ALL NEW GTA 6 DETAILS 👇
MAP:
- Leonida is the biggest map Rockstar has ever made, about 2x GTA 5's
- It's packed tighter than GTA 5 too, with way more buildings you can go inside
- Even small spots like rooftops & back alleys got hand-built detail
WEATHER:
- Hurricanes & tropical storms are in the game
- Weather changes by area, so you can drive from clear skies straight into a storm
- Puddles stick around after the rain & you can spot rainbows
- Wind pushes around hair, trash, water & swamp grass, and gets blocked by buildings
WILDLIFE:
- 170+ types of animals (60+ birds & 30+ land mammals)
- Confirmed: alligators, manatees, flamingos, pelicans, sharks, whales, rays, turtles, jellyfish, iguanas & macaques
- You can track certain animals, with Rare, Discoverable & Legendary tiers
- Animal fur reacts to water & dirt, and some sea life glows in the dark
NPCs:
- Way more variety in NPC height, build & skin details like freckles, moles & tan lines
- Tattoo styles match each community, plus many more hairstyles
- There's a whole Rockstar team just for random NPC conversations
GAMEPLAY:
- A phone app called WAiNK tells you a car's security, what it sells for & what it costs to register
- Jason & Lucia can scroll social media, but won't post anything because they're on the run
ACTIVITIES:
- Base jumping, billiards, gyms, kayaking, mini golf, scuba diving, racing, zoos, airboats & jet skis
