GTA 6 is expected to feature ray tracing

Rockstar Games has decided to focus their development efforts on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game, allowing them to take full advantage of these platforms' advanced processing power, enhanced graphics, and immersive capabilities. With the new visuals revealed in the trailer, GTA 6 will likely feature photorealistic graphics with reflections generated in real-time using ray tracing technology.

There are even rumors that the upcoming game may surpass GTA 5's amazing RT shadows and reflections if newer technology is utilized.

Previously, we witnessed delayed PC releases from Rockstar Games for titles like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Similarly, the company has shared that the release date for their newest title will be in 2025, but there's no assurance that it'll arrive on PC at the same time.

Therefore, we may expect GTA 6 to grace the PC platform two GPU generations later in 2026 or 2027. There's a strong likelihood that the game will incorporate ray tracing across the multiple platforms it's slated to be released on.

The file size of GTA 6 could be around 100 GB, which means that it is a rather enormous video game. We can expect a top-notch gaming experience in full 4K resolution from this title, so you'll want to use a high-res gaming console and monitor for the optimal visual experience.

Furthermore, SSD storage should allow for faster load times in the title with no sacrifices. A more immersive experience is expected to be made possible with the haptic feedback and 3D audio of the PS5's DualSense controller.
