GTA 6: Safehouses to Feel Like Red Dead Redemption 2 Camps

New details on GTA 6: An IGN interview with Rob Nelson from Rockstar discusses the safehouses. According to the report, they are intended to feel more like the camps from Red Dead Redemption 2 than any previous GTA game. GamePro highlighted these passages.

What Do GTA 6 Safehouses Have in Common with RDR2 Camps?

It's about interactivity and the feeling of home. In RDR2, the Van der Linde gang's camp was more than just a menu hub: the crew went about their daily routines and reacted believably to Arthur. Exactly this feeling is intended for GTA 6's safehouses. The difference: according to the interview, Jason and Lucia are guests in someone else's house there.

How Do Jason and Lucia Function Together in the Safehouse?

According to Rob Nelson, both main characters can exist together in these locations. He states this is an exciting challenge because Rockstar needs to give them routines that feel believable. What exactly that will look like is still unknown.

Additionally, there's a detail about personal grooming: similar to the outlaw camps, players will be able to take care of hygiene and style in the safehouses, for example, trimming hair or Jason's beard. For a more significant makeover, barbershops will still be necessary.

What Does This Mean for the GTA 6 Game World?

This aligns with what we've heard recently: Rockstar wants to make the world more alive; we previously reported on the more open mission design with multiple escape routes. For players, this means there are apparently more reasons to simply linger in the characters' daily lives between missions.

From our perspective, this is good news for everyone who loved RDR2 for its slower pace – and a warning to those who only want action in GTA. Whether the safehouses ultimately feel as alive as the Van der Linde gang's camp will only be revealed by the finished game.
