How Is a Game Like GTA 6 Actually Made? Here's How Rockstar Gets It Done

Rockstar North boss Rob Nelson said in an interview with Love magazine that GTA 6 was built through a series of eight-week milestones, where select pieces of the game are compiled together, evaluated, adjusted based on feedback, and then followed by the next milestone. The process begins by creating assets and systems and then roughing in content across all areas of development. Writing director James Horton said there are no shortcuts when it comes to building a world like this.
