Rockstar Games has been developing GTA 6 for quite some time now. They have also shared their wish to make the title one of the best in the franchise and surpass all of its predecessors. If this comes to pass, the game will have more content and countless other things to offer which will ultimately make it more impactful than GTA 5.

Since GTA 5 was developed in relatively less time, it lacked several things that Rockstar Games added further down the line. However, the upcoming title will most likely have everything in a single package which will impact it in a good way.

GTA 5 has amazing graphics for a game that rolled out a decade ago. However, the first GTA 6 trailer has already awed the gaming world with a photorealistic environment and incredible character models. This alone has set the game on the path of being much more impactful than its predecessor.

Since Rockstar is known for keeping the same graphics standards as the trailers and even further enhancing it in the actual gameplay, players are in for a wild ride when the game finally rolls out.

While the studio has not yet revealed anything concrete about the game's plot or storyline, various speculations are floating around the internet. With GTA 6 Jason and Lucia seemingly inspired by the infamous Bonnie and Clyde couple, the game could follow a similar plot.

With a male and female protagonist duo, some fans speculate that the game might ask one of them to kill the other at the end of the story. Since GTA 5's story, while intense, was quite scattered, players are confident that Rockstar Games will keep it tight and interesting in the upcoming title to make the game much more impactful.

4) The game's focus on realism will play a big role

Rockstar Games has been trying to implement realistic mechanics and features in its games for quite some time. Red Dead Redemption 2 has some incredible features that should be a part of GTA 6 to make it realistic and grounded. GTA 5 is almost a decade old and the technology has advanced a lot ever since. Now, it is easier for the developers to implement such ideas.

Combining realism with fun gameplay is what will set the upcoming title apart from the previous game and make it much more influential. The studio might be planning to take everything good from games like GTA San Andreas, GTA 4, GTA 5, and RDR 2 and implement them in Grand Theft Auto 6.

It has already been confirmed that GTA 6 is set in Leonida, which encompasses Vice City as well as several other major locations. This automatically makes the game's map bigger and more detailed than its predecessor's. The lack of explorable locations has also been a major complaint with GTA 5 and Rockstar might be planning to curb the issue in the next title.

This will also make it much more impactful. Reusing and further enhancing Vice City will also work in the game's favor as players are looking forward to exploring the iconic city and checking out everything old and new that the studio implements.
