Does GTA 6 support 3D audio?
Sony lists Tempest 3D Audio among the game's PS5 features, with audio positioning used for all in-game sounds. It's the same on a regular PS5 and a Pro.
On every PS5, including the Pro, the game uses DualSense haptics, adaptive triggers and the controller speaker, plus Tempest 3D Audio and faster loading from the console SSD.

Which headsets work with GTA 6 3D audio?
Any stereo headphones do, plugged into the DualSense's 3.5mm jack or connected over USB. Sony's own headsets are built for it: the PULSE 3D headset and the PULSE Elite headset, which also pairs with PlayStation Portal. Sony's GTA 6 guide points to the PULSE wireless headset too.
PS5 Pro plays 3D audio through built-in TV speakers or analog or USB stereo headphones, after a one-time setup.

What to look for in a headset for GTA 6
Comfort over long sessions matters more than anything on the spec sheet. Wired headphones need nothing extra. For wireless ones, check that the listing says it works with PS5 and how it connects. GTA 6 is single-player, so a microphone only matters if you chat in a party while you play.
How do you turn on 3D audio on PS5 Pro?
For headphones, go to Settings > Sound > 3D Audio (Headphones), create your personal profile and turn on Enable 3D Audio for Headphones. TV speakers have their own measurement under 3D Audio (TV). Every step is on the PS5 Pro setup page.
