GTA 6's Impressive NPC Count Outshines GTA 5 in New Trailer

Exciting Discoveries in the GTA 6 Trailer

GTA 6 fans have spotted a detail in the trailer that just goes to show how much more in-depth and bigger the new game will be compared to GTA 5.

After years of silence and secrecy, Rockstar Games finally gave the gaming world the first look at GTA 6 back in December 2023. While it wasn’t in-depth on gameplay and story details, it satisfied a lot of fans’ hunger for the new game.

Since then, Rockstar and their publishers, Take-Two, have gone back to being silent. They’ve not revealed anything else about GTA 6 since that first trailer.

Fan Discoveries

That has prompted fans to pour over the 90-second-long video again and again. Some fans have watched it thousands of times, trying to find something they may not have done before. Recently, a fan, Redditor great_maccc, went through the trailer once again and noted that there are over 630 NPCs in it. For comparison, GTA 5’s first trailer only had 71 NPCs, showcasing that Rockstar has almost 10x the detailing this time around.

• One fan expressed their excitement: "I hope there’s a big increase in NPC population. I thought for years that population density will be one of their next major milestone in the GTA series."
• Another chimed in: "That’s insane, just shows how much greater and bigger this game is going to be! I cannot wait man."
• A third fan remarked: "This is madness."

Some fans have been demanding some sort of communication from Rockstar as we approach 2025. Whether that be screenshots, another trailer, or quick teasers, they just want something. Given it’s been nearly a year since the first one, it’s about time for more updates.
