Story Highlight
  • Analysts have been thoroughly impressed by the second GTA 6 trailer.
  • They believe the team has achieved CGI-like quality in cutscenes and set a new bar for the industry.
  • Elements like RTGI, hair rendering, and more have elevated Rockstar Games’ open-world experience.

GTA 6 is shaping up to be a phenomenal achievement for Rockstar Games. As seen in trailer 2, the game is set to deliver breathtaking visuals, a lifelike open world, and an exciting narrative involving Jason and Lucia.

In particular, the visuals have left many gamers impressed. Even graphics enthusiasts and analysts have acknowledged Rockstar Games’ efforts, stating that GTA 6 has already set a new bar for open-world gaming.

Why it matters: Rockstar Games has only shown PS5 footage of GTA 6 so far. The team has yet to push the game to its limits on PC, leaving even more room to impress audiences.

The experts from Digital Foundry have returned with yet another in-depth analysis today. From the beginning, John Linneman states that the game is doing things that haven’t been done in open-world games before.

There is stuff going on here that sets a new bar for what you can expect from open-world gaming.

Among the many impressive elements, the analysts found GTA 6’s ray-traced lighting to be spectacular. Rockstar Games has gone all in on RTGI, leaving the game with no baked lighting for an incredibly realistic look.

On the other hand, the team described hair rendering quality as tremendous and praised the environment details on display. The ray-traced reflections have also earned plenty of flowers from Digital Foundry.

Across the 40-plus-minute video, the team discusses plenty of other details regarding GTA 6’s visual outlook, including elements like the game’s cutscenes rivalling movie-level CGI.

Cutscenes in this are the equivalent of a real-time high-end CGI film.
