The highly anticipated return of Grand Theft Auto is slated for 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the unveiling of GTA 6 has sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. The recently released trailer showcases the power of the current console generation.
While it remains unclear whether the trailer footage is real-time or in-engine prerenders, Rockstar Games has a history of maintaining transparency in this regard. The narrative of Lucia and Jason promises a visually stunning experience, featuring impressive character models for Vice City’s inhabitants, a broader range of body shapes and styles, and remarkably realistic textures and physics.

A YouTube user named Cycu1 has provided the comparison many were anticipating: GTA 5 and GTA 6 face off, examining the extent of the graphical advancements. The former runs on a muscular PC version at 4K, while the latter relies solely on the initial images from Rockstar Games’ trailer.
As expected from a 10-year gap between the two releases, the difference is striking, representing a leap spanning two console generations and incorporating numerous technological advancements. It serves as a reminder that GTA 5 originated as a title for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, back in 2013, when technologies like Ray Tracing were still in the realm of science fiction.
