1 New GTA 6 details keep surfacing almost weekly, and this latest batch might be the most interesting yet.

10 New GTA 6 Details — Full Breakdown
1. 🚔 The Radar Highlights Everything
1 According to MikeShowSha, the radar highlights police officers in blue, marks interactive objects like explosives in red, and even points out doors that can be entered or interacted with.
2. 🧠 Criminal Profile Reflects Who YOU Are
10 The Criminal Profile does not award special powers for being “good” or “bad.” It reflects what kind of criminal each character is becoming. 11 GTA 6 tracks the type of criminal the player becomes, ranging from calculated and professional to reckless and violent — and the consequences extend into police responses and the wider criminal world.
3. 🏃 Sprinting Gets a Full Rework
12 Character movement feels noticeably smoother than Red Dead Redemption 2, and sprinting no longer requires repeatedly tapping a button. Instead, holding down the L3 stick triggers a sprint, freeing up the face button for other actions.
4. 🚗 Your Personal Car Is Delivered by an NPC
10 Calling your personal car doesn’t simply spawn it nearby — an NPC physically delivers it, gets out, and rides away on an electric scooter. Rob Nelson even noticed Jason didn’t thank the driver and immediately told the development team to fix the interaction.
5. 🔫 NPCs Can Fight Back — And Steal Your Weapon
1 Depending on how visibly armed a player is, NPCs won’t all react the same way. Some panic and run off, but others might actually walk up and try to wrestle the weapon right out of the player’s hands — MikeShowSha described seeing this happen firsthand during his session.
6. 👤 Both Characters Have Background Routines
1 The character who isn’t being controlled doesn’t just freeze in place waiting around — MikeShowSha specifically mentions each of them having their own routine running in the background.
7. 🚘 Vehicle Scanning App Is a Game Changer
10 A vehicle scanning app can reveal a car’s value, security level, and registration cost — making car theft a far more strategic and calculated affair than in any previous GTA title.
8. 🗞️ Newspapers Are Physical, Readable Collectibles
10 Newspapers can be physically picked up, opened, and read, with some functioning as collectibles — a level of world-building detail that signals how deep Rockstar has gone with Leonida’s living, breathing environment.
9. 🎯 Switch Characters Mid-Chase — Shoot & Drive Simultaneously
10 Players can switch between Jason and Lucia during a chase, allowing one character to drive while the other shoots at pursuing police. 3 MikeShowSha described a nighttime escape which began on a scooter before Jason and Lucia transferred into a car — during the pursuit, the player could rapidly switch between the protagonists.
10. 🤼 NPCs Dress Contextually to Their Environment
5 NPC appearance changes granularly — athletic gear-wearing NPCs appear near a gym, while more casual clothes are seen near Jason and Lucia’s homes. In the gym, an NPC even insulted Lucia’s appearance, Lucia promptly knocked her out, and the woman’s boyfriend ran away.
🏆 Bonus: The Random Event That Stunned Rockstar Themselves
10 During the 2-hour GTA 6 demo, MikeShowSha encountered a random event that Rockstar’s team said had never happened during months of testing — two masked women had botched a jewelry store robbery and become trapped inside while the alarm blared. Mike and Rob let them out, then robbed the store themselves!

GTA 6’s Three-Currency Money System
9 GTA 6 has three forms of money: bank funds, physical cash, and stolen goods carried in duffel bags. Money stored in the bank is safe and can be managed using the BuckMe app. Cash held by the player can be lost upon death and must be physically deposited at an ATM. Loot stored in duffel bags cannot be spent until it is sold to a fence.
Combat — A Massive Upgrade From GTA 5
9 Some NPCs can draw concealed weapons and fight back when threatened. Weapons now have greater recoil and weight, and players cannot continuously fire a rifle with the same accuracy as in GTA 5. Jason and Lucia can even physically hand weapons to each other. 9 Optional kill cameras inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2 and Max Payne are included. Crouching is separate from the traditional cover system and allows players to strafe during combat, and shoulder switching returns from Red Dead Redemption 2.
