I don’t know if you’re reading this in the morning with your coffee on or late at night playing games with your eyes red as a stoplight, but if you’ve survived the 10-year wait, counting every leak, every “fake trailer” and even a few hacker gameplay leaks, then congratulations, you’re a true GTA fan. And now, Grand Theft Auto VI, also known as GTA VI, the new generation of crime paradise has officially arrived.
Introduce about Grand Theft Auto VI
Needless to say, Rockstar has taken everything to the next level, including the story, the characters, the open world, the gameplay, the AI, and even the in-game social network. This isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a complete makeover! From the bustling Vice City to the moldy swamps outside the city, GTA VI doesn’t create a map, it builds a living ecosystem, where every NPC knows how to go to work, browse TikTok, and even call an Uber if you steal their car in the middle of the street. Yes, you read that right. This isn’t a game anymore, it’s a sarcastic parody of the real world.
Grand Theft Auto VI open world
Rockstar has not only expanded the map this time, but also put soul into every corner. During the day, NPCs go to work, take their kids to school, argue with their boss on the phone. At night, they go to bars, drink, fight, and sometimes… fall flat on their faces because you pushed them into a lake. It all happens so naturally that you forget you’re playing a game, and think you’re playing the role of an anonymous cameraman for the show “Crime Chronicle”.
You can wander around the night markets, where NPCs selling hotdogs also know how to livestream to get donations. You can also go deep into the Leondale swamps, where drunk rednecks fish and sell goods online. In addition, the traffic system, weather, and even the animal ecosystem are also invested very carefully by Rockstar. When it rains, the roads are slippery, NPCs drive more carefully and you will see drops of water on the windshield. At night, insects fly around streetlights, and feral cats rummage through trash cans for food.
Lucia and Jason
No longer a solo character like CJ or Niko Bellic, Grand Theft Auto VI puts us in a criminal love affair with Lucia (a Latina heroine with a criminal record) and Jason (a handsome and cool driver). Both are like an updated version of Bonnie & Clyde, but with smartphones, 3D-printed guns, and a social network called LifeInvader 2.0.
Lucia is the kind of woman you don’t want to mess with (or at least not when she’s wielding an AK-47). Having been in a reeducation camp, Lucia isn’t an anti-hero, an “I do it because I have to” type. She does it because she likes it. Because it’s exciting. Because her hormones are running wild. Jason, on the other hand, is quiet, but he’s like an action movie. He doesn’t like drama, he just likes money and speed.
The relationship between these two characters is not simply that of partners, they have their own feelings, quarrel, flirt, jealousy, even break up and reunite in the middle of a mission. And Rockstar allows you to control whoever, whenever, if you find Jason too serious, switch to Lucia to destroy the roof of the local bar.
Gameplay
Grand Theft Auto VI still retains the traditional sandbox spirit, but this time it’s pushed to a new level. You can not only cause chaos for fun, but also profit from the chaos. This time the gameplay system has a series of mechanisms to simulate the underground economy. You can form gangs, open fake laundromats, smuggle crypto, or livestream your destruction of the village to receive virtual donations (in-game).
The main missions are designed like mini-series, with a prologue, climax, and twist ending like an HBO series. Additionally, you can choose to approach each mission in a variety of styles, such as stealth, negotiation, violence, hacking, or drama. This opens up a ton of creative possibilities that you haven’t seen in any GTA game before.
AI inside NPC
This is probably the part that shocked me the most: NPCs in GTA VI have brains. No longer are they walking robots saying “hey, watch it!”, this time each NPC has their own schedule, job, social media accounts and… attitude. You hit an electrician’s car? He’ll call the insurance, take pictures of the scene, then post a story shaming you. You steal a single mother’s car? She’ll livestream begging and crowdfunding afterwards.
AI reacts to context. If you wear a mask and carry a gun, people will avoid you; but if you wear tracksuits and hold a smoothie, they will think you are a TikToker vlogging. Some NPCs may even remember you. If you saved an old man from a bag snatcher, he will send you a thank you email. Conversely, if you run over someone’s dog, a few days later, its owner will hire someone to assassinate you with an electric scooter. It’s the kind of crazy-yet-true logic that is Rockstar-esque.
If in Grand Theft Auto V, the social network LifeInvader was just a joke aimed at early Facebook, then in Grand Theft Auto VI, it has been transformed into a lively, ironic and scary system that looks real. The name is still LifeInvader, but with the suffix 2.0, because now, you can create an account, post stories, interact with NPCs, advertise products, and even become a KOL in the underground world.
But the best part is that everything you do leaves a digital footprint. Virtual media in the game will report on you, depending on your actions. You save a life? The press hails you as a “city hero”. You blow up a building because of a fight with your girlfriend? You become a “social hazard” and become the subject of virtual in-game podcasts. That is, every online action in the game has an offline consequence, and you don’t know what that consequence is until it erupts like a TikTok drama.
Music and media
If you fell in love with Vice City for its 80s synthwave soundtrack, then the good news is that Grand Theft Auto VI has returned to the “music is half the game” tradition. The in-game radio is still a big part, but this time it goes beyond just music streaming, it’s a whole media universe with DJs, talk shows, podcasts, fake news, and mind-boggling virtual ads.
There are more than 20 radio stations, divided into many genres: from Latin American rap trap, Miami EDM, dirt rock, to retro-pop for those who like to shoot people and reminisce about 1989. In particular, there is a station called Chisme 94.2, which specializes in cheesy reggaeton and celebrity gossip, perfect for when you are driving through Little Haiti on a police chase while an NPC calls you a “crazy livestreamer.”

We used to call GTA a sandbox, a “free-for-all” game, but with Grand Theft Auto VI, that concept has become too benign. Rockstar has turned the “open world game” into a magnified mirror of modern society, full of drama, psychology, virtual interactions, and a characteristic dark humor. It makes you laugh out loud at a crazy troll, and cringe at the realization that everything is too much to imagine.
