GTA 6 patent leak hints at big character customization features

The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been filled with rumors, speculations, and tiny leaks — but this time, there’s something more solid. Details have surfaced straight from filed patent documents by Take-Two Interactive, hinting at new features we might see in the game.

While Rockstar’s first official GTA 6 trailer teased possible locations, it revealed little else. The studio has remained extremely secretive about game details and even the much-anticipated second trailer. Still, fans have been piecing together every clue, and one YouTuber might have struck gold.

Leaked Details Spotted by YouTuber CYBER BOI

In an exciting turn, YouTuber CYBER BOI dove deep into an 88-page patent document filed last year and discovered several innovations that could reshape how characters move and behave in GTA 6.

According to the YouTuber, many of these patents focus on character animations — covering everything from walking to running and interacting with the game world. In past GTA titles, character animations heavily relied on motion capture — which meant hiring actors of different body types to accurately reflect varied characters like tall, slim, or stout individuals.

What’s New? Smarter, Adaptive Animations

Rockstar’s new patented technology aims to automate and enhance these animations without the need for matching actors for every body type. The game engine would intelligently handle animations for characters of different heights, builds, and weights.

While it might sound like a small tweak, this breakthrough could unlock major customization options for players, especially in the online multiplayer mode. Players would finally be able to fine-tune their avatar’s height, weight, and physical build — offering a far more diverse and personalized experience than ever before.

What This Means for GTA 6

Beyond online character customization, this technology is expected to improve single-player animations too, making characters move more naturally, regardless of body type. It also means Rockstar can redirect time and resources toward building more immersive worlds, deeper missions, and unique gameplay mechanics.

For now, we’re still waiting for Rockstar to drop the next official trailer. But with leaks like these — pulled straight from patent filings — GTA 6 is shaping up to be the most ambitious game in the series yet.
