The launch of GTA 6 pre-orders worldwide has triggered a tectonic shift in the gaming industry in 2026. While millions of gamers are snapping up coveted copies, Brazilian retailers Amazon Brazil and KaBum accidentally leaked key technical details about the gameplay, graphics, and open-world mechanics of Rockstar Games’ upcoming blockbuster. The developers haven’t released a new trailer (and are unlikely to release one in the coming weeks), but descriptions on the retailers’ websites have revealed a wealth of juicy information. It looks like we’re in for the most technologically advanced action game of the generation.

What’s known about GTA 6’s open world and gameplay
To say that Rockstar Games is preparing something massive is an understatement. Judging by leaks from Amazon Brazil, the developers are creating the largest, densest, and most ambitious map in the studio’s history. Moreover, the emphasis is on total life simulation:
-
NPC daily routines. Ordinary passersby will no longer be faceless extras. Every Vice City resident will have their own activities, routes, and unique schedule.
-
Random Events. The studio is bringing the best of Red Dead Redemption 2—the world will constantly generate unique situations on the fly.
-
Dynamic Weather. Precipitation and storms are more than just a pretty filter; they will directly affect vehicle physics and character behavior.
-
Social Media. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels will become a full-fledged part of the gameplay. By scrolling through the in-game feed, Lucia and Jason will be able to discover clues and activate secret missions.
GTA 6 Main Characters: How Switching Between Jason and Lucia Works
The duo’s mechanics largely inherit the ideas of the legendary GTA 5, but with an emphasis on deeper interaction. Players will be able to freely switch between Jason and Lucia both while exploring the city and in the midst of story-driven heists. Incidentally, the developers have prepared three types of missions: solo missions for each character and complex operations requiring coordinated teamwork. Naturally, each protagonist will retain their own unique set of abilities, greatly diversifying their tactics.
PS5 Pro Technical Features and Graphics
Visually, the game aims for absolute next-gen performance, with owners of the most powerful consoles expected to reap the greatest benefits. Brazilian retailer KaBum explicitly states that the PS5 Pro version will offer increased performance, a highly stable frame rate, and enhanced image clarity. Advanced global illumination algorithms, realistic animation physics, and incredibly detailed environments are also announced.
The 2026 production calendar has already been folded for Rockstar Games’ release, and the official launch of pre-orders only confirms that the machine has been launched. Currently, almost all the introductory details about the Ultimate Edition, including pricing and purchase bonuses, are known, so gamers can only save up and wait for official announcements from the developers.
