5 significant details uncovered by GTA 6 leaked videos

1) Dual protagonists

The first and most important thing that GTA 6 leaked videos disclosed is the two protagonists: Jason and Lucia.

It is a well-known fact that the fictional Vice City is based on real-life Miami, and the GTA 6 leaked videos also showed the inclusion of several iconic buildings in Miami. According to data miners, Rockstar Games has included landmarks such as the 1800 Club, Quantum on the Bay Condominium, Opera Tower, Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay, New Arena Apartments, and many others in the upcoming game.

As is customary, the real-life buildings were altered to match the in-game vibe. However, they were instantly recognizable from their location and structure.

The gaming studio is also testing new and improved combat mechanics as disclosed by the leaked videos. GTA 6 is rumored to include a refined version of the RAGE Engine physics that gives characters unique movement and maneuverability. This is also visible during combat, making the gameplay even more exciting.

5) Photorealistic graphics

As the gaming industry, in general, sees massive improvements in the scope and quality of video games, Rockstar Games has also shown significant improvements in the graphics department. The GTA 6 leaks showcased photorealistic graphics in the game that looks identical to third-party modded gameplay. However, the community is excited that the developer is including improved graphics as a standard feature.

For example, the sky, lighting, and shadows look realistic and pleasing to the eyes. Many fans have also pointed out that the leaked videos are from a pre-alpha stage, so there is a chance that the visual quality will improve in the final release.
