Fresh leaks have surfaced for Grand Theft Auto VI, offering extensive insight into its story structure, gameplay mechanics, and overall design approach. The information comes from a known leaker named Gameroll, who has previously shared accurate details related to the game. These revelations largely align with a prior post made on the GamingLeaks subreddit, strengthening the credibility of these claims as fans eagerly await Rockstar’s official updates.
According to the latest details, the much-requested six-star wanted level system is making a return, reviving one of the classic features from earlier titles in the series. In addition, relationship bars resembling the honor system from Red Dead Redemption 2 have been confirmed. These relationship dynamics will influence how non-playable characters respond to the player’s actions throughout the open world. Furthermore, weight mechanics, underwater exploration with treasures and secrets, and the ability to greet or antagonize strangers are also included, echoing systems seen in Rockstar’s past titles.
The character wheel system allows players to switch between Jason and Lucia individually or control them together during specific heist scenarios, providing flexibility in both mission design and free roam activities. Jason possesses a “dead-eye” style ability to slow time and highlight weak points during combat, while Lucia shares a version of this skill but in a more limited capacity. Reactions from non-playable characters to drawn weapons, the inclusion of male strippers, improved driving mechanics, and advanced gore and dismemberment features based on Red Dead Redemption 2’s system have also been mentioned.
Weapons will once again be limited, with storage confined to the vehicle trunk, reminiscent of RDR2’s system. The GPS system has been adjusted to a rectangular format with pink waypoints. Over 700 shops, multiple accessible skyscrapers, and shopping malls with functioning elevators are also rumored, although this particular claim was treated with skepticism by the leaker.
On the narrative side, minor story information surfaced, suggesting that Lucia has a troubled past involving the abandonment of her child prior to her arrest, a detail revealed in a flashback cutscene. Upon release, she reconnects with Jason, setting the foundation for their criminal partnership and eventual romantic involvement. Initial missions include pursuits involving drug deals gone wrong, leading to underwater retrieval operations, hinting at varied mission scenarios.
The story is reportedly structured into five chapters, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2, with the majority of the scenes seen in Trailer 2 coming from the first three chapters. Players will visit an island map lacking a panhandle region, differentiating it from previous speculation.
Some features allegedly cut or missing include fully nude scenes, listening to music outside of vehicles, prone movement, dual-wielding firearms, a burglary mini-game, and a parody of Disney World.
While none of this information is officially confirmed by Rockstar Games, the consistency with earlier leaks adds weight to these reports. However, as the game remains in development, some features or content may change before its scheduled release on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
