3 features Rockstar is hiding in GTA 6 until launch

Rockstar Games has never played it safe, especially not with GTA VI. While the two trailers have blown minds with Vice City beaches, neon-lit chaos, and that explosive chemistry between Lucia and Jason, there's still a lot we
don't
know.
And that's exactly how Rockstar wants it. So, what is Rockstar keeping under wraps? Based on insider leaks, job listings, subtle clues, and pure fan obsession, here are three major features Rockstar might be hiding until launch day.
1. The Real Map Size (and What's Outside Vice City)

Rockstar has officially confirmed
Leonida
, not just Vice City. The trailers tease places like Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, and Leonida Keys, but they barely scratch the surface.
So what's missing?
The actual map size is still a mystery. Leaks suggest it could be 2-3x bigger than GTA 5, possibly with rural towns, swamps, farmlands, and a working Everglades-style ecosystem.
We haven't seen any of it in action. No highway systems, no outer-city mechanics, no day trips to fictional Orlando or Tampa-style cities.
Rockstar is likely saving the full map reveal to surprise us with scale, variety, and life. If Red Dead 2's open world taught us anything, it's that the
edges
of the map often hold the best secrets.
2. Character Switching Is Back… But It's Evolved
Yes, we've seen Lucia and Jason together in both trailers, but Rockstar has been suspiciously quiet about
how
we'll control them. Is it GTA V-style switching? Or something entirely new? Rumors suggest Rockstar is developing a dynamic switching system that changes based on your choices, location, and wanted level. Imagine pulling off a heist as Lucia, switching mid-police chase to Jason across town, and then watching both timelines merge for an epic getaway.
They're probably saving this mic-drop moment for the final gameplay reveal.
There will be MORE THAN 2 PROTAGONISTS in GTA 6
3. A Third Playable Character (Still Under Wraps)
Lucia and Jason are officially confirmed. Their chemistry is already giving
Bonnie & Clyde meets modern chaos
. But here's where it gets interesting: Rockstar
loves
the three-character dynamic. They perfected it in GTA V, and fans adored the variety.
So… where's the third? Some theories floating around suggest:
A corrupt cop, working both sides.
A Florida Man-style wildcard, adding dark humor.
Or a silent fixer who ties into GTA Online.
Why hide it? Simple: Rockstar wants
one last major reveal
just before launch or even in the post-release content wave.
Rockstar doesn't show all its cards in trailers, and that's the beauty of it. With every frame, they're saying just enough to spark the hype but holding back the jaw-droppers for later. And if history's taught us anything, it's this: when Rockstar goes quiet, they're cooking something massive.
