The thing that might confuse several people is that the hiring process is being done by Rockstar Toronto based in Canada. By international locations, it would mean possible scans of locations in the United States. Several people on Reddit have discussed the possibility of having locations beyond the US which seems dim from the overall conclusions. In fact, it is not known yet whether this is for GTA 6 or any other title in development.

The inclusion of photogrammetry would mean some stellar display of graphics in GTA VI very similar to Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar is yet to comment anything on this speculation and has been relatively quiet on any development regarding GTA VI.
