Thanks to a dedicated team 'art-directing' every single NPC, GTA 6 has over 10 times as many unique animations as GTA 5

Rockstar North, the creators of Grand Theft Auto 6, have invested an extraordinary amount of resources into their latest installment. According to co-head Aaron Garbut, the studio has dedicated an entire team solely to art-directing every single Non-Player Character (NPC) in the game. This means each individual NPC, right down to the details like who is sitting where, what they're drinking, and even the marks left on tables, has been meticulously considered and crafted.

Each room in the game, placed in a random building in a vast city, features personalized touches such as pictures on the wall and family members. This level of detail has resulted in over 600,000 unique animations for the NPCs in GTA 6, a figure that is double the amount found in Red Dead Redemption 2 and ten times more than in the previous GTA 5.

This unprecedented level of scale and fidelity in the game is evident in its map, which is three times larger than that of Red Dead Redemption 2, demonstrating Rockstar's commitment to delivering an immersive and detailed gaming experience.
