GTA 6 has to be the talk of the gaming town right now. After getting an initial release window of fall of 2025, the game is now delayed to May 2026. However, it seems like there aren’t going to be any delays as such. Actually this delay was needed, to make sure that the upcoming game will carry forward the legacy.
As GTA 6 hasn’t been released yet, it’s safe to say that GTA 5 is arguably the biggest gaming release ever. The 2013 title took realism to a whole new level, along with highly optimized graphics, a superb storyline, and a great gameplay. Still the game had its fair share of issues, which its worthy successor needed to fix.
GTA 5 issues which GTA 6 should fix
After GTA 5 released, it seemed like fans have seen everything, everything an epic open world game offers. Yes, there were shouts for its sequel, but it was pretty hard to comprehend what the sequel had to do to feature in order to overcome the legacy of its predecessor.
However, after watching both the trailers of GTA 6, it can be said now that the upcoming title is surely going to reach a whole new limit, far beyond GTA 5’s. But in order to that, the upcoming game must get rid of these 7 issues which GTA 5 has:
1. Limited character customization
GTA 6 is promised to be the most realistic game ever. In order to achieve that crown, Rockstar needs to sort out the character customization options. In GTA 5, players only get a handful of options, in terms of hairs, beards, accessories, costumes, garments, and everything else.
It’s kind of boring to have that old same staff again and again. Instead, Rockstar should add a trend feature, which would regularly update the available clothes in the market as per the current shopping trends.
2. Unbalanced economy
Every player in GTA 5 starts their life as a low-level criminal who aspires to be the ultimate lord of Los Santos. However, for that players will need loads of in-game money. But with the unbalanced economy system, it’s pretty tough. Yes, in GTA Online, there are tons of options to earn money. But in GTA 5, only heists and stocks are your only sources of money.
In previous titles like San Andreas or Vice City, players used to get monetary rewards for completing missions, but that’s not the case with GTA 5. Also, the stock market mechanism is quite flawed, with random returns on investments. So, these are some issues which have to be fixed in GTA 6.
3. Stealth gameplay
GTA titles are all about all-guns blazing gameplay. But in GTA 5, stealth was an option to progress in the game, like slow crouching. However, the stealth mechanism in that game was quite faulty as it needs a proper overhaul in GTA 6.
It will be pretty great if Rockstar adds totally stealth based missions, just like Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, with actual stealth mechanics to support them. Also, if Rockstar gives the option for players to evade the cops by sneaking, then it would have been cool as well.
4. Car physics
There is no doubt that car physics in GTA 5 was probably one of the most realistic aspects of the game, but for 2013. In 2025, cars in GTA 5 don't look realistic like they used to be. For example, the cars in this game feel a lot lighter than the real life cars.
In any instance if a car is bumped to another car, it instantly flies away, which baselessly ignores the actual car weight. That is why to make the game more realistic, Rockstar should make proper changes in the car physics mechanisms.
5. Limited building access
GTA 5 features a wide range of buildings, from shops to restaurants, it has got all covered. But the major problem with them is that you can access the inside of every building.
If Rockstar Games adds the options to enter into buildings like shopping malls, hotels, restaurants and if players get the option to actually buy staff or order food from these, then it will add a different level of realism in GTA 6.
6. Refined combat mechanics
Despite every other essence of the game that feels realistic and interactive, the combat mechanics in GTA 5 were quite lackluster and unresponsive. The cover mechanism while fighting in the game was quite weird.
Rockstar should add a proper cover mechanism like other shooter titles, to make GTA in-game fights a lot more immersive. Also, GTA 6 needs to refine the melee combat mechanism, with several combos and staff.
7. Negligence towards DLC
Despite a proper support in terms of DLC towards GTA Online, GTA 5 never got any type of DLCs, despite being released over a decade ago. It’s true that GTA 5 features one of the greatest in-game storylines, but once the game’s single player campaign is completed, there was nothing to do much except for some paltry side-quests or wandering in the open world.
Rockstar needs to make sure that an adequate amount of expansions is already planned for the upcoming game, to make the game relevant for a longer period. If it wasn’t for GTA Online, many people would have forgotten GTA 5. And Rockstar won’t absolutely want it.
