What's Confirmed for GTA 6
GTA 6's trailers show detailed, reactive crowds — pedestrians responding to events, and a notable moment of an NPC catching a tossed drink — indicating more advanced NPC behaviour than GTA V.
Coverage of confirmed features notes NPCs reacting to drawn weapons (panic, calling police) as part of the reworked systems.
How It Worked in Earlier GTA Games
RDR2 set a high bar for NPC interaction — greet/antagonise options, memory of the player, and routine-driven lives. GTA 6 is expected to inherit and extend this technology.
What Leaks Suggest (Unconfirmed)
Leaks describe systems like NPCs flagging crimes to police and personality-driven behaviour. Rockstar patents (e.g. NPC navigation) hint at direction but are not confirmed implementations.
Reasonable Expectation
Richer NPC reactions than GTA V are clearly being shown; specific interaction menus, memory systems and dialogue options for GTA 6 have not been detailed.
What Was Removed
Removed invented GTA 6 interaction menus, dialogue trees, relationship effects and 'community reception' stated as fact. Kept what trailers show and the RDR2 lineage; labelled crime-flagging as leak.
