A former GTA 6 developer did not hide his enthusiasm to soon see the game in action, but also took the opportunity to warn players.
Take-Two and Rockstar announced some time ago that the communication campaign of GTA 6 should officially move up a gear during the summer, in two short months. In the meantime, David O’ Reilly, a studio veteran having worked as an environment artist on this long-awaited new episode for five years, but also GTA 5 et Red Dead Redemption 2shared the fans’ excitement with Kiwi Talkz, but also tried to accommodate the enormous enthusiasm of the players by giving some clues as to how the game works.
A GTA 6 that will push Vice City, but with a little tinkering
With its first two trailers, GTA 6 has set the bar extremely high, promising us an ultra-realistic and graphically sublime modern Vice City when the game is released for the time being only on PS5 and Xbox Series this November 19, 2026. Although Rockstar Games has a reputation for not cheating in its trailers, we can suspect that the final product will not look exactly like what we saw there. On the Kiwi Talkz podcast, David O’Reilly warned that ” not every open world will look like what you see in the trailers ».
Although this former GTA 6 developer is just as excited to see how his colleagues have evolved the game, he also knows his stuff and therefore knows what to expect. “ I’m really looking forward to seeing the next trailer too and seeing how the city has evolved since my last visit. However, you should know that, in this type of trailer, the places we present are ultra refined, but what the camera does not show is clearly not as much. ».
It seems quite logical that, in the interest of saving resources, a game displays in greater detail what the player sees, but cuts out the rest in order to remain as fluid as possible. Despite the power of the RAGE 9 engine used for GTA 6, you will have to expect such sleight of hand for the title to run as well as possible on consoles. See you anyway in a few months to see the famous third trailer for the future steamroller from Rockstar Games to see to what extent David O’Reilly’s testimony is verified or not.
