10 GTA 6 Features Fans Want Most in 2025 (But Rockstar Might Ignore for GTA Online Focus)

Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most anticipated games ever, with fans clamoring for innovations that build on Rockstar's legacy while pushing boundaries. However, based on community discussions and expert analyses, some highly requested features might not make the cut due to development challenges, scope creep, or shifts in focus toward online modes. Here's a curated list of 10 such features, drawn from fan wishlists and speculation, with reasons why they're desired and why Rockstar could overlook them.

1. Singleplayer Story Expansions/DLCs
   Fans want post-launch DLCs that expand the map and narrative, similar to GTA 4's episodes, to keep the singleplayer mode fresh without relying solely on GTA Online updates. This would address the decade-long wait by providing meaningful content drops. However, Rockstar might skip it, as they abandoned singleplayer expansions for GTA 5 to prioritize lucrative online features, potentially repeating the pattern for profitability.[20][0]
2. Legacy Emulator for Classic Rockstar Games
   A built-in emulator allowing players to access and play older titles like GTA San Andreas, Bully, or Manhunt within GTA 6 would celebrate the series' history and add massive replay value, evoking nostalgia like Uncharted 4's Crash Bandicoot inclusion. It's a fan dream for immersion, but Rockstar might skip it due to technical complexities, licensing issues, and the risk of diverting resources from core gameplay.[23]
3. Customizable Safehouses and Interiors
   Players crave the ability to personalize homes with furniture, appliances, and decor, extending beyond basic acquisition to create a personal space, inspired by GTA Online's options. This would enhance role-playing and ownership. Yet, Rockstar could overlook it for singleplayer if it complicates cutscenes and consistency, especially with a focus on expansive open-world tech over interior details.[20][6]
4. Car Refueling System
   A realistic mechanic where vehicles run out of fuel and require gas station stops, akin to the Mafia series, would add immersion and strategic depth to driving. Fans see it as a way to ground the world, but it's controversial and might be skipped by Rockstar, who have avoided it in past games to prevent frustrating interruptions in fast-paced action.[24]
5. No Unrealistic or Futuristic Vehicles
   Many want a grounded experience without flying bikes or over-the-top vehicles like the Oppressor from GTA Online, emphasizing realistic cars and bikes for authenticity in Vice City's setting. This would appeal to story-focused players, but Rockstar might include them anyway for GTA 6 Online's monetization potential, as futuristic elements drive microtransactions despite fan backlash.[20][12]
6. Fully Enterable Buildings with Detailed Interiors
   Expanding on GTA 5's limited access, fans demand most buildings be explorable with functional interiors for heists, relaxation, or random events, making the world feel truly open. It's a top request for immersion, but Rockstar might scale it back due to the massive development effort required for a huge map, potentially leading to performance issues or incomplete implementations.[22][21][24]
7. Gym and Workout System for RPG-Style Character Progression
   Reviving GTA San Andreas' mechanics, where gym visits or eating habits alter body types and unlock skills like advanced melee combos or gunplay, would add depth to protagonists Lucia and Jason. Fans love the personalization, but Rockstar might skip it if it doesn't align with a streamlined narrative, as modern GTAs have moved away from such detailed RPG elements to focus on action.[20][24][10]
8. Realistic Character Features Like Hair and Nail Growth
   Details from Red Dead Redemption 2, such as growing hair/nails needing trims, would make characters feel alive and tie into time progression for grounded realism. It's praised for immersion, but Rockstar could omit it in GTA 6 to avoid maintenance busywork that might frustrate players in a faster-paced urban setting compared to RDR2's wilderness.[24]
9. Day-One Crossplay Support Across Platforms
   Seamless multiplayer between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox from launch would unite friends and boost GTA Online's community, a standard in modern games. Fans push for it given the series' social focus, but Rockstar might delay or limit it (e.g., consoles only) due to cheating risks on PC and the staggered release schedule.[20][21]
10. Mysterious Underground or Hidden Areas
    A massive, secret underground network—beyond basic sewers—with weird Florida-inspired elements like hidden labs or caves, discoverable without marketing hints, would encourage exploration like in Elden Ring. Fans crave these surprises for community buzz, but Rockstar might skip such ambitious hidden content if it balloons the already enormous scope and budget.[22][23]
