Creating timely satire is difficult when a game takes five years or more to develop. That timetable means trends current during production could be outdated by the time GTA 6 launches.
The developers therefore chose not to copy fleeting phenomena literally. Instead, they built their own deliberately distorted and exaggerated versions of those trends.
GTA 6’s satirical approach
The team did not abandon the game’s advanced technical foundation for a simpler visual style. The source contrasts this with South Park, which has retained its crude art style for decades, while GTA 6 continues to rely on modern technology.
