Stealing cars will now require different approaches depending on their make and model.
The next Rockstar’s real grand car theft Grand Theft Auto VI it’s going to be a little more complicated than before, according to a new IGN preview. Netflix’s in-depth review of the game highlighted the setup, relationship dynamics, and petting of the dog. GTA VI present, but IGN writes that the sequel’s changes also extend to series fundamentals like car theft, which will now change mechanically depending on the make and model of the cars players choose to steal.
“We put a few layers of lamination into the vehicles,” said Rockstar co-studio head Rob Nelson. IGN. “Previously, you could just press Triangle to automatically steal any vehicle you wanted and take off. We felt like that left a lot of gameplay potential on the table in terms of progression and decision-making for players. So now you start the game and some parked cars aren’t accessible to you until you progress a little further in the story and acquire certain tools to access them, but you can still hijack any driver you see.”
Nelson hopes these changes will make the vehicles players drive more meaningful. This should also make the process of obtaining it much more varied, depending on IGN. For example, cars equipped with electronic key fobs may require a key cloner to access them, and in some cases, vehicles with built-in GPS systems may require players to drive at a certain speed to avoid detection. The game will apparently also feature an in-game app that players can use to figure out what they’ll need to steal a car and how much it’s worth.

Unfortunately for Rockstar, splashy previews aren’t the only way new information is flowing about Rockstar’s next title. “Cyberleek” continued to share clips from the game ahead of the premiere of Netflix’s exclusive trailer for the game, a situation Rockstar called “heartbreaking.” Take-Two, the studio’s owner, is currently trying to get more information about the hacker or group of hackers behind the leaks, but so far they have not been publicly identified.
