Although we have not yet seen the final version of GTA 6, its potential successor (which could be called GTA 7) is rumored to be cheaper to develop. Obbe Vermeij, the former technical director of Rockstar North, predicted that Rockstar Games could have to spend less on Grand Theft Auto 7 due to advances on artificial intelligence technology (AI).

However, fans need to keep in mind that it was ABOB's personal opinion and does not reflect the official process of Rockstar Games. Then more details are provided.

However, the former Rockstar Games developer also said that real artists should produce creative things:

“You still have artists to do this, tons of artists to do higher-level creative things, and there would be problems to fix and all these things. But I think most of the play will probably be replaced.”

It is worth noting that the Gta 6 budget Rumors that it exceeds a billion dollars. Although there is no official confirmation yet, Grand Theft Auto fans have been speculating on the cost projected from the Gta 6 leaks September 2022.

Although Rockstar Games is known for using AI in its games, it is mainly used for NPC reactions and RNG -related functions. In this note, it will be interesting to see the amount of the study takes advantage of artificial intelligence in the future.
