GTA 6 UI & HUD feels too plain
One of the biggest criticisms that GTA 6 is drawing right now is the minimalist approach to the HUD. Many fans were hoping that Rockstar would deliver a unique and stylish interface, as the game has been in development for so long.
According to many fans on Reddit and other social media platforms, the current design looks very generic and lacks the visual personality that has been seen in Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V.
Fans are not liking the mini-map as well. One Reddit user commented:
âIt took them 13 years to develop this game and youâre telling me I have to have this basic UI.â
