Ever since several developmental clips of GTA 6 were leaked online back in September 2022, no other leaks of this magnitude have occurred thus far. However, a Reddit user, u/Pebblestar_, recently claimed to have seen the upcoming title's gameplay, sharing some interesting details over the last few days. This has gained the attention of Grand Theft Auto fans.
So, in this article, we will look at five GTA 6 feature rumors from u/Pebblestar_'s posts that may potentially be true. That said, readers are still advised to take their claims with a grain of salt.
Note: Some aspects of this article are based on speculation and leaks. Readers are advised to take the information with a grain of salt.
Around 40% enterable buildings, and 4 other recent GTA 6 feature rumors that might turn out to be true
1) Realistic vehicle physics
Vehicles play an important role in Grand Theft Auto games, and u/Pebblestar_ claims that vehicle physics would be more realistic in the series' next installment. They even suggest that crash physics would exhibit more deformities and bending.
Rockstar Games implemented pretty realistic driving physics with Grand Theft Auto 4. The title was released in 2008 and car deformation was much more pronounced in it compared to GTA 5. With all the technological advancements in the years since, this rumor could turn out to be true.
2) NPC routines and cleaning up crash debris
Among the first set of GTA 6 features claimed by the Redditor, u/Pebblestar_, was the mention of NPCs arriving to clean up debris left after significant crashes. While that post has now been deleted, its screenshots are attached in the X post above. The Redditor also suggested that construction workers would set up poles and do road work.
Considering the NPCs in Red Dead Redemption 2, another Rockstar title, do go about their scripted routines in a detailed manner, the developer improving upon it for Grand Theft Auto 6 wouldn't be too unlikely. However, that remains to be seen.
3) Around 40% enterable buildings
Another intriguing feature that u/Pebblestar_ claims to have seen is regarding accessible interiors. The Redditor suggests that around 40% of buildings may be accessible in the upcoming title.
A section of debug code spotted in the September 2022 GTA 6 leaks seemingly suggested the presence of many interiors as well, adding a little weight to the rumor.
4) NPCs recording events
The deleted post in which u/Pebblestar_ claimed to have seen GTA 6 gameplay, also suggested that some NPCs may record some of the things they witness, such as shootings and car crashes. They may also be able to call the cops in such scenarios.
The reason this rumored feature could turn out to be true is because Rockstar had implemented a similar witness system in Red Dead Redemption 2. Even in Mafia 3 (developed by Hangar 13), NPCs can alert cops upon observing a crime.
5) Multiple inventories
The Redditor, u/Pebblestar_, has also claimed that Grand Theft Auto 6 may have multiple inventories. While one would be the regular weapon wheel for when on foot, the other may be a car trunk inventory in which items like clothing and weapon attachments can be stored.
Interestingly, Red Dead Redemption 2 has a similar feature, where players can carry some weapons on foot, and store the rest on their horse. Moreover, the 2022 GTA 6 leaks also suggested that players might have limited weapon-carrying capacity.
Readers are once again reminded to take these rumors with a grain of salt.
