Rockstar Games Builds Dedicated Data Center for GTA 6 Launch Later This Year with Enhanced Ray Tracing and Shadow Drop Speculation
Rockstar Games is reportedly developing a dedicated data center exclusively for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), signaling a substantial investment in the game's infrastructure. Anticipation is building around the GTA 6 launch, expected later this year, with details emerging about its price in markets including India, the USA, and Dubai, as well as gameplay features, new maps, and system requirements. The enhanced ray tracing technology seen in Grand Theft Auto V has been praised for its optimization on PC, with its global illumination, ray-traced reflections, and shadows directly ported from the GTA 6 version. Speculation about Rockstar's marketing strategy includes the possibility of a surprise 'shadow drop' release of GTA 6, which some suggest could be a global event warranting a day off worldwide.
