Rockstar Games is overhauling vehicle theft in GTA 6 with completely new mechanics, according to GameSpot. The changes mark a significant departure from how car stealing has worked in previous Grand Theft Auto titles.
While specific details about the new system remain under wraps, the shift suggests Rockstar is reimagining one of the series’ core gameplay loops. This could affect how players approach missions, escape sequences, and general open-world exploration throughout Vice City.
The revamped theft mechanics represent one of several gameplay innovations Rockstar has confirmed for the next generation entry. For players counting down to launch, this overhaul of a fundamental mechanic hints at how substantially different the overall GTA 6 experience will feel compared to its predecessors.
