Grand Theft Auto VI is one of the most anticipated games of the decade, and we know so little about it. Since the game hasn’t been announced yet, the topic of discussion is based on rumors and speculation. Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to reminisce about past Grand Theft Auto features that we want to see integrated into Grand Theft Auto VI.
Grand Theft Auto V was the last decade’s bestseller, with over 110 million copies sold. The stakes are high for Grand Theft Auto VI, and there is a large margin for error. Few could’ve predicted that this series about stealing cars would be so successful. These are 5 predictions for Grand Theft Auto VI (& 5 rumors).
10 The Game Will Return To Vice City (Rumor)
A widespread rumor suggests that the Grand Theft Auto series will return to Vice City. The rumor states that the game will be set between 1970 and 1980 in Rio de Janeiro. Playing GTA Online in a tropical setting would be a good fit.
The mild climate of Grand Theft Auto V is a conservative choice on the part of Rockstar Games. It would be a fresh experience for newcomers, and a throwback for those who played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
9 You Can Play As A Cop (Prediction)
Videos are circulating on the internet of players role-playing as cops. Players are taking an interest in the cop aspect of Grand Theft Auto, and we don’t blame them. At face value, Grand Theft Auto is a giant game of cops and robbers, with the player usually playing as the robber.
It would be a groundbreaking change to the series if Rockstar Games added playable cops. Moreover, the story mode could be told from the perspective of a cop. There is untapped potential in the police department that Rockstar Games should explore.
8 Inspired By The Netflix Series Narcos (Rumor)
As stated by a prevalent rumor, the Netflix series Narcos will serve as inspiration for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI. Since we love the show Narcos, we are thrown for a loop by this news.
Narcos was a three-season show that ended in 2017, but its possibly the best storytelling of Pablo Escobar’s escapades. According to thesun.co.uk, “The way the story is told, its look and its characters are all heavily inspired by Narcos, the Netflix drama about Pablo Escobar.”
7 More Interactive Buildings (Prediction)
The insufficient number of interactive buildings in Grand Theft Auto V wasn’t necessarily a fatal flaw, but it did hold the game back from reaching its potential. Taking an informed guess, we can predict that Grand Theft Auto VI will have more interactive buildings than before.
It would be unprecedented if every building in the game could be entered. More interactive structures mean more realistic gameplay. Homes and convenience stores were a step in the right direction, but there’s more work to be done. Let’s hope this one comes true.
6 It’s Going To Be Next-Gen Only (Rumor)
With the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 swiftly approaching in Holiday 2020, it’s becoming abundantly clear that Grand Theft Auto VI won’t launch on current-gen. Grand Theft Auto VI hasn’t been announced yet, which is why we believe the rumor that it will be a next-gen exclusive.
For those who can shell out the cash, playing Grand Theft Auto VI on next-gen, which will have virtually no loading times, is going to be spectacular. It’s looking more and more like Grand Theft Auto VI will be a next-gen exclusive.
5 VR Compatability (Prediction)
There is an obscure mod that allows players to play Grand Theft Auto V in virtual reality (VR). Using an Oculus VR headset, players can experience the game like never before. We predict that VR compatibility is going to be a feature of Grand Theft Auto VI.
It won’t create an unfair advantage for other players in VR online, so there are few reasons against bringing VR to fruition. Already, blockbuster games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Doom, and Borderlands 2 have VR compatibility, so why can’t Grand Theft Auto VI?
4 Set In A Modern Day Liberty City (Rumor)
Liberty City is a major city in the Grand Theft Auto series. Where crime runs rampant, it is a cultural hub that contains numerous landmarks.
Liberty City serves as the setting for several of the series’ games, including Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto III. A rumor suggests that Grand Theft Auto VI will make a return to a modernized Liberty City, which is loosely based on New York City.
3 A More Immersive And Expansive World (Prediction)
An even more bizarre but plausible rumor states that Grand Theft Auto VI will contain Vice City, Liberty City, and San Andreas. We predict that this one actually comes true since the game will likely be much larger than Grand Theft Auto V.
According to esquire.com,Grand Theft Auto VI made an astounding $6 billion in gross revenue, more than any movie ever made. Rockstar Games certainly has the funds to develop such a behemoth of a game, and we predict this one comes true.
2 Your Vehicle Is Like A Horse In Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rumor)
Red Dead Redemption 2, another game from developer Rockstar Games, was a success with critics and fans alike. The scale of its world encouraged exploration, and it was packed full of quaint surprises.
One aspect of Red Dead Redemption 2 that might come to Grand Theft Auto VI is the storage system related to horses. A rumor indicates that players can store items in car trunks and other areas of their vehicles. It’s a small but neat feature that could come to this highly-anticipated sequel.
1 A Functional Stock Market (Prediction)
Rockstar Games delivered on many of their Grand Theft Auto promises, but one that never came to fruition was the stock market in GTA Online. Players were looking forward to investing their money to grow a sizable portfolio. It’s not a secret that earning money in GTA Online is an arduous experience.
Perhaps a functional stock market will return to Grand Theft Auto VI. Thankfully, Rockstar brought the casino, gangs, and more homes like they promised. Grand Theft Auto V now has an abundance of content to keep players engaged.
