The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has 'dropped', sparking interest not only among regular players but also those with
GTA modded accounts, curious about the new possibilities the game will offer. Is what we've seen here viable on current-gen consoles in real-time? Is there any evidence of hardware-accelerated ray tracing effects? How do the characters and hair rendering look so good? And is 60fps on PS5/Series X and an Xbox Series S port actually viable?
