Ex-Rockstar Games Developer Shares Thoughts on Grand Theft Auto 6

Once a developer for Rockstar Games, Obbe Vermeij talked about his thoughts on Grand Theft Auto 6, saying that it might not be too different from the first game. Grand Theft Auto 6 is being made for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S right now, and it should come out in 2025.

The very popular GTA series will get its first main game in more than ten years next year, when GTA 6 comes out. Rockstar Games released the first video for GTA 6 in December 2023. It quickly got over 200 million views on YouTube.

Since then, there hasn’t been much information about the open-world game, which has made fans even more excited. Vermeij, who used to work for Rockstar North and helped make GTA games like GTA: San Andreas and GTA 4, recently talked about the next game in the crime series.

As Obbe Vermeij told SanInPlay in an interview, he doesn’t think GTA 6 will be “wildly different” from GTA 5. This may mean that some fans should lower their hopes. His claim was based on the fact that hardware power hasn’t changed much since the last version of consoles.

That the change from PS1 to PS2 was “enormous” and the change from PS4 to PS5 was “not that big,” the former Rockstar Games employee said, adding that the developers don’t have the “technology jump” they need to make things “different and better.”

The Former Rockstar Games Developer is Still Very Optimistic About Gta 6

It wasn’t something Vermeij thought would change a lot from GTA 5, but Rockstar Games has “taken it even further” with GTA 6. He told them it would still be “the best game out there.” He said that the scene in the trailer that “blows me away” is the one that shows a beach full of different people doing their own thing.

The former GTA creator also said that he liked the idea of the series going back to Vice City, which was inspired by Miami, saying that he loves the “Miami vibe.” He also said that he was excited about GTA 6 and would definitely play it.

Fans of GTA 6 are still excited for the next update from Rockstar Games, even though there has only been one public reveal so far. The game isn’t coming out until sometime in 2025, so there’s a good chance that the next GTA 6 trailer will be released before the end of the year.

No matter when that happens, it looks like the next video will probably get the same reaction as the first one.
