New GTA 6 Previews Unveiled After Netflix Stream, Offering Fresh Insights into the Game

After an exciting 26-minute showcase on Netflix, we finally have some official insights into Grand Theft Auto 6. The presentation revealed gameplay, the revamped wanted system, a plethora of side activities, and more. If you’re still craving additional details, you’re in luck. A fresh wave of hands-off previews has just emerged, as Rockstar invited a select group of content creators and press to experience the game firsthand at their Edinburgh office.

While no one has had the chance to grab a controller yet, these previews shed light on what the moment-to-moment gameplay in GTA 6 will be like. We’ve compiled all the previews in one spot, so you can dive into the details after rewatching the showcase for the fifth time.

In addition to a comprehensive preview that delves into the mechanics of the open world, a detailed list of 69 observations from the behind-closed-doors footage has been shared. This includes insights on how safehouses function, the ability to pet dogs, and the intricacies of the updated wanted system. An AMA on a popular video platform also addressed lingering questions from fans.

A major feature on GTA 6 has been published, where Rockstar North’s Rob Nelson revealed that he completed a full playthrough of the game earlier this year, clocking in at 80 hours. This playthrough included optional content that impacts the narrative. Nelson also confirmed that the game will not directly tackle the rise of Donald Trump, despite the series’ history of political commentary.

The team at Kinda Funny hosted a live reaction stream during the Netflix showcase and later visited Rockstar to discuss their findings. They left with an impressive 27 pages of notes and shared their insights in detail on their gaming podcast.

Interestingly, the first-ever preview of GTA 6 came from a culture magazine primarily focused on art and fashion. This is where we first discovered that GTA 6 will feature a weight system, allowing food and exercise to affect the bodies of characters Lucia and Jason. The preview also included interview snippets that hint at the tone Rockstar is aiming for this time around.

Who needs a speedrun when you can make Jason thicc?
