It might not have an exact release date yet, but GTA 6 is getting closer and closer, and one former designer on the game has suggested that Rockstar's focus right now will likely be on making sure everything is prepared for the players who'll just want to mess around in the action-adventure.
In an interview on the GTAVIoclock YouTube channel, Ben Hinchliffe – who was a game designer at Rockstar for over 12 years on the likes of GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and GTA 6 before becoming a lead designer at Just Add Water two years ago – was asked what the focus of the dev team would normally be at this point. "Talking generalities," he begins, "on a title that big, you're wanting to really tighten it in every corner" when it's about a year away from release. Namely, this comes down to "a lot of bug fixing" and making sure that everything is prepared for players to dive in and play in unintended ways.
