Rockstar Games is still keeping the gameplay details of Grand Theft Auto 6 under wraps, but rumors about its new combat system are starting to take shape. A recent leak suggests that the studio is preparing a more realistic and strategic weapon management system, vastly different from what we’ve seen in previous installments of the series.

Until now, in titles like GTA 5, we could carry dozens of weapons without limitation, accessing them all from a simple circular menu. However, it seems that GTA 6 might opt for a system inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2, with a more tactical and natural approach within the open world.

GTA 6 would bet on a more realistic and strategic weapon system

According to a well-known insider, the protagonist of GTA 6 will only be able to carry a limited number of weapons, depending on the type of equipment or objects available in their environment. The rest would be stored in the apartment or inside the vehicle, with the latter functioning similarly to the horse in Red Dead Redemption 2.

This change would imply a leap towards deeper realism in gameplay, affecting the planning of each mission and the combat style. If confirmed, we would be facing a significant evolution compared to the traditional mechanics of the series.

For now, Rockstar Games has neither confirmed nor denied this information, but interest in GTA 6 continues to grow as its expected release date approaches in May 2026.
