Rockstar Games is pushing the boundaries of detail in Grand Theft Auto VI with a newly revealed system designed to meticulously simulate character sweat. This level of granular realism aims to further enhance the immersive experience, a hallmark of the developer's previous titles like Red Dead Redemption.
According to reporting, the game features a scripted system that dynamically adjusts the amount of sweat generated by characters, including protagonists Jason and Lucia, based on their in-game actions.

This attention to detail is cited as a contributing factor to the game's extensive development time, estimated at eight years of dedicated work, and its considerable budget, positioning it as potentially the most expensive video game ever produced.
