3 skills players should be able to upgrade in GTA 6
GTA 6 is set to blow the roof off with its Vice City comeback, a wild new cast, and a world that looks more alive than ever. But if Rockstar really wants to level up the experience, it's time to bring back (and improve) a feature we've missed since San Andreas: skill upgrades.

Here are 3 skills players should
definitely
be able to upgrade in GTA 6 to make gameplay way more fun, personal, and replayable.
1. Charm and Charisma
Think about it: Lucia's been through prison, Jason's ex-military, and both are deep in the crime world. These two know how to talk their way in (or out) of trouble.
So why not let us upgrade that?
A social or persuasion stat could unlock:
Discounts from vendors or black-market dealers
Easier getaway negotiations or hostage situations
Alternate mission endings based on dialogue choices
The ability to bluff or con NPCs mid-heist
This adds a roleplay vibe and rewards players who want to talk instead of shoot — or at least
try
to.
Can GTA 6 FINALLY Fix The Car Chase System?
2. Driving Skill
Let's be honest: some of us drive like maniacs in GTA… and not in a good way. Imagine being able to upgrade your driving skills and actually feel the difference.
Better handling at high speeds
Tighter turns during police chases
Less spin-outs on wet roads
Maybe even drift bonuses?
You start off as a reckless rookie, but after enough getaways and street races, you become the Dominic Toretto of Vice City. If Rockstar nails the driving physics (which it needs to), giving us a skill progression system makes every chase feel earned, not just scripted.

3. Tech Skill
Let's upgrade from just stealing cars to
stealing data
. With Cal Hampton already snooping on Coast Guard comms, GTA 6 is clearly dipping its toes into the tech world.
Now imagine:
Hacking cameras to scout missions
Disabling police comms during a heist
Remotely unlocking a luxury car
Wiping your wanted level with a few taps
It's giving Watch Dogs, but in a more chaotic, Rockstar way. And the more you level up, the more tools you unlock, like phone tricks to full-blown cyber warfare.
GTA 6 doesn't need 100 RPG elements to feel fresh, but a few upgradeable skills would go a long way. Driving, charisma, and tech would add
depth
without dragging down the fun. It's all about giving us more ways to play our way. Rockstar, if you're listening: Give us depth. Give us choices. Give us skills that actually matter. We're ready to grind for greatness in Leonida.

6 side activities that could make GTA 6 insanely replayable
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 6 is shaping up to be the most ambitious entry in Rockstar's legendary series — and with the vast state of Leonida to explore, there's one thing every fan wants: replayability. Main story missions? Great. But what really makes a GTA game iconic are the random things you can do when you're not saving (or destroying) the world. So here are 6 side activities Rockstar could pack into GTA 6 to keep players hooked long after the credits roll. 1. Drug Dealing Jason and Lucia are clearly tied to the underworld, and GTA has flirted with drug dealing in the past. But imagine a full-on, evolving mini-economy—like managing supply chains, avoiding feds, striking deals with shady dealers. Think Breaking Bad meets GTA . Every region could have different rules, risks, and rewards. Not just sell-and-run— build an empire. GTA 6 To Feature A Rap Group That Looks A Lot Like The City Girls 2. Rap Battles & Music Production With Real Dimez and Only Raw Records part of the world, Rockstar has to lean into this. How cool would it be to spit bars in underground rap battles or produce viral tracks in a mini music-making sim? Custom beats, lyric choices, and performing at clubs could become a whole vibe. Let players live the hip-hop hustle. 3. Extreme Sports Challenges Vice City's beaches + Mount Kalaga's wilderness = a playground for adrenaline junkies. Picture dirt bike races through wetlands, base jumps off towers, illegal jet ski courses, or even wingsuit flying. Add leaderboards or online challenges, and this becomes a TikTok-worthy flex spot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo 4. Social Media Clout Missions We're in 2026—of course clout is currency. Let players grow fake IG/TikTok-like followings through viral stunts, live-streamed crimes, or wild moments captured in-game. Maybe going viral unlocks exclusive brand deals or side gigs. It's GTA meets influencer culture—and it could be hilarious . Things We NEED In GTA VI.. 5. Vice City Property Flipping GTA 6 could bring back property management — but with style. Buy cheap motels in Port Gellhorn, renovate strip clubs in Little Haiti, or run shady Airbnbs in the Keys. Stack cash, upgrade properties, and deal with… unusual tenants. It's a chill grind with big-time returns. 6. Vice City's Underground Fight Clubs Lucia's trained to fight. So where's the underground scene? Picture illegal fight clubs under strip clubs or abandoned warehouses. Bet on yourself. Climb the ranks. Earn respect. The combat system in GTA needs a glow-up anyway—this could be a fire way to do it. Side activities are what turn GTA from a one-and-done story into a sandbox of infinite chaos . If Rockstar leans into variety, depth, and a little bit of madness, GTA 6 might be the most replayable game in history. Let's hope they bring the heat—and the weird.

Diana Penty recalls being catcalled and elbowed in Mumbai trains during her college days: ‘It would scare me'
Actor Diana Penty recently opened up about how she was catcalled while travelling to college by local train. In an interview with Hauterrfly, the actor revealed how people used to elbow her during her commute and recalled facing body-shaming for being too skinny. (Also Read: Imtiaz Ali dropped Diana Penty from Ranbir Kapoor's Rockstar after 3 weeks of workshop; actor says 'he felt I wasn't…') Diana Penty recalls facing body shaming for being too skinny. When asked whether she had ever been touched inappropriately while travelling on a bus or in a crowd, Diana said, "I think every girl in Bombay has gone through this. To go to college, St Xavier's, I used to take the train—the central line from Byculla to VT—and then walk to college. There's catcalling, and people try to elbow you. It became a part of daily life. I was a very shy, underconfident, conscious and awkward girl. I would go into a shell. It would scare me. I didn't have the confidence to elbow back." Diana also recalled that from the time she was a child up until around six or seven years ago, she was skinny and faced body-shaming. "It scarred me. You're a child, and if people keep telling you, 'Oh, you're so skinny, you don't eat?' And some aunties would go up to my mother and say this. She used to get so irritated—like why wouldn't I feed my child? As a child, you start becoming conscious of the fact that you're too skinny. It was awful." She shared that her mother once took her to a paediatric dietician, who advised her to feed Diana six bananas a day—though she only managed four—and still, nothing changed. Diana revealed that she has spent her life trying to gain weight and not be as skinny. She recalled that she didn't use to wear sleeveless clothes and would keep layering up to fit in with others. Diana Penty's recent and upcoming films Diana is currently seen in the movie Detective Sherdil, which also stars Diljit Dosanjh, Boman Irani, Chunky Panday, and Banita Sandhu in lead roles. The film is available to stream on ZEE5. She will next be seen in Section 84, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Nimrat Kaur in lead roles. The release date for the film is yet to be announced.
