How Gameplay Operates in Grand Theft Auto VI

The gameplay of Grand Theft Auto VI represents a major evolution for Rockstar Games. Moving away from instant-spawning police and bottomless weapon wheels from GTA 5, Leonida introduces more grounded mechanics: police respond from actual police stations with realistic travel delays, weapons are visibly slung across shoulders or stored in car trunks, and Lucia and Jason coordinate together during crimes.
