GTA 5 PC update hints at GTA 6 features

Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC has received ray tracing upgrades, aligning it with current-generation console versions. This update, nearly three years after the console release, enhances lighting and reflections, hinting at features expected in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. The new ray traced global illumination improves the game's lighting quality significantly, allowing light to bounce more realistically in environments. This upgrade is more comprehensive than previous implementations in other games, applying to all light sources and providing detailed shadows. While the enhancements are notable, GTA 5's age limits its visual improvements. The upgrades suggest advanced technology that may be used in GTA 6, although the performance demands indicate that the next game may target 30 frames per second on consoles.
