- New Grand Theft Auto 6 details may have come from an Amazon Brazil listing
- The game apparently has 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 surfaced.
In addition to a larger Vice City map, which Rockstar has previously said will allow players to explore more 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 like GTA 5, so we could expect certain missions to be playable by either character, but it could also mean that players can choose who they want to complete a mission with regardless.
It’s also similar 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” players may encounter, and “interactive establishments.”
The latter could be a reference to shops, tattoo parlors and salons, but could also describe places like strip clubs, bars and gun shops, which have not yet been revealed but can also be found in GTA 5.
The mention of “random events” sounds like a feature taken from Red Dead Redemption 2allowing players to encounter 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 the 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 if these details came from Rockstar themselves, or were 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 12th.
However, physical copies do not have a disc and only include a digital download code in the box.
