There's still a year left until the release of GTA 6, and players can't stop guessing what Rockstar Games will surprise them with this time. Recently, a former designer from the studio joined the discussion — according to him, the new part of the crime action will reach an incredible level of realism.
Recently, the YouTube channel GTA VI O'clock interviewed Ben Hinchliffe, who worked on L.A. Noire, GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and even the sixth part before leaving Rockstar in 2021. He was privy to many details of the game, including content and plot, and he was very impressed by the progress over the past three years. When asked whether the studio will be able to surprise players again, Ben Hinchliffe answered positively:
You only have to look at how every game Rockstar has done has evolved in some way. You could argue that every element of the game moves forward in terms of feeling more realistic and people acting and behaving more realistic as every game is iterated through each cycle... It will blow people away. It will sell an absolute tone as it always does. People have been taking about it for ages after GTA 5 and I'm really excited for people to get their hands on it and play it, just because I think [Rockstar] has raised the bar again just like they always do.
His words are confirmed by a two-year-old leak of gameplay footage from the GTA 6 build. Even at the time of development, some screenshots were close to photorealism, so we can expect that the graphics from the trailer reflect the real state of the project.
Let us remind you that GTA 6 will be released in the fall of 2025 on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. As for the PC version, you will have to wait for it.
