GTA 6 Will Move Slower for More Realism
Rockstar says GTA 6 will have slower time, more reactive NPCs, and less instant convenience to better match its more detailed world.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Rockstar Games is making Grand Theft Auto 6 feel slower and more realistic than earlier games. The company says the new world looks more detailed, so the pace had to change to match it.
In an interview with EDGE, Rob Nelson said Rockstar visited Miami many times and used those trips to study the city and its culture before rebuilding Vice City. When the team tested the game with GTA 5-style pacing, it felt too fast.
Rockstar has changed the day-night cycle so time moves more slowly, which means longer nights and sunsets. NPCs will also react more believably to what players do.
The game is also adding more limits on convenience. Cars can still be summoned, but through the Scooter Bros app and not instantly. Players will also have to carry weapons more realistically and may need to pause story progress to raise money for certain jobs.
