GTA 6 Project Americas: Everything You Need To Know

5. Weather Will Be A Huge Focus

Although Rockstar have constantly delivered when it comes to making their open worlds feel lived in and authentic, one area they've never really been able to focus on has been weather.

GTA, Red Dead and the Team Bondi-helmed L.A. Noire all featured an array of weather effects, but they were the usual suspects; rain, heavy downpours, cloudy skies, and the occasional storm. Red Dead Redemption 2 excelled when it came to simulating different seasons and climates, but again, the actual weather itself never massively impacted the way the player experienced the game.

If rumours are anything to go by however, GTA 6 may be about to rectify that particular element of gameplay. In fact there will apparently be an array of inclement weather events on offer, including hurricanes and floods.

This would make GTA 6's open world the most intuitive Rockstar have crafted yet, especially if they manage to marry the approach they took in Red Dead with next gen technology.
