Rockstar Details GTA 6's Overhauled Weather System

Rockstar has re-engineered GTA 6's weather system to be more localized and persistent, with fully dynamic cloudscapes, localized rain showers, rainbows, and wet surfaces with puddles after rain. A new wind system adds offshore breezes, convectional updrafts, and building occlusion, plus tropical storms and hurricanes. The game launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for $80.

• GTA 6 weather is localized and persistent, with rain falling in patches rather than map-wide
• Surfaces stay wet after rain, with puddles and rainbows appearing
• New wind system includes offshore breezes, updrafts, and swirling hair and debris
• Tropical storms and hurricanes with thunder and lightning are included
