GTA 6 NPC Focus Doubles Animations, Avoids Trump Parody

Rockstar Games has revealed it established a dedicated team to craft more realistic non-player characters for Grand Theft Auto 6, a move that has resulted in the game featuring over 600,000 animations. This figure is double the amount found in Red Dead Redemption 2 and more than ten times the number in Grand Theft Auto 5. The development effort underscores the studio's push for unprecedented detail and scale in its upcoming title, set for release on November 19. In an interview with The New York Times, Rockstar North co-head Aaron Garbut explained that a new Los Angeles-based team of writers, directors, and producers was created specifically to focus on realizing NPCs.
