Rockstar has finally shown the new trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, and the Internet – as expected – immediately exploded. Vice City is alive, the new heroine promises an exciting story, and the level of detail in the game world... simply blew me away. But among all the spectacular scenes, it was not the chases or sunsets that caused the biggest stir. It was beer bottles.
Small Detail, Big Effect
In one of the short scenes, the cameras glide over the bar. On the table – an ordinary, seemingly, bottle of beer. But the way it looks and reacts to light has nothing to do with "ordinariness." It's the realistic texture of the glass, reflections, condensation, and even the animated liquid inside – a level of detail worthy of animated films from Pixar. You can see an obsessive attachment to details here.
It’s not just that it “looks nice.” This level of rendering ordinary objects makes the world of GTA VI feel real. A seemingly minor detail, but it affects the entire experience.
Rockstar goes all in
This is not the first game to feature realistic bottles. But none have come close to this level. In GTA VI, the world not only looks realistic – it’s alive. Tire tracks on the asphalt, empty food wrappers, the movements of people in the background – everything gives the impression of a city that functions independently of the player.
This is a clear signal: Rockstar is not just returning with a new installment of the iconic series. The studio aims for something more – to create the most credible, polished open world in the history of gaming.

Next-generation game, without compromises
The trailer doesn't say much about the plot or mechanics, but it shows what next-generation quality looks like according to Rockstar. It's not about graphical bells and whistles, but about consistency and detail. If an ordinary beer bottle can look like a work of art, then what about larger elements of the world?
A premiere worth waiting for
Although the game was initially expected to debut in 2025, Rockstar has officially postponed the release of GTA VI to 2026. This is a disappointment for many fans, but at the same time, it signals that the studio wants to refine every detail – even the one trapped in a glass bottle.
One thing is certain: it promises to be a title that will redefine expectations for AAA games. Rockstar proves that true “next-gen” is not just about 4K resolution, but about a world that immerses the player to such an extent that they forget it's just a game.
And if the outcome is determined by a bottle of beer – so be it.
