The hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to grow and an alleged former Rockstar Games employee has reinforced the high expectations with a new rumor. The new potential features suggest that GTA 6 could raise the bar for realism in ways that go beyond just graphics.
GTA 6 NPCs are the biggest advancement
One of the biggest claims in the Reddit leak The focus is on the behavior and interaction of NPCs. Building on the systems introduced Red Dead Redemption 2the upcoming game will reportedly expand NPC interaction significantly. Players now have basic interaction options such as greeting, insulting, flirting, and more.
Another standout feature could be a custom text input system that allows players to enter their own dialogue, which the NPCs can respond to in context. These NPCs reportedly retain their memory over time. If you treat someone badly, they may react differently when you see them again. The leaker describes a system that allows players to build relationships and deepen bonds or rivalries in an organic way.
There are levels to crime in life
Crime in GTA 6 is described as more complex and situational than before. Smaller targets like convenience stores are reportedly easier to rob because police are slower to respond and payouts are smaller. However, once you reach high-value destinations such as luxury stores and jewelry stores, the situation becomes more complex. These locations are equipped with silent alarms and security cameras, allowing for faster police response. Therefore, players must plan their actions rather than just rushing in.
Simulate everyday life
Environmental realism is another focus of the leak, with areas such as airports and supermarkets being full of people and various smaller interactions occurring. GTA 6 is expected to build fully walkable interiors rather than decorative set pieces to increase the realism in these everyday spaces.
Mobile phones also appear to be a part of the gameplay, packed with functional apps that let you text NPCs, manage contacts and browse social media. According to the claim, phones play a key role in communication, crime planning and dynamic engagement with the open world.
Take it for what it is
This information remains unconfirmed claims from a suspected former employee. So I would recommend taking this with a grain of salt for now. But even if parts of that description are true, GTA 6 could show a significant shift towards deeper immersion and realism. So until it’s released worldwide, this leak is best shared as an insider’s perspective rather than a promise.
