A breathtaking graphical overhaul of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5) has taken the gaming community by storm, showcasing just how far modders can push the decade-old title. The “Natural Vision Evolved” mod by Razed Mods transforms Los Santos into what many are calling the most photorealistic version of the game ever seen.

The GTA 5 mod completely reworks:
- Environmental lighting and weather systems
- World textures and building models
- Vegetation and ambient colors
- Overall tone mapping and visual effects
Is This GTA 6’s Future?
When Reddit user u/MisunderstoodBadger1 shared screenshots of the mod, many commenters initially refused to believe they were looking at GTA 5. The images showcase a Los Santos that blurs the line between game and reality, with stunningly accurate lighting, hyper-detailed textures, and lifelike environmental effects.
This has led to intense speculation about what Rockstar might achieve with GTA 6’s visuals. While the mod demonstrates what’s possible with current technology, fans debate whether Rockstar will pursue this level of photorealism or opt for a more stylized approach that better serves gameplay.
The Photorealism Debate
The community appears divided on whether GTA 6 should aim for this level of realism:
- Some argue hyper-realism would enhance immersion in the crime saga
- Others worry it might limit Rockstar’s artistic vision and gameplay possibilities
- Many note that even current-gen consoles might struggle with such demanding graphics
As one Redditor noted: “This is impressive, but GTA has always been about more than just graphics. The world needs to feel alive, not just look pretty.”
What This Means for GTA 6
While the mod showcases impressive technical achievements, Rockstar’s approach will likely balance:
- Visual fidelity with performance requirements
- Realism with stylized artistic direction
- Graphical splendor with interactive world depth
