GTA 6 advanced weather system: GTA 6 Weather will go beyond sunshine, but fans are waiting for the biggest storm reveal
Rockstar says the map has more than 170 animal species and weather that changes by area, including hurricanes, storms and rainbows.
- On Tuesday, Game Informer released a cover story confirming Grand Theft Auto VI will feature an "advanced weather system" designed to simulate Florida's less predictable climate in the fictional state of Leonida.
- Owen Shepherd, vice president of art for lighting and rendering at Rockstar Games, confirmed the team "re-engineered our weather system" to be more localized and persistent, aiming to make the world feel "dynamically solid."
- Hurricanes and tropical storms are confirmed components of the game, with Rockstar confirming they involve "heavy clouds, strong winds, dense atmospherics, and a lot of rain" that leave surfaces visibly wet.
- Over 170 animal species will inhabit Leonida, according to Rockstar North co-studio head Aaron Garbut, who confirmed the world is twice as large as Grand Theft Auto V.
- With the November 19, 2026, release approaching, fans await the technical execution of Leonida's environment when Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
