Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to feature a new graphics engine from Rockstar Games that has been built to challenge the current industry standard.

Considering that Grand Theft Auto V launched in September 2013, a leap in graphics for GTA 6 seems inevitable but this does seem a major jump, if true. Rockstar has historically always looked to push hardware to its limits with GTA V being designed as a PS3 and Xbox 360 game, so this report seems believable.

We also know thatGTA 6 is in “active development"after Rockstar finally confirmed the game’s existence earlier this year, so that hopefully means it won’t be another nine years before we hear more details.

Visiblement, la nouvelle version du moteur graphique de #RockstarGames (RAGE9) qui sera utilisée pour #GTA6 risque d’être assez incroyable. J’ai pu avoir des retours très positifs, on devrait vraiment ne pas être déçu sur ce point. On parle d’un moteur en avance sur son temps. pic.twitter.com/v2DVSS4lMJApril 22, 2022

“Obviously, the new version of the graphics engine of #RockstarGames (RAGE9) which will be used for #GTA6 is likely to be quite incredible,” wrote Klippel (viaGoogleTranslate). “I was able to get very positive feedback, we really shouldn’t be disappointed on this point. We are talking about an engine ahead of its time.”

Furthermore, when pressed for more details on how it will compare to Unreal Engine, he said: “Apparently the goal is to outperform the Unreal Engine. They are capable of it, we will see if they can do it.”
