Here are some updates from closer to home as the gaming community waits impatiently for any new information on Grand Theft Auto VI. Sayan Saha, an ex-employee of Rockstar Games who is an Indian UI/UX designer, worked on the upcoming GTA 6 while he was employed by the company. On his LinkedIn profile bio, Saha listed the game’s assets he worked on as well as other information. Details are as follows:
An ex-Rockstar employee discusses their experience working on GTA 6.
Sayan Saha contributed to the Global 2D UI Team’s work on GTA VI, GTA Trilogy Remastered, and the next-generation upgrade for GTA V. Over 500 in-game 2D graphics have been finished, according to Saha, for “the upcoming GTA title,” which the gaming world believes to be GTA 6. These include interior prop labels (which is modeling for the labels on in-game elements that make up the space of the game), identity design with merchandising over 25 separate brands for the game, and more.
Additionally, Saha created neon-lit signage, billboards, and hoardings that can be seen in both the game’s exterior and interior. In addition, it is said that he was involved in the creation of the web UI for in-game desktop and mobile screens. Saha also discusses working on “generic clutter,” which she describes as “generic official documents one finds in place of a service provider”—aspects that players will see in the game.
This in-depth LinkedIn bio just serves to highlight once again how meticulously game developers create games from the ground up, particularly for “flagship” releases like GTA VI. Even the smallest details, which might not really effect gameplay but affect the overall mood and immersion of the game, require the level of investigation and concentration that Sayan Saha emphasizes.
Whatever the case, Saha’s recent statement is even more evidence that Rockstar Games is actively working on its forthcoming GTA game, as has been indicated previously. There hasn’t been an official announcement on the release date of GTA 6, although it is rumored to occur sometime in 2024.
