Driving and vehicle handling in GTA 6

Updated September 2026

Rockstar's trailers have shown a wide vehicle roster in motion — here's what the footage suggests about handling.

What's shown

Trailer clips show cars, motorcycles, boats and aircraft in varied traffic and weather conditions, including wet-road handling during a storm sequence.

Building on RDR2's engine

GTA 6 uses an evolution of the RAGE engine used in Red Dead Redemption 2, which introduced more weighty, physics-driven vehicle handling than GTA V.

Unconfirmed
