alive
. But let's not ignore the facts: some parts of RDR2 felt too slow, too clunky, or just plain frustrating. With GTA 6 set to launch in May 2026, Rockstar has a golden chance to take the best of RDR2, and
level it up

Here are 5 things GTA 6 can (and should) do better than RDR2.
1. Make the World Fun AND Realistic
RDR2 was crazy immersive, but sometimes...
a little too slow
. Skinning animations took forever, and Arthur's sluggish pace got tiring fast. GTA 6 can strike a better balance between realism and fun. Let us enjoy the immersive world of Leonida without having to brush our car's tires every five minutes. Give us detail, yes—but keep it
snappy
.
Red Dead Redemption 2s Combat Is NOT Good...
2. Modern Movement and Combat
Let's be real: Arthur Morgan's movement was clunky.
He'd trip over fences or get stuck in doorways like it was his first day with legs. Combat, while cinematic, often felt stiff and repetitive.
GTA 6 can change that. Give us fluid movement like modern action games. Tight gunplay. Smooth cover mechanics. Something that feels
fun
, not frustrating. Lucia and Jason deserve better mobility than Arthur ever had.
3. Better Urban Chaos
Red Dead was great, but you weren't exactly blowing stuff up in Saint Denis. GTA thrives on
urban madness
— speeding through traffic, launching rockets off rooftops, robbing stores in the middle of rush hour.
GTA 6's Vice City and Leonida can give us the dense, reactive cities RDR2 never had. Let us feel like every block has something going on — from street races to cop chases to viral stunts. Bring the mayhem back.

4. Deeper Customization
RDR2 let you dress up Arthur like a cowboy Ken doll, but GTA needs to go
next level
. Clothes, cars, weapons, apartments, social profiles — we want it all, and we want it personalized.
GTA 6 should let players own their criminal lifestyle, from Lucia's fits to Jason's safehouse setup. We're in 2026 — if we can't dye our car seats neon pink and stream it live, what are we even doing?
5. Less Micromanagement, More Fun
Feeding your horse, cleaning your guns, trimming your beard — cool the first time,
annoying the next 50
.

RDR2 went hard on realism, but GTA should focus on fun first.
Let us skip the chores. Make systems optional. Nobody's logging in to maintain their criminal hygiene. GTA 6 should be
about action
, not animal grooming.
RDR2 walked so GTA 6 can
steal a car and speed off into the neon sunset
. If Rockstar nails these five things, they're not just making a better game — they're making the best GTA ever.
