Does GTA 6 need PS Plus or GTA+? Game and subscription guide

The console, HDMI cable, television input and display mode work together. Start with the PS5 display-area check when edges are cropped. Then inspect the supported signal and HDR configuration, using the screen in the same room light you expect to play in.
A television advertising a refresh rate does not establish GTA VI’s frame rate. Platform feature support and measured game performance answer different questions. Choose changes for a visible problem in your own setup.
Put sound where you expect it
Check the active audio output, headphone connection and controller speaker independently. A comfortable volume in one path can leave another path louder than you intended.
Use the confirmed feature guide to understand the PS5 listing, then use the screen and controller guides to turn it into a room that feels right. Keep your existing hardware decision separate from edition and subscription choices.
