While nowhere does it state that this is in reference to GTA 6, the patent does go on about various vehicles, such as trucks, motorcycles and sedans, and about “high-speed chases.” GTA is definitely known for those features.

The patent, titled “System And Method For Virtual Navigation In A Gaming Environment,” also suggests navigation between multiple islands. GTA 6 has long been rumoured to feature Vice City and Liberty City, but only time will tell if we’re getting a completely new setting in Central America or something a little familiar. The leak goes on about how NPCs could react to different vehicles, and and routes for automated vehicles - issues to be faced in order to achieve a more realistic environment for the game. That’s something we know Rockstar Games excels at, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see the next-generation of NPCs in GTA 6. In the meantime, check out the patent (warning: it comes with plenty of graphs).
