6 open-world mechanics GTA 6 should borrow from Ubisoft's games
When it comes to open worlds, Ubisoft has been doing
a lot
. Sure, not everything hits, but some mechanics from games like
Assassin's Creed
,
Far Cry
, and
Watch Dogs
have changed how we explore digital worlds. With
GTA 6
bringing us back to Vice City in full next-gen glory, Rockstar has a shot to level up — and borrowing a few tricks from Ubisoft wouldn't hurt. Here are 6 open-world mechanics from Ubisoft that
GTA 6
should totally steal.
1. Seamless Co-Op (Watch Dogs: Legion)
Watch Dogs: Legion
gave us the ability to hop into missions with friends
on the fly
. No loading screens. No hassle.
GTA Online
is great, but if
GTA 6
's campaign or side missions had instant co-op like Ubisoft's? Instant upgrade. Just press a button and boom — your buddy's in the mission with you.
GTA 6 New Parkour Mechanisms
2. Parkour Climbing (Assassin's Creed)
Vice City's rooftops and high-rises are begging to be explored. Ubisoft's
Assassin's Creed
climbing system would be perfect.
Let Lucia and Jason scale buildings, escape the cops parkour-style, or sneak into places like real pros. No more getting stuck on knee-high fences, please.
3. World Events & Ambushes (Far Cry)
You're vibing through the jungle in
Far Cry
, and suddenly — ambush. Wild animal. Civilian in distress.
GTA 6
should bring in these random events across Leonida. Imagine: you're cruising in Grassrivers, and someone runs up needing help escaping a gator. Or a shady roadside deal goes wrong.

GTA 6 - NPC Details Leaked!
4. NPC Schedules & Daily Lives (Assassin's Creed: Odyssey)
Ubisoft made their NPCs actually
do stuff
. They go to work, go home, and take breaks. In GTA 5, NPCs had some patterns, but
GTA 6
could take this to a whole new level. Following a corrupt politician from mansion to nightclub to back-alley deal? Yes, please. Make us feel like the city breathes with or without us.
5. Hacking Tools (Watch Dogs 2)
Ubisoft turned phones into power moves. Open a garage door, trigger a car alarm, or drain someone's bank account — all with a click. In
GTA 6
, Jason and Lucia could seriously use some digital chaos.
A Vice City full of hackable ATMs, cameras, and security systems? We're here for it.
Ubisoft doesn't always hit gold, but they've mastered some genius mechanics that would feel right at home in GTA 6's wild and vibrant Leonida. Rockstar's open worlds are already iconic — but steal a little Ubisoft sauce, and we might just get the
perfect
criminal sandbox. Now it's just a matter of waiting for 2026… painfully.

Exclusive! Boman Irani celebrates Parsi New Year: Without good Bhonu, there is no festival in a Parsi house
Parsi New Year at the Irani household is equal parts laughter, food, and heartfelt tradition. This year, actor Boman Irani marked the occasion with a rare treat — a photoshoot alongside his sons that captured their easy camaraderie and warmth. The images, brimming with affection, mirror the spirit of the festival itself. 'I'm a big believer that festivals bring families together,' he tells us, and adds, 'It was nice to horse around with my boys like we were kids again. Especially that picture of the kids on my lap — it just shows proximity, affection, love, and most importantly, that we are in a good space with each other.' Boman along with his sons Danesh and Kayoze went to the Agyari to pray. "We are pretty united as a family, we meet more often than most people. I just love it when we sit in the car together and head out — like when we came to the Agyari for the shoot," he shares. The Mehta Boys actor's childhood Parsi New Year memories are vivid. 'It was always about new clothes. I'd get so excited to wear new clothes. Sometimes those clothes were oversized or undersized because we'd buy them well in advance. Ready-made clothes were invariably ill-fitting — and stiff — if you know what I mean,' he laughs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Will Happen to Your Body If You Start Eating 3 Eggs Every Day?

Talking further what is made at their house, he adds, 'Many people don't know Dhansak is not feast food. It can be dhan dal with Kolmi no Patio. Yellow dal or fish is considered very auspicious. Achar, gajar meva nu achar, Parsi pulao or berry pulao — these are more or less standard.' While Boman confesses he's never really cooked, he praises the women in his family. 'I might not be a bad cook, but I've never tried. Zenobia is outstanding. Her mother was outstanding. My mother, not so much — she used to sit at the shop and come home late. But on the odd occasion she cooked, it was outstanding.' 10 days before the Parsi New Year is also a time to remember those who are no longer around. 'We do prayers for the ones who have passed on. In a way, it's about understanding your presence on this planet," he concludes. "Get the latest news updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."
