Summary
Rockstar said it has roughly 4,000 employees working toward Grand Theft Auto 6, about double its 2018 size after Red Dead Redemption 2.
The expansion is aimed at boosting realism: a Los Angeles office is focused almost entirely on NPCs, while full-time hires include Miami stylist Jillian Carr, racecar drivers and 50 street artists.
Carr, hired in 2023, helped build a fashion system for Vice City’s mix of style, class and celebrity culture, underscoring Rockstar’s use of nontraditional specialists beyond core developers.
Rockstar also disclosed new gameplay systems—eating, working out and sleeping will affect characters—ahead of a longer GTA 6 reveal on Netflix on Thursday.
