Rockstar Games’ confirmation of the development ofGTA VIhas generated immense excitement among fans of the highly acclaimed franchise. While the release of the next installment may still be a while away, it hasn’t stopped us from compiling a wish list of features that we hope to see included inGTA VI. After all, almost a decade has passed since the release ofGTA V, leaving ample room for its successor to improve on various aspects of the formula.
A Return to Vice City
One of the most eagerly anticipated details aboutGTA VIis its setting. Speculation suggests that the game will take us back to Vice City, Rockstar’s rendition of Miami. Having already revitalized Liberty City and San Andreas, it seems fitting for Vice City to receive the modern-day update treatment. The nostalgic appeal, combined with the potential for a fresh take on the city, makes a return to Vice City an enticing prospect.

More Accessible Interior Locations
One aspect whereGTA Vfell short was the limited number of accessible interior locations in the game.GTA VIhas the opportunity to rectify this by providing a greater variety of buildings that players can enter. The ability to explore and interact with interior spaces adds depth to any game world, making it feel more immersive and realistic.

GTA VI Needs To Have A Better Wanted System
The wanted system inGTA Voften felt unbalanced and frustrating. Hopefully,GTA VIwill introduce a more nuanced and realistic approach to their policing. For instance, committing a crime with no witnesses should result in a lower police response, while committing unlawful acts in crowded areas should trigger a swifter and more robust law enforcement presence. Taking inspiration from games likeMafia 3, where police response varies based on the location’s state, would add depth to the wanted system inGTA VI.

Deeper Side Missions in GTA VI
While previousGTAgames did offer optional activities,GTA VIwould benefit from incorporating more fleshed-out side missions. Building on the “Strangers and Freaks” encounters introduced inGTA V,the game could feature non-mandatory missions that are just as engaging and well-crafted as the main storyline missions. The game could even allow players to experience these side quests from the perspective of different characters, if the game will indeed feature multiple playable protagonists.

More Extensive Vehicle Customization
GTA Vprovided some customization options for vehicles, butGTA VIcould take it to the next level. Instead of superficial modifications, we would love to see the game adopt a system similar toForza Horizon 5, enabling players to create highly personalized vehicle skins that can be shared online. The ability to design unique decals and show them off to friends and rivals would enhance the sense of individuality and creativity permitted within the game.
