With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially revealed, it is no surprise that we come back to speculating aboutGrand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). Most recently, a Reddit user claimed to have seen hours of gameplay of the upcoming title from Rockstar Games.
According to the Reddit post, causing chaos in the world ofGTA 6will feel much more realistic. This includes one ofGTAfans’ biggest pastimes of shooting NPCs, which is apparently so realistic that it will make us feel bad for doing it. But causing chaos is part of whyGTAis so fun, so what’s Rockstar planning with this?
GTA 6could possibly be too realistic if this sketch leak is to be believed
First, let’sstart off by acknowledging the source of this leak. Reddit user u/Pebblestar posted on theGTAsubreddit with a title that read “I’ve seen (in person) few hours of random GTA VI gameplay from an 2024 build / AMA.” They went on to describe several of the game’s supposed mechanics in great detail. But there is no legitimacy to any of this since they provided no source. But let’s entertain it for now and discuss the biggest red flag.
The user, Pebblestar answered a few questions on his posts with even more details:– There will be a national guard army at the max wanted level– You can ride horses, which are available at farms/rural areas– NPCs are conscious about the player, and can be robbed or…pic.twitter.com/oOZLY3e1Su
Perhaps the biggest claim they made about the game is the hyper-realistic reaction of NPCs when injured. According to the leak, shooting an NPC would result in them stumbling, clutching their wound, and gasping for air in their final moments. It sounds like exactly the kind of realism that a modern game would feature, but the aim to make players feel guilty and hesitant is not veryGTA-like.

Fans have immediately caught on to this too. On the Reddit post, and a repost on X, fans called out the skeptical nature of not just the leak itself but also that claim specifically. Causing chaos in the world is part of what makes Grand Theft Auto so appealing to people. Surely Rockstar’s aim isn’t tomake it less fun for players.
Yeah this made me cackle too I was saying to myself “do they forget who they are and what they’ve done to our generation, there’s a reason we’ve played GTA after GTA, and it’s not always just because of the story” 😭😭😭
Going on a rampage on the streets of Vice City and Los Santos while fighting everyone from NPCs to the police is something everyGTAfan has done. An X user summed it up perfectly, saying, “Do they forget who they are and what they’ve done to our generation, there’s a reason we’ve played GTA after GTA, and it’s not always just because of the story.“
There’s just so many things to speculate aboutGTA 6
Aside from the NPC thing, u/Pebblestar also talked about several other game features. These include mentions of a system where the Vice City Police Department (VCPD) establishes crime scenes in the world, NPCs clean up wreckages, and dynamic weather affects the world with storms making potholes on roads that evaporate over time.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But we’ll find out soon enough. Another recent point to note aboutGTA 6is its potential pricing. Matthew Ball, an analyst and researcher with Epyllion, recently released a detailed 221-slide presentation report titled “The State of Video Gaming in 2025.” In it, he talks about the possibility ofGTA 6costing as much as $100 per copy.
Early reports also suggest thatthe game is on track to make $3.2 billionin revenue in the first year alone. With a $100 price tag, that number seems all too achievable, but what’s scary is the possibility of other developers taking the chance to make $100 the new standard for AAA game prices. And we don’t want that no sir.
