10 Things We Want To See In GTA 6

10 Things We Want to See in GTA VI

Welcome to MojoPlays, and today we are getting over-excited, and speculating wildly. These are 10 Things We Want to See in GTA VI. GTA V was (for all intents and purposes) a perfect game, but even at perfection we can learn a lot, and we’re hoping some of the things we’ve learned about the game will have also been learned by Rockstar, and then implemented.

#10: More Activities To Participate In

A major factor behind GTA V: Online's enduring success is the constant introduction of new activities with each update, building on the game's already robust foundation. From the start, players could engage in arm-wrestling, tennis, darts, golf, rides at the Del Perro Pier, shooting ranges, arcade games, yoga, time trial races, skydiving, and more. GTA 6 should adopt a similar approach, expanding these activities to create an even more immersive world. Adding sports like basketball and skateboarding, introducing more bars and social spots, and enhancing shooting range mechanics with options like archery and hunting could significantly broaden gameplay options. With an evolving world and more minigames, the simple pleasure of walking around the landscape of GTA could fill an entire real world day. What is life if not a series of events punctuated by peculiar little moments? Well maybe the peculiar little moments are the actual game.

#9: More Heist Options

With GTA V, Rockstar placed a heavy emphasis on money, allowing players to earn money in illegitimate ways, like heists and robberies. Yet, for all the heists in the game, players are tightly bound to the script. These missions may feel thrilling the first time but quickly lose their allure when you realize your choices have minimal impact. With GTA 6, Rockstar has a chance to redefine the heist experience by making them smaller in scale but far more dynamic. Imagine the ability to rob gas stations, bank branches, or jewelry stores, bringing the series back to its criminal roots in a meaningful way. Additionally, robberies could evolve beyond simply intimidating shopkeepers. Not wearing a mask might make players recognizable in certain locations. Even better, allow players to plan and execute their own heists in freemode, just as they do in missions. The options are endless!

#8: Stream Music

The Grand Theft Auto series is often celebrated for its incredible soundtracks. I can’t tell you how much time I spent in GTA San Andreas, driving around listening to K-Rose. Moments like these are sure to return in the next installment, but GTA 6 has an opportunity to modernize and expand on this feature with two new additions: music streaming, and listening while walking or cycling. Music streaming services are already integrated into modern consoles and PCs, making it feasible to incorporate this feature seamlessly into the game. Expanding beyond vehicle radios, players could use headphones, to enjoy music anywhere. Don’t be limited to music in your vehicle, take Eddie Rabbit’s “I Love a Rainy Night” to the footpath.

#7: Cross-Play and Cross-Progression

While we don’t yet know the details of GTA 6’s Online mode, it’s expected to become one of the most significant multiplayer experiences in gaming. Yet one of the standout features of modern multiplayer games is still not seen in current GTA Online experience, and that is cross-play and cross-progression. These features make it easier for friends across different platforms to play together and allow progress to carry seamlessly between devices. For GTA 6, omitting cross-play and cross-progression would be a missed opportunity. These features not only foster a stronger, more inclusive community but also ensure players can enjoy updates and new content with friends regardless of their preferred platform. I’m sick of having multiple versions of the game just to play with my Xbox friends and then my Sony friends and then my PC friends. If this game releases on Switch, I’m done.

#6: Build Mode

Previous GTA games have allowed players to customize vehicles, clothing, and even hairstyles, but what about properties? Fallout introduced it, and although it had its flaws, I spent more hours than I can count on my hands, building my town. We’re not asking for a full-on The Sims experience, but if we’re going to spend millions on a house, we should at least have the ability to play interior decorator. Does that rug look good with that couch? Does that table runner go with these walls? Should I put a turret gun on the roof? From furniture placement to decor choices, the ability to personalize a property would add another layer of immersion.

#5: Deeper Car Customization

As the name Grand Theft Auto suggests, cars have always been a central focus of the series, maybe not to the extent the title implies, but they’re undeniably a key element. The introduction of car customization in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was just one of the many elements that made the world feel aggressively open. And with many years of development, we can only imagine that GTA 6 seems poised to follow suit. However, the depth of car customization has varied significantly between titles. While GTA V offers plenty of options in GTA Online, GTA 6 should bring that same level of customization to its single-player mode, giving players the freedom to fully personalize their vehicles without the grind of online play, much like San Andreas, BUT BETTER!

#4: Story DLC

Grand Theft Auto IV introduced story DLC that not only kept the game alive for players who found online mode unfulfilling, but it revolutionized story based DLC, cementing the desire for DLC from players with developers. But what GTA V failed to do, regardless of the phenomenal receptions from the GTA IV DLC, is introduce its own story DLC. GTA VI has a fantastic opportunity to open its post-game experience with DLC that introduce old characters, and tie the series to other entries, without needing these moments to be woven into the main game. Let’s see what Tommy Verceti is up to!

#3: Multiple Biomes

One of the standout reasons GTA: San Andreas remains so memorable is its impressive sense of scale. Despite the heavy fog concealing the relatively small size of the map, Rockstar crafted a world that felt vast and diverse, with everything from bustling cities to arid deserts. When I was a kid, I truly thought this world was as big as the real world. In comparison, subsequent games have leaned more toward creating oversized playgrounds. From the first trailer, GTA 6 has already teased a wide variety of locales, and we’re hoping they’ll capture the same magic San Andreas did by making each area feel distinct and unique. With the right approach, GTA 6 could deliver a world that feels not just big, but truly alive and varied. Snow. Desert. Swamp. City. Town. Suburbs. MAYBE even a sprawling underground sewer system? BRING IT ALL!!

#2: Enterable Buildings

This is an area where the GTA series has fluctuated quite a bit. The PS2-era games featured plenty of enterable buildings, though they were loaded separately. GTA IV expanded on this, introducing a number of seamless interiors scattered across Liberty City. However, GTA V scaled this back significantly, limiting most building access to specific missions. Rockstar is renowned for creating cities that feel like living, breathing characters, and with just how far they took GTA V in terms of its world, they’ve only got one more direction to go: inside. Exploring bustling streets is great, but even a small, tucked-away room can have as much personality as a vibrant main boulevard, adding depth and immersion to the experience... Basically I just want to break into people’s homes, is that too much to ask?

#1: More Advanced Police System

Police have always played a central role in the Grand Theft Auto series, serving as the primary antagonists through much of the gameplay. Despite their prominence, however, the police in the most recent game aren’t much of a threat, easily outmaneuvered or defeated, even at four or five wanted stars. In GTA Online, players can even call Lester to instantly remove their wanted level, bypassing the challenge entirely. The popularity of GTA RP has shown that players crave more realism in their interactions with law enforcement, from arrests and investigations to holding cells and even time in prison. GTA 6 could finally deliver on this demand. According to leaks and rumors, the police are expected to play a much larger role, with advanced mechanics such as recognizing players’ clothing and vehicles, strategically surrounding them instead of charging recklessly, and allowing players to surrender rather than opening fire immediately. The idea of genuinely spending time in prison, and possibly even prison missions and breakouts add a layer to the game that we’ve yet to even touch on.
