Among the numerous GTA 5 features that Rockstar Games has introduced over the years, there are a handful that have left a deep impression on players. Naturally, fans want the developer to add these features to GTA 6. According to them, this will not only make the game better, but it will also give players a sense of familiarity.
This article lists five GTA 5 features that should be available in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game.

5 GTA 5 features that would work quite well in GTA 6
1) The seamless switch between protagonists
Since GTA 6 will have a protagonist duo, Lucia and Jason (name unconfirmed), it would make sense for Rockstar Games to add the character switch feature from GTA 5 to the upcoming title.
Grand Theft Auto 5 has three protagonists, each with their own set of missions, and players can switch between them almost any time they want. The switches are seamless and often lead to hilarious mini-cutscenes. This means players can change characters quickly without having to go through hoops or multiple steps. GTA 6 will most definitely benefit from this feature.
2) Protagonist abilities should be a part of GTA 6
Each GTA 5 protagonist possesses a unique ability that lets them perform a certain action. This is an aspect of the game that fans love, and it would be great if both Lucia and Jason in GTA 6 have a similar feature.
These abilities can range from slowing down time momentarily and letting players get a headshot or drift around a corner without crashing to giving an adrenaline pump that makes you soak more damage.
3) Easy access to the online multiplayer mode
While this might sound trivial, Rockstar Games does not restrict players from joining GTA Online without first completing the single-player mode. This is a great feature for returning players or those who have completed the game on another platform and simply wish to enjoy the online multiplayer mode. The option to seamlessly hop in and out of the modes is also of great help.
Rockstar Games should ensure that players can hop right into GTA 6 Online when they add it to the upcoming game. This will make the gameplay mode much more accessible to everybody as they would not have to complete the story mode to proceed further.
4) Multiple options to pick from during mission prep
One of the best GTA 5 features is the variety of options players get during most of the missions in the game. The title lets them pick from stealth or chaotic approaches, which also changes the difficulty of the mission. The option to pick one's own crew and build a team further enhances this feature.
Since GTA 6 will have multiple protagonists and most likely an elaborate cast, the title should offer similar options when preparing for missions. Not only would this make things interesting, but it would also increase the replayability of the game.
5) Switching weapons slows down time
Another significant GTA 5 feature that should return in GTA 6 is the slowing of time when players switch weapons.
Grand Theft Auto 5 allows players to quickly swap between guns using the weapons wheel. However, accessing it slows down the time, enabling players to cycle through their weapons and pick the one they're looking for. This means fans can take their time looking for the perfect weapon without getting killed in the process.
Rockstar Games should definitely have this feature or something similar in its upcoming Grand Theft Auto installment. Hopefully, the second GTA 6 trailer showcases how it works.
