6 things Rockstar did right in GTA 5 that must return
When GTA V dropped in 2013, it didn't just raise the bar, it became the bar. From dynamic gameplay to unforgettable characters, Rockstar delivered a near-perfect open-world experience. Now, as we count down to GTA VI , one thing's clear: some things from GTA V absolutely need to return. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Here's a quick hit-list of what Rockstar nailed, and why we need more of it. 1. Character Switching Michael, Franklin, and Trevor - three wildly different personalities, three storylines, and one seamless mechanic to switch between them. This wasn't just a gimmick. It made the story richer, gave missions variety, and let players explore the world from different angles. Rockstar, please don't leave this behind. How GTA 6 Graphics are SO REALISTIC! 2. A Living, Breathing Open World Los Santos felt alive . Pedestrians had conversations, animals roamed the wild, and random events could trigger anywhere. It wasn't more than just background, it was part of the game. Whether you were chasing a purse thief or stumbling into a cult, the world responded to you. This kind of immersive sandbox is what makes Rockstar games iconic, and it's non-negotiable for GTA VI. 3. Heists That Made You Think Heists weren't just about shooting your way through. You had to plan, choose your crew, pick your approach, and deal with the consequences. These multi-layered missions gave players creative freedom and replayability. Honestly, GTA V's heists felt like mini-games inside the main game. That's gold. Rockstar, bring them back, and make them bigger. 4. Killer Radio Stations & Soundtrack Music in GTA has always been a vibe, but GTA V perfected it. From flying down the highway with Kendrick blasting to tuning in for hilarious talk shows, the soundtrack shaped the entire feel of the game. Rockstar knows how to mix iconic hits with hidden gems, and we need another banger playlist in GTA VI. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Period. All 13 Side Activities In GTA 6! Who's Excited? #fyp #gta6 #grandtheftauto #videogame #news 5. Next-Level Side Activities Tennis. Yoga. Golf. Stock market trading. Bounty hunting. GTA V blurred the lines between side quests and full-blown games. These weren't throwaway extras, they were legit fun. It made the game feel endless, like there was always something to do. GTA VI shouldn't just bring this back, it should level it up. 6. Online Mode That Grew With Players Say what you want about GTA Online, but it's a juggernaut. Heists, roleplaying servers, weekly events, business empires. Rockstar built an entire second life into the game. If GTA VI's online mode learns from this and launches stronger from day one, it could be even more massive. GTA V wasn't just successful because it was big. It was smartly big, packed with details, features, and freedom that made players lose hours without even realizing it. If Rockstar carries forward these six wins into GTA VI, we're not just looking at a good sequel. We're looking at a generational leap.

4 ways Rockstar Games could improve heists in GTA 6
Image via Rockstar Heists have always been the heart-pounding highlight of the Grand Theft Auto series. From assembling your crew in GTA V to pulling off multi-part missions, Rockstar nailed the blueprint. But with GTA 6 promising to push the envelope in every direction, there's massive potential to make heists even more thrilling, unpredictable, and replayable. Here are 4 fresh ways GTA 6 could elevate heists to a whole new level. 1. Dynamic Police Responses (No More Scripted Escapes) In GTA V, the getaway often felt like déjà vu — follow a set route, lose the cops, mission complete. But what if GTA 6 throws you into a world where every police chase feels different ? Here's what we want: AI that adapts to your tactics mid-mission. Cops cutting off alternate escape routes in real-time. SWAT drones scanning rooftops if you're on foot. This would force players to think on their feet and ditch the rinse-repeat formula. Escaping the heat would become part of the thrill, not just a box to tick. GTA 5 Heists But Using The WORST Crew 2. Deeper Crew Mechanics (Make Every Member Count) GTA V gave us a taste of crew selection. But in GTA 6? Let's go deeper. Imagine each crew member not only having skills but also personalities, grudges, and loyalty meters. A getaway driver might bail mid-chase if he feels underpaid. A hacker might demand more cut if they've pulled off multiple successful jobs with you. This would: Add weight to who you recruit. Open up unexpected twists (betrayals, last-minute saves). Make heists feel alive , not rehearsed. 3. Branching Heist Outcomes (Success Isn't Binary) Right now, you either succeed or fail. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo But real crime is messier. GTA 6 could introduce gray outcomes. For instance: You complete the heist, but a crew member gets caught. You escape, but with half the money because the vault didn't fully open. A civilian IDs you, triggering a police manhunt days later. This would make every decision during the heist actually matter. Your choices ripple into future missions, not just the current one. Best Co-Op Missions & Heists In GTA Online 4. Real-Time Co-op Heists (With or Without Friends) Sure, GTA Online has multiplayer heists. But imagine drop-in co-op during story mode or seamless matchmaking with AI or real players. No menus. No load times. Just: A heist pops up. Players nearby get the ping. You accept, join in real-time, and roll. This would bridge the solo and online worlds brilliantly — and give even single players the feel of running with a crew that reacts like real people. Heists are more than missions — they're moments. The thrill of planning, the tension of execution, and the chaos of escape are what make GTA unforgettable. With smarter AI, real consequences, and deeper human elements, GTA 6 has the chance to make every heist feel like a blockbuster crime movie — one where you write the ending.

