Expanded Interior Exploration in GTA 6

According to a report from GamesRadar+, a lead developer on Grand Theft Auto 6 has indicated that the upcoming title will feature "an order of magnitude more interiors" compared to previous installments in the series (1). This suggests a significant expansion of accessible buildings and environments within the game world. The same report attributes a statement to the lead, echoing a "Skyrim-era Todd Howard" sentiment, suggesting players "can go anywhere, any random location" (1).

Implications for World Design

This reported design philosophy, as detailed by GamesRadar+, implies a highly interactive and dense open world where many previously inaccessible structures could become explorable (1). The focus on increased interiors could contribute to a more immersive experience, allowing players to discover secrets and engage with the environment in new ways beyond street-level exploration.
