Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 Upgrades RDR2's Weather System

Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature more persistent weather systems, addressing a criticism of Red Dead Redemption 2 where storms passed too quickly and broke immersion. The upgrade, reported by GameInformer, means storms and rain in GTA 6 will last longer than the brief cinematic moments seen in RDR2. Fans have reacted positively, noting that flying during severe weather could become dangerous or impossible, a first for the series. Rockstar previously made similar promises about RDR2's weather that were not fully realized, so the final result remains uncertain. The challenge involves balancing longer weather cycles with a day-and-night system, which is more complex in GTA due to faster travel speeds.