5 mods Rockstar should turn into GTA 6 features
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 6 is already making waves, but if Rockstar really wants to blow minds, it's time to take some notes from the modding community. GTA modders have pushed the boundaries of what's possible in Los Santos and beyond. These aren't just fun add-ons; they make the game a lot more fun and realistic. Here are 5 legendary mods Rockstar should absolutely steal (and upgrade) for GTA 6. Playing GTA 5 As A POLICE OFFICER Highway Patrol|| GSP SRT|| GTA 5 Mod| 4K 1. LSPDFR The LSPDFR (Los Santos Police Department First Response) mod flips the script by letting players become cops. You can patrol the streets, respond to calls, and engage in realistic law enforcement scenarios. In GTA 6, a similar mechanic could add rich replay value. Whether it's a full campaign from a cop's perspective or a side mode, giving players the option to work both sides of the law would add variety and roleplay depth. Pull Me Over 2. Pull Me Over Speeding? You get fined. Run a red light? The cops are on you. Pull Me Over turns GTA into a law-abiding driving sim (until you decide to break those laws). This mod is perfect for immersion junkies. Imagine choosing to roleplay as a civilian driver in GTA 6, with traffic stops, licenses, and fines — all adding to the living, breathing world Rockstar is building.

Open All Interiors Ever driven past a building and wished you could go in? This mod unlocks hundreds of previously sealed interiors — from burger joints to corporate offices. Rockstar should add it in GTA 6 for better exploration, more missions, and a deeper world. If GTA 6 wants to feel truly alive, it needs to stop treating buildings like cardboard cutouts.

The mod improves how bodies react to bullets, falls, crashes, and punches. Everything feels heavier, more brutal, more real. GTA 6 needs it because combat should feel impactful.

Single Player Apartment – Custom Living Spaces This fan-made mod bring GTA Online apartments to the story mode for players to buy, furnish, and manage multiple properties across the city. It taps into a core fantasy of GTA: living large, your way.

6 ways Rockstar can make GTA 6 Online less toxic than GTA Online
Image via Rockstar Games GTA Online is fun, but also frustratingly toxic. Griefers, hackers, and loudmouths can ruin what should be an immersive, open-world crime sandbox. With GTA 6 on the horizon, Rockstar has a golden opportunity to clean things up without stripping away the game's wild energy. Here's how they can strike that balance and make GTA 6 Online way less toxic, without killing the vibe. 1. Stronger Passive Mode Controls In GTA Online, Passive Mode has been a lifeline for players who just want to enjoy the game without being hunted. However, it's often buggy or easily bypassed. In GTA 6, Rockstar should upgrade this system to allow players full immunity when desired, especially in non-PvP lobbies. Clear toggles for engagement types—PvE, PvP, or social—would allow players to choose their experience instead of being forced into someone else's chaos. GTA Online Toxicity Is REALLY Getting Worse 2. Incentivize Cooperative Play Most toxic behavior comes from boredom or frustration. Rockstar can counter this by encouraging positive interactions. GTA 6 Online could offer meaningful rewards for teaming up, completing missions cooperatively, or helping new players. A rep system or karma-based rewards could motivate better behavior naturally, without forcing it. 3. Better Reporting and Moderation Tools Currently, reporting abusive players in GTA Online often feels like shouting into the void. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Book Your Daily Profit By 11 AM With This Superclass By Mr. Bala TradeWise Learn More Undo GTA 6 needs a visible, responsive moderation system. Quick reporting from the pause menu, automated chat filters, and visible consequences—like temporary bans or matchmaking restrictions—would signal to players that toxic behavior isn't tolerated. 4. Matchmaking Based on Behavior Rockstar could take a page from other multiplayer giants and implement behavior-based matchmaking. If a player is repeatedly reported, they get matched with others who behave similarly. On the flip side, respectful players would be rewarded with cleaner, more respectful lobbies. It's a system that quietly separates the chaos-makers from everyone else without punishing anyone unjustly. Trolling griefers with the anti griefer tool (GTA Online) 5. Reduce Griefing Tools In GTA Online, griefers have a full arsenal at their disposal—overpowered vehicles, explosive drones, orbital strikes. For GTA 6, Rockstar needs to rework or limit these tools in open-world lobbies. Options like disabling explosives in safe zones or limiting high-damage vehicles to mission-only use could drastically reduce random attacks and rage-quitting. 6. Community-Led Servers or Private Lobby Controls One of the best ways to reduce toxicity is to give control back to the players. Let fans create moderated servers with custom rulesets or better private lobbies with admin tools. Whether you're building a roleplay world or just vibing with friends, players should have the ability to boot trolls, enforce rules, or set tone. GTA's online world will always have some level of madness—that's part of the charm. But if Rockstar can add just a bit more structure and smarter systems, GTA 6 Online could be thrilling and fair. Less rage-quits, more bank heists. Let's hope Rockstar's listening.

