GTA 6 became shrouded in absolute secrecy and became a project that Rockstar openly acknowledged, as well as one of the most anticipated in the world of video games. Just a few days ago we saw that the well-known studio decided to reduce the resources intended for other fronts in order to allocate them to the development of GTA 6, and now Rockstar has said that they want “raise the bar”

They need all those resources to do it, and they’re working hard on GTA 6, but what exactly does Rockstar mean by “raising the bar”? It’s a good question, and the study itself gave us the answer by saying that they want to “go beyond what they’ve offered before” and that “This new part has to be the best possible.

This comment clearly indicates that Rockstar wants to “revolutionize” the franchise with GTA 6, and this corresponds to information that said that this van could be exclusive to the next generation of consoles. It is this exclusivity that would give the well-known studio the base it needs at the hardware level to introduce truly disruptive innovations, and allow it to do without the limitations that the PS4 and Xbox One impose on any development today.

It will be interesting to see what Rockstar finally comes up with with GTA 6, but I think we can expect a significant jump on the technical and gameplay level. From a technical point of view, I am fully convinced that the standardization of SSDs in next-gen consoles will allow Rockstar to createn a vast world, much richer in detail and with an unprecedented breadth. On the other hand, the greater CPU and GPU performance of these consoles will also allow a higher density of NPCs that will have higher AI and better animations at the same timeand we’ll probably run into ray tracing.

If everything goes according to plan and there are no delays, the launch of GTA 6 will take place between late 2023 and mid-2024. Some sources have pointed to 2024–2025, something that the source, well-known insider Tom Henderson, justifies by saying that the date responds to Rockstar’s need to remove the criticism it received for its culture of “crushing” its workers. There is no consensus on a possible release date, but we can say that it is still quite far away.
