GTA 6’s buses are part of Rockstar’s testing too. According to GamesRadar+, technical director Phil Hooker regularly rides them to check routes and schedules and has memorised the routes.
It is part of the plan to give players different ways to spend time in Leonida. Exploring the city can involve more than driving between missions.
The mission can wait
Director Aaron Garbut mentioned shopping, train journeys and nightclub visits. Co-studio head Rob Nelson explained that the team wants to offer these activities without making them compulsory chores. Players can choose how to enjoy the game.
For players who enjoy leaving a mission for later and exploring at their own pace, even a bus ride can become part of the outing.
