World · Spotted Game Informer Issue 382 cover story announcement, September 25 2026
Dynamic Weather System
GTA 6 has advanced weather systems built to simulate Florida's less sunny weather, per Game Informer's Issue 382 cover story announcement. Full details are in the digital issue on sale September 29.
Game Informer's Issue 382 cover story announcement on September 25 2026 says the feature covers GTA 6's 'advanced weather systems that simulate Florida's less sunny weather phenomena.' Push Square and Game Rant both reported the announcement the same day. Rockstar has not listed which weather events are in the game; storms are the obvious reading of 'less sunny,' but hurricanes specifically are unconfirmed.
Florida's climate sets the obvious expectation. The real state runs a long wet season from May through October, with afternoon thunderstorms a daily feature in summer and Atlantic hurricane season running June through November. A game set in a fictionalised version of that state, in a region modelled closely on Miami-Dade and the surrounding counties, would be underselling its world if weather amounted to a lighting filter. The Game Informer feature draws on exclusive interviews with Rockstar's lead designers. How weather interacts with missions, AI behaviour, and the open world is not confirmed until those details land.
