They added that GTA 6 is a video game and GTA 5 was great because it was “arcady and fun, and you know what? GTA 6 will be too.” The player said that the game will have RP multiplayer servers but the game should remain what the franchise has always been about at its core, “a wild, exhilarating escape from reality.”

Rockstar Games has never let players down with the right amount of realism in its game. Players have said that after what the developer did with GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, they have nothing to worry about it in GTA 6.

Some fans have said that if the game has Red Dead Redemption 2‘s realism, they’ll be fine with it. There are also some that think the developer will be focusing on making the fun instead of what players want to see in the game and a majority of the things that players want will not be in the game.

Players have said that they want to see something like eating in San Andreas, weight loss in Red Dead Redemption 2, and other similar things. Rockstar Games has not yet shared anything about what kind of realism players can expect in the game but fans seem to want the old feel of GTA in GTA 6.
