The detail in GTA 5 that players have noticed for the first time in 12 years: “I did not even know this was a thing”
It has to do with the three protagonists of the video game.
Gamers eagerly await the arrival of GTA 6, a release that has been a long time coming but won’t be long in hitting stores, barring any last-minute delays. Meanwhile, 12 years after its release, GTA 5 still holds a few secrets, such as this one that has been discovered and shared on Reddit.
It was user Late_Redditor_88 who posted the thread and asked the community about the issue in question. It turns out that in GTA 5, each character has a different sun glare when standing in front of the sun.
A feature also available on Xbox 360 and PS3 versions
One user responded with surprise: “I did not even know this was a thing.” or That sounds like something rockstar would do” Others wondered whether this particular detail was something Rockstar Games had consciously implemented, but another user replied that it had been present in the game since the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
The mystery that still remains is why Tracy, who is not a playable character in GTA 5, also enjoys a particular prominence, just like the protagonists Trevor, Franklin, and Michael. Surely, only Rockstar Games knows the answer... or perhaps a current or former member of the development team. Who knows, maybe it will be revealed in the future.
After releasing optimized versions of GTA 5 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PS5, GTA 6 will hit the market on May 26, 2026, initially only for consoles.
