- New Grand Theft Auto 6 details might have emerged from an Amazon Brazil listing
- The game apparently features NPCs with their own routines and “random events”
- Players may be able to switch between Jason and Lucia during missions
Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders have officially begun, and thanks to Amazon Brazil’s listing, new details about the game’s open world may have emerged.
Alongside a larger Vice City map, which Rockstar has previously said will allow players to explore several regions of Leonida, the product listing description also states that players will be able to switch between co-protagonists Jason and Lucia during the story and “participate in missions as a duo.”
This sounds similar to GTA 5, so we could expect certain missions to be playable by either character, but it could also mean players can choose who to complete a mission with, regardless.
It also looks like GTA 6‘s world will be highly detailed with a “greater sense of immersion”, as non-player characters (NPCs) will have their own “routines”, which could mean daily and nightly activities, “random events” that players can encounter, and “interactive establishments.”
The latter could be a reference to shops, tattoo parlours, and salons, but could also describe places like strip clubs, bars, and gun stores, which haven’t been revealed yet but can also be found in GTA 5.
The mention of “random events” sounds like a feature drawn from Red Dead Redemption 2, allowing players to come across them while roaming the map, including things like isolated interactions and unmarked encounters.
GTA 6 will also reportedly feature “integrated social networks” that mimic real life, and players can “watch viral videos, follow influencers, and discover world events through your in-game mobile phone.”
The game is built for current-gen, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Series S, and the description confirms that it will offer “next-generation graphics” that include “advanced lighting, dynamic weather, more natural animations, and a high level of detail in environments.”
At the moment it’s unclear whether these details have come from Rockstar themselves, or have been added by a third-party but they certainly sound very plausible.
GTA 6 launches on November 19 and will cost $79.99 / AU$129.95 / £69.99 for the Standard Edition and $99.99 / AU$159.95 / £89.99 for the Ultimate Edition. Pre-loads begin on November 12.
However, physical copies won’t have a disc and only include a digital download code in the box.
