According to a former Rockstar developer, the realism in GTA 6 will “astonish players.”

The release date for GTA 6 is just around the corner, and the game is rumored to aim for photorealism. Previous leaks hinted at more complex gameplay mechanics compared to previous titles, promising an immersive experience that’s set to captivate players.

Many fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment of Grand Theft Auto, hoping it will be the pinnacle of the series. A recent statement from a former Rockstar developer has only added to the intrigue — according to him, GTA 6 will offer an unprecedented level of realism.

In the latest episode of the podcast “GTA VI O’clock,” former Rockstar developer Ben Hinchcliffe discussed the team’s work on the new entry. With experience on projects like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5, and GTA 6, Hinchcliffe’s words carry substantial weight. He believes that the new game will not only impress but truly astonish players.

Hinchcliffe highlighted the commitment to realism in GTA 6, commending the studio’s efforts in this direction. He explained that each new Rockstar release pushes the boundaries of realism, setting a new standard for the Grand Theft Auto series.

“Every aspect of the game is moving towards greater realism. It’s going to blow people away. I think they’ve raised the bar once again,” he added.

Rockstar is already renowned for its commitment to maximum realism, as Red Dead Redemption 2 demonstrated. Even six years after its release, the game continues to impress. Now, the question is how far Rockstar will go with GTA 6.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was sometimes criticized for its “excessive” realism, so perhaps the studio will strike a more balanced approach this time. While specific details remain scarce, fans can rest assured that they are in for a new level of graphical fidelity, realism, and open-world possibilities.
