GTA 6 map won’t have tornadoes or hurricanes, as per the new report

As can be seen in the aforementioned post, a fan shared their desire to see hurricanes or tornadoes in the GTA 6 map. Here’s what Rockstar Universe said following their claim of the scrapped weather plans for the forthcoming game:

“I’ve heard they wanted hurricanes and tornadoes, as to why they were cut I don’t know. It could be tech limitation, it could be something else.”

Just Cause 4, a game similar to GTA, had extreme weather effects that blew the minds of gamers back in 2018. While the rumors are unconfirmed, it won’t be surprising if Rockstar somehow manages to add some realistic weather effects to Grand Theft Auto 6.
