- Former developer suggests a complete RAGE engine rebuild for GTA 6.

A former Grand Theft Auto 5 developer suggests Rockstar Games has rebuilt its RAGE engine for Grand Theft Auto 6. Rob Carr, who worked on audio for GTA 5, stated this is his strongest prediction regarding the new title.
Carr emphasized that the technology behind the RAGE engine, originally developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 era of Grand Theft Auto 5, has advanced significantly. He expressed surprise if Rockstar had not undertaken a complete rebuild given the development timeframe.
Additionally, Carr anticipates that Grand Theft Auto 6 might incorporate mechanics similar to those seen in Red Dead Redemption 2, drawing a parallel to the Dead Eye system from Red Dead Redemption appearing in GTA 5.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially scheduled for release on November 19, 2026. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. Marketing for the game is expected to commence in the coming months, possibly signaling the release of a third trailer this summer.
