GTA 6 Likely to Adopt Elements from Red Dead Redemption 2, Former Rockstar Developer Suggests
Former Rockstar Games audio designer Rob Carr, who worked on both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, has expressed his strong belief that Grand Theft Auto 6 will incorporate ideas from Red Dead Redemption 2. Appearing on the Kiwi Talkz podcast, Carr based his prediction on Rockstar's historical development pattern, where the studio often expands upon key mechanics from prior games. He cited GTA 5's adaptation of the original Red Dead's 'Dead Eye' system for its character-specific perks (Michael's slow-mo aiming, Franklin's slow-mo driving, Trevor's berserker mode) as a prime example. While Carr did not specify which particular elements of Red Dead Redemption 2 might make their way into GTA 6, he stated he would be 'surprised if they don't use something.' The article also notes that GTA 6 is scheduled for a November 19 launch, following previous delays, with marketing efforts set to commence this summer. The game is anticipated to generate massive hype and projected sales of 40 million units within its first year, although experts caution that its success won't resolve broader industry issues.
