The studio said it added as many interiors as possible, from rooftops and alleyways to fully explorable buildings, making GTA 6 the series’ most interior-rich game yet. The map menu gets a new satellite-style design, and players will be able to fast-travel using the “RydeMe” app.

The game will feature more than 170 animal species, including over 60 birds and more than 30 land mammals, some unique to Leonida and never seen in the series before. Tropical storms and hurricanes combining “dense clouds, strong winds, intense atmospheric conditions and plenty of rain” are also coming.
