The Grand Theft Auto series has always embraced the darker side of gaming, allowing players to indulge in a variety of illicit activities. However, it appears that Grand Theft Auto 6 is poised to push the boundaries even further.
Given its name and the nature of its gameplay, Grand Theft Auto was never destined to be a family-friendly experience. Throughout the series, players have roamed the streets of San Andreas, Vice City, and Liberty City, engaging in car theft, pedestrian mayhem, and even armed confrontations with local shopkeepers, all in the pursuit of coolness and extra cash.
Yet, recent years have seen dedicated fans meticulously scrutinizing various leaks related to Grand Theft Auto 6, unveiling a potential expansion of criminal opportunities in the upcoming installment.
One comprehensive document, compiled from these leaks, hints at a range of new criminal activities, including money laundering, car fencing, hacking, and more. The money laundering rumour first sparked when an eagle-eyed fan noticed a property with a dollar sign that could suggest properties can be purchased with the intent of laundering money.
Additionally, car fences would allow players to sell stolen vehicles, a concept we’ve seen in Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2. There’s also a subtle suggestion of art fences, although the source of stolen art remains a mystery.
According to leaks, characters Lucia and Jason will have the ability to engage in hacking, using tracker jammers, immobilizer bypasses, USB drives, and auto dialers. This aligns with rumors about the inclusion of an experienced female hacker in Grand Theft Auto 6.
Lastly, GTA 6 may introduce the ability to threaten or eliminate witnesses who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, a tactic reminiscent of Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2. This blending of features from two of their most successful franchises could signify an exciting evolution in gameplay.
It’s essential to bear in mind that all of this information is derived from leaks and rumours and has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar. Nevertheless, if these speculations hold true, Grand Theft Auto 6 is poised to offer a more extensive array of criminal opportunities than ever before.