7 annoying features in GTA 5 that shouldn't return in GTA 6
(Image via Rockstar Games) Grand Theft Auto V was a masterpiece. But even the best games come with a few frustrating quirks that leave you muttering, 'Why is this still a thing?' With GTA 6 now on the horizon, it's the perfect time to reflect on those annoying features in GTA 5 that need to be left behind. Forever. Here's our hit list of 7 things GTA 6 needs to ditch. 1. Clunky Combat Cover System Taking cover in GTA 5 often felt like wrestling with your own thumbs. One moment you're crouched behind a car, the next you're accidentally popping out and taking a headshot. The auto-cover mechanics lacked fluidity, making shootouts more frustrating than fun. GTA 6, give us a smoother, smarter cover system — we're tired of dying because the wall didn't 'register.' GTA 5's Police Are BROKEN - Let Me Ruin Them For You (Facts and Glitches) 2. Broken Police AI Three stars, and suddenly the cops have psychic abilities. They know exactly where you are, even if you slip into an alleyway or change cars. And don't get us started on their magical aim while you're driving 100 mph. GTA 6 needs smarter, not omniscient, law enforcement. 3. Overly Long Phone Calls & Cutscenes Yes, Trevor's rants were gold. But not every call needs to be two minutes long while you're mid-heist prep. And some cutscenes dragged on like mini-movies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning For Working Professionals. BITS Pilani WILP Apply Now Undo In GTA 6, give us the option to skip or fast-forward — we'll thank you later. 4. Tiresome Random Events Getting dragged into yet another pedestrian's sob story or 'hitchhiker from hell' side event felt cool the first few times, then it got old. In GTA 6, keep random events actually random and meaningful, not repetitive filler. 5. Lack of Checkpoints in Missions There's nothing worse than failing a mission right at the end and getting thrown back to the very beginning. Some of GTA 5's missions desperately needed mid-mission checkpoints. GTA 6 should be smarter with save points — we're not in 2013 anymore. Why Were There So Few Enterable Interiors In GTA Online? 6. Limited Interiors Despite its huge map, most buildings in GTA 5 were off-limits. Only a handful of stores, homes, or businesses could be entered. In a living, breathing city, locked doors kill immersion. GTA 6 should open up the world more with explorable interiors that offer gameplay, secrets, or story elements. 7. Dated NPC Reactions Pedestrian and driver AI in GTA 5 often react in jarring or unrealistic ways—either ignoring chaos or overreacting completely. For a game this detailed, NPCs should feel smarter and more responsive. GTA 6 has the chance to make its world feel truly alive with better AI. GTA 5 set the bar high, but GTA 6 has the opportunity to fix what didn't work. Drop these seven annoyances, and Rockstar could deliver their most legendary game yet. Let's just hope we're not still dodging psychic cops in 4K. Get IPL 2025 match schedules , squads , points table , and live scores for CSK , MI , RCB , KKR , SRH , LSG , DC , GT , PBKS , and RR .
