Hinchliffe revealed his access to significant portions of GTA 6's content and storyline, expressing his excitement about its evolution. He highlighted the substantial progress made since he left Rockstar, emphasizing the game's transformation from his last involvement to its near-completion.

Rockstar Games unveiled the official GTA 6 trailer last year, showcasing the new protagonists, the Vice City setting, and a glimpse into the crime-filled adventure awaiting players. Scheduled for a Fall 2025 release exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, details about the game have been scarce. However, Hinchliffe confidently stated that GTA 6 represents a significant leap forward for Rockstar, setting a new benchmark for the series.

He noted Rockstar's consistent evolution in game realism across their titles, suggesting GTA 6 will continue this trend. "Each iteration feels more realistic, with characters behaving more naturally," he explained. "Rockstar has raised the bar again, as they always do."

Since Hinchliffe's departure three years ago, GTA 6 has likely undergone extensive refinement and performance optimization. Hinchliffe speculates that Rockstar is currently focused on bug fixing and addressing any remaining development challenges.

Regarding fan reaction, Hinchliffe predicts an overwhelmingly positive response, particularly due to the game's realism. "It'll blow people away. It'll sell incredibly well, as it always does," he stated, adding his enthusiasm for players finally experiencing the game.
