10 things Rockstar Games should improve in GTA 6 Online

1) Add dedicated servers

The upcoming title should mandatorily come with dedicated servers. GTA Online players on PC have suffered for a long time due to the lack of this feature. Thus, the PC version of GTA 6 should prioritize adding dedicated servers for the online mode.

2) Missions should be solo-friendly

Rockstar should consider making all missions in GTA 6 Online solo-friendly. Many GTA Online players currently prefer playing solo in private lobbies. The developer should make missions possible both with other players and solo.

3) Make the lobbies bigger

Lobbies in the upcoming multiplayer game should be bigger than GTA Online. While the GTA 6 leaks showed only a 30-player lobby, the final version should incorporate more players. It would be great if Rockstar could make them support up to 100 players.

4) No more aimbot NPCs

NPCs in GTA 6 Online should not be aimbots like in GTA Online. While sharpshooting skills for police and the army are acceptable, regular enemies should not be able to eliminate players by shooting at them from far away.

5) The map should expand with time

Map expansion should be one of the major changes in GTA 6 Online. Instead of expanding internally like GTA Online, Rockstar Games should make the open world grow outward. This would retain the playerbase for a long period in the future.

6) NPCs should drive properly

Some NPC drivers in GTA Online are lunatics who try to kill or ram into you for no reason. This should be reprogrammed in the upcoming game and make the driving experience better for gamers. Otherwise, GTA 6 may fall short of expectations.

7) Balanced in-game prices

The commodities in GTA 6 Online should be priced properly. The imbalanced economy is a major issue in GTA Online and should be ironed out. Things should be priced according to their value and utility.

8) In-game futuristic tech should be limited

Rockstar Games should reduce the use of futuristic tech in GTA 6 Online. GTA Online has plenty of them, which change the core gameplay style. The developer could also limit futuristic tech for certain game modes to balance the new gameplay.

9) Better character customization

Character customization in GTA Online feels lackluster. Rockstar should add more customization options in GTA 6 multiplayer. Many new games allow players to extensively customize their characters, which is something GTA 6 should follow.

10) Lesser number of loading screens

The black loading screens should be reduced in GTA 6 Online to improve a player's experience. Characters should be able to enter and exit various buildings normally, without having to go through cutscenes. Similarly, gamers should also be able to skip mission cutscenes.
