With a game as large as Grand Theft Auto 6, new previews are bound to touch on details fans haven't heard about yet. If fans believe they know about these ideas, they may come to find that GTA 6's gameplay is actually more complex than they originally thought. With only a few weeks before release, Rockstar Games is dishing out more of the game's tantalizing features.
The latest dispatch comes from IGN in the form of a long-form interview with Rockstar Games' co-studio head, Rob Nelson, during a 30-minute playthrough of Grand Theft Auto 6. The full thing is a lengthy read that's worth your time, but we've highlighted some of the major details fans should know about. Much like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 6's world is full of wacky encounters waiting to be found.
In the interview, IGN mentioned the discovery of a man in a dumpster who asked them for pills. Later on, that same man gave the outlet legal advice. Beyond those encounters, Rockstar also teased that shops around the GTA 6 map have exclusive goodies, like location-specific hairstyles, which they hope will get players checking out every nook and cranny.
In previous Grand Theft Auto games, and after any initial tutorials, players could more or less do whatever they wanted in the open world straight from the jump. GTA 6 will be a little stricter. Rockstar says that, at the start, some parked cars won't be accessible until the player gets farther into the game (though they can always carjack drivers).
Another major difference is the handling of money. Rockstar says cash is more important now, and that players won't be able to get further into the story until they collect enough money. Early looks at the game suggest the player will only be able to carry around a limited amount of moola as well.
Fans know that every star on the Wanted system represents an escalation of police violence, but something new in GTA 6 is the introduction of hollowed-out stars. These types of empty stars signal that authorities have been alerted to a crime, but they don't yet know who committed it. Another curious tidbit: Rockstar says that getting a single full single star isn't a big deal, and that players will be able to lose it easily.
