Amidst the talk about the release date of the GTA 6 game, which is multiplying day by day, and the major leaks that have occurred recently, which have revealed many details about the upcoming game. But there is at least one thing that Rockstar has to fix in the next game, which is one of the worst things we have faced in the current game, GTA 5.

Although the GTA 5 game and its online mode have been re-released on new-gen platforms with slightly better quality, the long loading screen issue is still one of the existing problems, which is a big inconvenience for many of us.

Rockstar tried to solve the problem by making the GTA Online game login separate from the GTA 5 game, so that the player can directly enter the main interface. However, this issue was not a qualitative solution to the problem, which still persists to this day. On the contrary, this step may have increased the time to enter the online mode compared to the first method.

One of the players shared a video on Reddit showing the length of the loading screen when entering the game directly compared to the length of the loading screen when entering the story mode. The result was as you can see in the video below.

For those who don't know, initially you were supposed to enter multiplayer mode by first entering story mode in GTA 5, and then entering online mode.

This issue should be avoided in GTA 6 at all costs.

It may be too late for Rockstar to fix this problem in GTA 5. But it has to put a radical and fundamental solution in the next part of the series, which it has been developing for several years, to be released sometime in the next few years.

Rockstar, according to some informed sources, will skip the launch of GTA 6 on the previous generation platforms. In the development of the game, it will focus on exploiting the capabilities of the new platforms, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, which are characterized by fast loading thanks to many technologies planted in them, the most prominent of which is the use of highly modified high-speed SSDs.

This means that there should be no loading screens and no waiting for the next Rockstar game. Since the appearance of these loading screens is intended to load the complete worlds before the player enters the game, but with the presence of fast platforms like next-gen devices, these screens should not take too long.

Rockstar relies on the RAGE engine to develop its games, which receives continuous updates and improvements with each new game project. This means that the engine received significant improvements before Rockstar began work on GTA 6.

While Rockstar tries to learn from the issues it encounters in its previous projects, some things may not be easy to overcome. The problem with GTA 5 loading screens may be caused by the fact that the game contains a lot of details, which will take a long time to download everything at once. And with modest hardware like high-end devices, this problem cannot be avoided.

And with the launch of a new generation of home appliances, Rockstar will take the quality of its games to another level, and this was confirmed by the parent company T2, which excited the public and investors through its statements during the quarterly conference call, where it hinted that the next Grand Theft Auto game will not be a leap. This will not only mark the history of the series, but will also have an impact on the video game industry as a whole.

This means we'll see much more detail than we've seen in previous games, as well as the use of high-quality visual effects and technologies. This, of course, will require storage space and high data transfer speeds to prepare before the player jumps in to explore the world.

But the question remains here, will Rockstar avoid the slow loading issue in its next game or will it focus on supporting the game world with details and effects that can take a lot of platforms to load?

This remains to be seen as a matter of the RAGE engine's capabilities, and how well it exploits the capabilities of new platforms, but in terms of these platforms, high-speed input and output technologies have been implemented that we haven't seen before, even on personal computers for some time now, especially the PlayStation 5, which has always been admired by developers due to its high data transfer speeds. And if the game engine is tuned to take advantage of these capabilities, Rockstar may be able to avoid players getting stuck on loading screens for too long, as is the case with GTA 5.

However, there may be another issue that contributes to long loading screens, especially when entering online mode, which is the servers and the matchmaking system that requires connection and synchronization with them before entering the game.

This means that Rockstar not only needs to improve its engine to take advantage of the speed of next-gen platforms, but it also needs to improve the quality and speed of its servers, which play a big role in extending download times.

Rockstar always listens to the fans of its games, and with the long loading screen issue emerging as one of the most technical issues that GTA 5 and GTA Online fans have been complaining about, Rockstar may put this issue among its priorities to fix it fully or partially in the GTA 6 game.

Unfortunately, Rockstar has not shared with us, as of writing this report, any details about the next Grand Theft Auto, other than confirming that it is in development and that it is arriving on schedule.
