While fans are still awaiting new trailers for "Grand Theft Auto VI," rumors are circulating about significant changes to the game's Wanted System. One of the defining features of the "Grand Theft Auto" series has been the consequences for committing crimes, with players earning a Wanted Level based on the severity of their actions. However, the system in "GTA V" has received mixed reviews, with many fans expressing dissatisfaction, particularly when compared to Rockstar's more refined approach in "Red Dead Redemption 2."
'GTA VI' Wanted System Overhaul Expected from Rockstar
A new rumor surfaced on Reddit, suggesting that Rockstar Games is revamping the Wanted System for "GTA VI." The speculation comes from a Reddit user who recently re-analyzed the first trailer for the game. In the analysis, the user noted a moment where characters Jason and Lucia, after committing a robbery at a diner, are not initially flagged by the police. At that point, the police lack descriptions of the duo and their getaway vehicle, allowing them to pass by unnoticed. However, a small pop-up message in the trailer indicates that the cops later acquire a description of the vehicle and prepare to pursue the criminals.

What Changes to Expect in 'GTA VI's' Wanted System
According to ComicBook Gaming, "GTA V's" Wanted System has been criticized for its simplicity, where committing a crime directly links the player to a Wanted Level. In contrast, the new system in "GTA VI" is expected to offer a more realistic and immersive experience. This would add depth to the consequences of committing crimes in the game, with police actions becoming more dynamic and responsive as the player progresses.
Rockstar Games and 'Grand Theft Auto VI'
It has been over 13 months since Rockstar Games first confirmed the development of "Grand Theft Auto VI," a title that fans have been eagerly awaiting for more than a decade. Since the release of Trailer 1, fans have been left with more questions than answers, with many speculating that the smallest details point to an upcoming release. Rockstar has committed to releasing the game in 2025, but no specific dates or timeframes have been provided, leading some to wonder if delays are imminent.
In addition to rumors about delays, there has been speculation about the pricing of "GTA VI," with some leakers suggesting that the game could be sold for $100, setting a new premium for video games. As the wait continues, fans are left to rely on leaks and rumors for updates, with the latest pointing to an overhaul of the wanted system as a major improvement in the game's realism.
