New information about Grand Theft Auto 6 has been discovered, and it highlights the sort of advance techology being used to power GTA 6. It’s looking like the most sophisticated and alive world Rockstar has probably ever created.
Rockstar Games isn’t exactly a slouch in the perfectionism department. This is why recent releases take so long: The company wants new games to be perfect, if not better.
Even in the two GTA 6 trailers we’ve seen, the world looks jaw-dropping. We’ve since learned that ‘Advanced AI’ is powering all of this.
AI Being Used to Make an Organic GTA 6 Map
The AI conversation has heated up in recent years. But if you’ve ever played a game, you know most use AI in them, so it’s nothing new.
According to Brazilian retailer KaBuM! ‘The GTA VI universe pulsates in a hyper-realistic way,’ and it’s thanks to AI.

The product page stated:
‘NPCs (game characters) have their own routines based on advanced AI, generating organic random events around the map. The big innovation is in the integration of in-game social networks: your character’s cell phone consumes viral videos in real time, allowing you to follow Vice City influencers and discover secret side missions through the networks.’
It should be noted that this description doesn’t seem to be offered by any other retailer we’ve seen, and this could be subject to change.
However, active AI should ensure Leonida is the most alive open world to date. Will an alligator randomly roam around the streets before hopping on a skateboard? I hope so.
What do you make of Rockstar using AI to control its world? Let us know through the official Insider Gaming Discord Server.
