Summary

  • IGN said a Rockstar North preview exposed 69 new GTA 6 gameplay details, centering on switchable leads Jason and Lucia, whose relationship can deepen through shared activities but remains optional.
  • 6-star wanted levels return with a witness-based police system that tracks suspects by appearance, clothing and vehicles, pushing players toward masks, outfit changes, abandoned cars and fast hit-and-run escapes.
  • Money plays a bigger role than in past GTA games: players may need to raise cash to unlock main missions through robberies, bank heists and boosting cars that now require scans, tools and fences.
  • Vice City’s wider world is built to reward free roaming, with emergent NPC interactions, detailed safehouses, physical stat changes, animal study, mini-games and a phone-based interface integrated into the game world.
  • Rockstar also told IGN the story is designed for replayability, with small and major choices shaping outcomes while blending open-world behavior more closely into missions and character arcs.
