GTA 6 gameplay: every confirmed mechanic, ranked by certainty

Six-star wanted system, dual protagonists, 30 FPS - the complete GTA 6 gameplay checklist, sorted by what's officially confirmed vs reported vs theorized.

Officially confirmed

Four mechanics sit at the top of the certainty list: the dual-protagonist switching system (Rockstar's own communications), the six-star wanted system (Extended Look), a 30 FPS console performance target (Extended Look), and the modern-day Leonida setting itself.

These are Official. Build your expectations on these.

Reported but unconfirmed

Next tier: the map-scale figure of roughly 2x GTA V, a dual-currency economy, NPC behavior systems described in leaks, and the road-rage mechanic. These come from credible reporting and leaks - trustworthy signals, not confirmations.

Community-observed

The living-city density, the modified cars, the dynamic-weather-looking skies, the watercraft presence - all visible in official footage, none confirmed as systems. We catalogue them as Community observations.

Pure speculation

GTA 6 Online's shape, the PC timing, heist structure, day-night depth, customization systems - all reasonable, all unconfirmed. The speculation pages carry the reasoning so you can judge it yourself.
