So far, we don't know what the next installment of Cyberpunk 2077, which has been confirmed to be in development, and GTA 6, which Rockstar has been working on for a long time but there's nothing new except that it's in development, could look like. But beyond the information we have about both titles, the difference between them should be small when they're released sometime in the future.

Cyberpunk 2077 was established as an open world game that takes place in a large and spacious city full of residents, missions and NPCs, and this is what the GTA series was built on in the past, and from that point of view we can say that the two games can compete fiercely at some point in the future.

There are 3 elements in which the following Cyberpunk 2077 game can compete with GTA 6 if the developer wants, and they are the following:

Car chases and combat system

The GTA series is one of the first games to master this, and there is absolutely no doubt about it. We don't expect GTA 6 to lag behind this principle on which the series was founded, and we may see new innovations that could make the vehicle chases in the new game more exciting and epic. But what about the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077?

Cyberpunk 2077 When it was first revealed, many began to see it as a competitor to the GTA series, especially since it featured the open world element in a large city and there are many different streets, both inside and outside the city, along with various vehicles that the game's hero V can drive and switch from one vehicle to another. And all these elements that could make the game a true competitor to the GTA game.

In addition, the combat system at close and long range, vehicle shooting, etc., all of this was established in the game, but we did not see it working as required in the final version, but it can be said that it is a good basis for a second part in which we can see significant improvements in the combat system and car chases. And the game is very well prepared for this.

Police and Enemy System

At the beginning of the Cyberpunk 2077 reveal, the police system was revised in the game, which made us say with full force that the game will be a true competitor to the GTA 5 series at the time. But with the launch of the game and the great deficiencies it suffered, whether in content or performance, we made a retreat on this issue, as the system was very primitive and very imperfect.

However, Cyberpunk 2077 can expand this point in its next part to be a real competitor to the GTA 6 game, by focusing the developer on two main points, namely the police and the “wanted” or “wanted” system that can make the game compete strongly.

The police in Cyberpunk 2077 is a weak element where you see the police suddenly appear from nearby points while they do not start a chase if you try to escape from the place, and this is what should be focused on in the next game as it simulates an integrated police system that starts with the reporting system and then the arrival of the police to the place and then the chases can begin on the streets of the city.

Furthermore, this will mainly depend on the “wanted” or “wanted” system, which will reflect your popularity in the city and how the police will deal with you in case you are seen somewhere.

Of course, all of this requires developers to implement a good AI system that makes the response and chase exciting every time.

There is also another point in the game Cyberpunk 2077 that can be well explored and make the game more exciting than GTA 6 perhaps, which are the gangs that can play a big role in the search and pursuit of the hero of the game on the streets of the city or vice versa, and with the laws of the mafia and gangs it can be that kind It is more exciting and chaotic chases, unlike police chases.

Online multiplayer game

Of course, the most popular phase that helped spread the GTA series and its popularity was the online phase that Rockstar treated as a standalone game. For example, we currently have GTA Online, which has millions of players every day.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set up very well to have a unique online mode. Imagine roaming the streets of Night City with your friends, doing whatever you want and collecting as much money as you want.

It's a perfect world for something like this, though we'd still like a basic single-player storyline, much like GTA 5. Supposedly this was the plan at some point for a cyberpunk game with online multiplayer, but indications are now that CDPR's Futurism projects will feature multiplayer, and it's been widely implied that the next Cyberpunk installment will be one of those projects.

Their next project definitely won't need to generate a trillion dollars in revenue like GTA Online to be successful, fun, and a good addition to the game, and if handled correctly we can see it being a huge way to open up the game and the world.

The next Cyberpunk game could compete strongly with the next installment in the GTA series if it also features a deep story in addition to all of the above. Imagine the game having a story that spans around 70 hours or more in Night City.

CD Project Red is known for its way of presenting and telling stories, especially in the side quests that have inspired many other games and developers, most recently Sony's exclusive God of War Ragnarok.

Do our followers think the next part of the Cyberpunk 2077 series can compete with GTA 6 if the above is implemented?
