7 intriguing leaked features that GTA 6 fans are looking forward to

1) Pick up and drop items

Rockstar Games is re-introducing the pick-up and drop items features in the next Untitled Grand Theft Auto game. Several videos showed Jason and Lucia dropping and picking up weapons from the ground. The dropped items also had icons above them, indicating that they could be interacted with. However, it is currently uncertain whether the feature will apply to all movable items or just weapons. Nonetheless, fans are eager to have it in GTA 6.

4) Video memory warning

The GTA 6 leaks showed Rockstar Games using the following prompt to warn low-end hardware users about the game’s condition:

“The game is running on low memory. Please close other applications or reduce your graphics settings.”

The upcoming game is anticipated to be one of the most ambitious projects of the studio. Many believe it will only be released for high-end hardware. While it is true to an extent, the warning prompt has given budget gamers, especially PC users, some hope as they’ll be able to calibrate their settings properly.

5) Adjustable mini-map

Every Grand Theft Auto game has its mini-map set to the bottom left corner of the screen. However, some of the GTA 6 leaked clips showed the mini-map in the bottom right corner as well. Therefore, it is safe to assume that Rockstar Games will allow players to set the mini-map position according to their preferences. However, a solid confirmation is still awaited.

6) Changes in the weapon wheel

The weapon wheel is also getting a revamp, and it will include more items in the inventory. In GTA 5, the weapon wheel appears in the middle of the screen. However, the leaked clips showed that the new weapon wheel would appear towards the center-right position. It also had some extra options to the bottom left and a duffle bag icon that could store more items inside.

7) Improved ragdoll physics

The ragdoll physics in GTA 6 seemed to be improving compared to Grand Theft Auto 5. There is no denying that Grand Theft Auto 4 has the best ragdoll mechanics, and the latest title is a downgrade in this aspect. However, the leaked clips showed Rockstar Games re-calibrating the ragdoll mechanics and adding more realistic effects to the characters.
