Rockstar says GTA 6 will feature narrower streets and revamped weapon system
Rockstar confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will have significantly narrower roads than its predecessor and that its weapon mechanics were reworked to limit the number of guns a player can carry.
Rockstar Games disclosed that the streets in Grand Theft Auto VI will be considerably narrower than those in Grand Theft Auto V, a design choice intended to create denser traffic and a more realistic urban environment. The information was shared by art director Aaron Garbut during a video interview about a recent visit to the studio in Scotland. > "All these things sort of come to bite you later," Garbut said, noting that the narrower roads required more buildings and tighter city layouts.
The studio also said the game’s weapon system underwent extensive revisions to resemble the limited load-out mechanics seen in Red Dead Redemption 2. Development lead Rob Nelson explained that the team wanted players to select a finite set of firearms rather than carry an unlimited arsenal, and after testing various UI concepts, they returned to a traditional weapon wheel for the final version.
