5 Interesting Facts About GTA 6: AI NPCs, Dual Protagonists, and More
GTA was launched over two decades ago, and the latest installment in the series – GTA 6 – is eagerly awaited by fans. Here are five interesting facts about the game that you may not know yet:
1. Dual Protagonists
GTA 6 is rumored to feature not one but two playable characters, a first for the GTA series. Leaks have shown a male and female protagonist duo – Jason and Lucia – in a Bonnie and Clyde type of setting, holding up a diner together. This could potentially be the first time Rockstar Games has included a female protagonist in the GTA series.
2. Elements Borrowed from RDR2
GTA 6 is expected to introduce next-generation mechanics and may also borrow features from Red Dead Redemption 2. Our protagonists are rumored to carry loot bags, allowing them to store consumables and cash, similar to Arthur Morgan’s satchel in RDR2. The game might also feature a witness and police recognition system, as well as fencing vehicles and art, drawn from RDR2’s mechanics.
3. Watch Dogs-like Hacking
GTA 6 might incorporate hacking-related features reminiscent of Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs. A leak by Tom Henderson revealed that Lucia, the female protagonist, carries devices such as Tracker Jammer, Immobilizer Bypass, USB Drive, and Auto Dialer, which might aid in hacking vehicles.
4. AI NPCs
Expect some impressive NPC interactions in GTA 6, thanks to the potential use of generative AI. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick hinted in an interview with Inverse that AI in gaming could make interactions with NPCs “really interesting and fun.” Just like Red Dead Redemption 2, NPCs in GTA 6 might have their own daily routines and conversations instead of remaining static.
5. Map DLCs
Rumored to be set in Vice City, GTA 6 might also introduce map expansion DLCs (downloadable content) to keep players engaged for years. While not much information is available regarding potential map expansions, the concept could offer even more detailed and immersive gameplay experiences.
GTA 6 might feature improved graphics that will take advantage of the latest console technology, while the game could also be optimized to run more smoothly on older consoles. The graphical updates could include improved lighting effects, detailed car models, and enhanced textures across the board. Additionally, with GTA Online now fully integrated into the game – expect some big changes in terms of optimization for both single-player and multiplayer modes.
With a return to Vice City comes an expanded storyline and side quests to keep players engrossed in the world of GTA 6. With Red Dead Redemption 2’s story praised by many critics, we can expect a similar level of attention from Rockstar to ensure the narrative is gripping and engaging. As with previous titles, GTA 6 will feature an array of vehicles for you to drive around as well as a variety of weapons and items that can be used in gameplay. In terms of multiplayer, we could see improved matchmaking capabilities that will help create balanced teams during online play.
