Top 5 returning mechanics we want to see in GTA 6

With GTA 6 being touted as a new generation of open-world storytelling and realism, fans are also looking forward to some old-school features making a comeback that made previous GTA games so memorable.

Whether it's some real role-playing depth or beloved chaos systems, here are the top five features players are clamoring for Rockstar to bring back in GTA 6.

1. Character stats & skill progression (San Andreas-style)

This is possibly the most asked-for feature. In GTA: San Andreas, CJ's driving, stamina, strength, and weapon skills increased with usage, so your character felt really distinct. Fans want that RPG-style stat system back, particularly with two leads, so that players can define Jason and Lucia differently depending on playstyle.

2. Car customization & performance upgrades

GTA: San Andreas and GTA Online set the stage for extensive car modification. Fans would love for GTA 6 to include even higher-level tuning, not only in terms of aesthetics, but in terms of performance. Consider swapping engines, nitrous overhauls, adjustable suspension, and a more extensive garage management system in multiple properties.

3. Multiple safehouses & interior access

Those days of having homes all over the map are behind us. The fans are now looking for safehouses to come back in full force, preferably with interchangeable interiors, upgraded garages, and quick travel features.

Having private bases throughout Vice City and the rest of the map would make the map seem more lived-in and usable.

4. Property & business ownership

Vice City and GTA V allow you to own movie theaters, nightclubs, and more for passive income. Fans would like GTA 6 to add more depth to this mechanic, with realistic repercussions (such as getting raided or sued), and special missions attached to each business. It's capitalism in the GTA universe, and gamers adore it.

5. Police heat levels & hiding mechanics

Most players miss the old 6-star wanted system that was harsher and tougher than in GTA V. They also desire more smart police pursuits, evasion systems such as disguising oneself by dressing up or staying low in safehouses, and stealth features to narrowly escape the police realistically.GTA 6 can innovate in so many ways, but reviving these fan-favorite features might take the experience to the next level tenfold. These mechanics aren't simply nostalgic, people love them for a reason. Given a modern treatment using today's technology, they could make GTA 6 Rockstar's most immersive game ever.Also Read: India emerges as key contributor to GTA 6’s creation
