GTA 6 Visual Leap: A Graphics Renaissance Beyond Vice City

Rockstar released a near-30-minute GTA 6 gameplay trailer, then Kotaku compares it with GTA Vice City (2002) to show how far tech has come. With modern hardware and the RAGE engine, GTA 6 delivers vastly richer environments, denser crowds, and more dynamic police chases than Vice City’s PS2-era scenes. Vice City was impressive for its time, but GTA 6 represents a nearly decade-long development leap, with the new game arriving in November on PS5 and Xbox.
