GTA 6 is not going to be just grand but a pioneer for years to come. The game will use an updated version of Rockstar’s in-house RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine). The game will host a tweaked Euporhia engine for advanced ragdoll physics (remember GTA 4?). On a graphical level, the game will host detailed characters & animations similar to the likes of RDR 2. With the characters sweating, clothes getting dirty, facial hair growth, facial blemishes, and more.
The RAGE Engine’s capability will show off in the world of Grand Theft Auto 6, with volumetric clouds from Red Dead Redemption 2, advanced lighting, and skybox. GTA 6 will also host a Heavy Fog weather type, not present in GTA 5.
GTA 6 Protoganists & Side Characters
This will be the first time in the Grand Theft Auto Series, that players will take control of a female protagonist. The narrative of GTA 6 will follow the Bonnie & Clyde duo of Jason and Lucia. Both protagonists will appear throughout the story of GTA 6 with a wide cast of supporting characters:

San 4 San– A Haitian street gang located in the Little Haiti neighborhood.
Guardia Brothers– A biker gang similar to the Lost MC from GTA 5 and GTA 4.
Far Right Milita– Not much is known about the Far Right Militia at the moment. The gang/group might be encountered by the protagonists while exploring similar to the Klan from RDR 2.
Weapons, Items & Equipment in GTA 6
The majority of the leaks for GTA 6 suggest both Protoganist will have unique abilities similar to the abilities in GTA 5. Lucia is said to have more of a hacking approach with abilities and Jason is on the brute side with abilities to break into cars and crowd control. This coincides with the leaked equipment list of GTA 6 which includes:
1. Auto Dialer: Used to make automatic calls, typically for fraudulent activities or technical operations.
2. Painkillers: Acts as a recovery item.
3. Food and Drink: Recovery items for health and stamina.
4. Immobilizer Bypass: This can be used to bypass car immobilizers, especially for luxury vehicles.
