Grand Theft Auto VI is fast approaching, although you wouldn’t think it from Rockstar’s lack of trailers, and fans are eager to hear more about the highly-anticipated game.
With the upcoming Rockstar Games titled being branded a “global distraction event”, it is safe to say that, despite the decade long wait, fans are still as excited for Grand Theft Auto VI as ever.
If you have somehow missed it, check out the first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI below!
It is just a year to go until it is expected to launch and a recent discovery has given us further hints on what we can expect from the most anticipated game of all time.

The discovery is in thanks to a Principal Engine Programmer at Rockstar Games who has been working at the company since 2020 and more specifically, has been working on GTA VI for the past four years.
Their Linkedin page gives us some insight into their recent work, including their experience with Rockstar’s in-house engine, RAGE.
RAGE is being used to power the next generation of Grand Theft Auto and has allowed developers to experiment with ray tracing, ray-traced global illumination and “procedural generation for objects and game environments”.
The full Linkedin job description reads: "Oversee the design, development, and optimization of core engine of Rockstar's in-house RAGE engine.

Including rendering, physics, AI, and memory management, ensuring the engine can handle open world environments and simulations.
I collaborated with other technical leads, producers, and directors to define the technical vision and architecture of engine systems for current and future titles".
They go on to explain that they have been “pushing the limits of real-time rendering and processing to maintain smooth performance across multiple platforms, including next-gen consoles and PC”.
Put simply, Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to be Rockstar’s most ambitious project yet and aims to blow every modern-day title out of the water when it comes to performance and graphics.

No wonder fans will be taking the time off work.
