GTA 6 May Build on Systems from Red Dead Redemption 2

[cryptohog]

A former Rockstar Games developer suggested that Grand Theft Auto 6 is likely to incorporate mechanics from Red Dead Redemption 2, continuing the studio’s pattern of evolving existing systems across titles. Previous examples include how GTA 5 adapted mechanics from earlier Rockstar games, such as ability systems inspired by Red Dead.

The comment reflects Rockstar’s long-standing development approach, where core gameplay systems are refined and expanded rather than replaced. With advancements in game engines and hardware since RDR2’s release, similar mechanics could return in more advanced forms.

Work smart. But why does it take so long then?

rdr2 systems were already pretty deep, so expanding them in gta 6 makes a lot of sense
