picks the highest your TV supports.
  3. Turn on HDR and choose Always On or On When Supported. Always On converts non-HDR games to HDR output.
  4. Select Adjust HDR and follow the prompts.
  5. Turn on VRR. The Apply to Unsupported Games option can steady frame rates in games without native VRR.
  6. Turn on 120 Hz Output if your TV supports it.
  7. Leave ALLM on Automatic. PlayStation says ALLM stays active with VRR even if set to Off.
  8. Use the HDMI cable in the box, or an Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable, for 4K at 120 Hz.

PlayStation's Pro page says the PS5 Pro supports 60 Hz and 120 Hz displays. Confirmed Whether GTA 6 uses 120 Hz is unknown.

Xbox Series X|S settings to check

Xbox's TV guide points to these menus. Unconfirmed

  • Check the TV: Settings, General, TV and Display Options, 4K TV details. Green checks show what your TV supports.
  • Refresh rate: under TV and Display Options. Some TVs reach 120 Hz only at certain resolutions or on certain HDMI ports.
  • ALLM, VRR and Auto HDR: the guide names all three as Series X|S features. Advanced ones need an HDMI 2.1 connection.
  • HDR: look for a "Calibrate HDR for games" option in the same menu. We saw this path in search results but did not open a Microsoft page for it, so confirm on your console. Unconfirmed

Microsoft lists Series X at up to 120 fps in supported content, and Series S at a 1440p target. Unconfirmed Neither number says what GTA 6 will do.

TV maker settings

Game mode settings from TV makers
BrandWhat the official page says
LGOpen All Settings, General, Game Optimizer. ALLM can be toggled there. Some picture controls lock while it is on
SamsungGame Mode turns on by itself when it detects a console. Use the HDMI port marked with the game icon for 4K at 120 Hz. Input Signal Plus sits under Connection, External Device Manager

LG and Samsung both document these steps for their TVs. Unconfirmed Menu names differ by model and year, so check your manual. We did not open a Sony support page, so we give no Sony steps.

A calm launch-week routine

Do this before November 19

If a feature looks wrong in a test game, turn it off and test again. Do not tune for GTA 6 until its modes are known. Estimate

What is the best TV setting for GTA 6?

There is none yet. GTA 6 display modes are not announced. Confirmed

Does GTA 6 support 120 Hz or VRR?

Not announced. Neither store listing mentions either. Confirmed

Should I turn on Game mode?

Yes, for any game. LG and Samsung both document game modes that cut input delay. Unconfirmed

Do I need HDMI 2.1?

Microsoft says advanced features need HDMI 2.1. Whether GTA 6 uses them is unknown. Unconfirmed
