Source: Rockstar Games
There is another GTA 6 leak making waves online that provides a glimpse at perhaps the most sophisticated wanted system in the series to date. Posted by influential fan accounts on social media, the information indicates that Rockstar Games is going all out for a more realistic and engaging law enforcement AI.
While as of yet unverified, the leak has generated anticipation among fans, who think that these features have the potential to revolutionize police interactions in open-world games.
Leaked wanted system equals smarter cops and strategic richness
The leak states that GTA 6's wanted level system will extend way beyond dodging stars. Police response is said to be dynamic based on player behavior, with increased realism and strategic depth.

Some of the main leaked features include:
Police will be able to interrogate witnesses and suspects at a crime scene
Returning to the scene reportedly marks the player as a 'person of interest' with one star
Running away from questioning raises wanted level further
Playing nice or being cooperative could mean no action by law enforcement beyond that
Police units can deploy K9 dogs, tear gas, riot shields, and advanced combat techniques
Officers are able to identify your vehicle and set up roadblocks to cut off escape
Areas can be cleared of civilians, with police calling for player surrender
NOOSE and FIB units attack in waves, intensifying the fight
If NOOSE is defeated and there are hostages being held by the player, the FIB can try to negotiate
Military employs suppressive fire and grenades and breaks into tactical teams to pin down the players
These mechanics work towards building tension and realism so that each police encounter will feel unpredictable and engaging.
Fans respond to changes in wanted level and realism in GTA 6
The leak has created a lot of responses within the community. One of the fans posted,
"The witness questioning and tactical escalation (dogs, roadblocks, military waves) could really make GTA 6 feel like a living crime world. Excited to see if Rockstar pulls this off, those May 2026 delay rumors might be worth it for this kind of depth."
Another posted,
"Well if true. Sounds sooo grape and about time we got a wanted system as such."
Players are making comparisons to Red Dead Redemption 2's law system and are expecting GTA 6 to expand upon that with more freedom, unpredictability, and repercussions.
If the leaked information holds true, GTA 6 could offer the most realistic police system to date in an open-world game. With intelligent AI, tactical escalation, and moral decision-making integrated into every interaction, Rockstar might be on course to create a new benchmark for realism and replayability. As fans eagerly wait for the confirmation, one thing is certain, hopes for GTA 6 have just shot even higher.

GTA 6 available for download on Xbox Store almost a year ahead of its launch date, but with a catch…
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) is reportedly available for download on Xbox Series X/S consoles, nearly a year ahead of its May 2026 release date. This unexpected availability has generated excitement among fans. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a post shared on the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) by a page named GTA 6 Alerts, some players were able to download the game to their consoles from the Microsoft Store, either via the web or directly through the console's store. However, we at TOi Tech tried looking for it on the web version of the Microsoft Store for Xbox consoles and were unable to find the same. The X post notes that given the download size of only 328.76 MB, combined with the game's distant release date, indicates this is not an early playable version. GTA VI is not yet available for pre-order, which rules out the possibility of an early beta release from Rockstar. The post also noted that attempting to launch the downloaded file displays the game's cover art briefly before closing and returning the user to the Xbox dashboard. The post even includes a short clip of how the downloaded game file reacts when users try to access it. Rockstar may have made GTA 6's Xbox page live weeks after PS5 According to a report by Rockstar Intel, According to a report by Rockstar Intel, GTA 6 maker Rockstar is allowing Xbox Series X|S users to wishlist the game and view its store page. This comes weeks after the PlayStation 5 listing went live shortly after the release of the GTA 6 Trailer 2. While Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two, had promised Xbox wishlisting would arrive 'soon,' it ultimately took around seven weeks to become available. 7 Things You May Have Missed in the GTA 6 Second Trailer Earlier this week, Rockstar Games finally made the GTA 6 Xbox Store page live, accessible via both Xbox consoles and the official website, the report claims. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The listing includes the game's illustrative artwork from the second trailer, several screenshots, both released trailers, and a detailed game description. Xbox is also reportedly allowing users to download this placeholder file; however, pre-orders aren't live yet; the file will auto-update once pre-loading begins. The game can't be played yet and shows an ownership error when launched. The page also doesn't confirm when the game will go live. Meanwhile, on the PlayStation store, the GTA 6 page states that the game will be playable at 12 am BST (which is 4.30 pm IST).

This lightweight download consists solely of preliminary setup data, with no functional access to gameplay, beta content, or demo the downloaded file merely flashes the GTA 6 artwork on screen before it auto-closes. According to Xbox support forums and developer sources, the file is designed to pre-install base elements so that the final game can be seamlessly added once it becomes available next kind of move is not unusual in the gaming world.

'This is essentially a digital flagpole—a signal that the system is preparing for an eventual roll-out, nothing more.'Given Rockstar Games' traditionally secretive approach to new releases, industry observers remain sceptical about the possibility of a beta version or playable demo anytime soon.

For now, fans will have to temper their expectations, even as the digital countdown to 2026 unofficially GTA 6 has not launched yet.

GTA 6: Four ‘gossips' that might actually be true
A lot has come out about GTA 6, following the second trailer. Rockstar has published a slew of game lore on its website, including details about its characters, some of the storyline, the locations in the game, and more. GTA 6 is going to launch on May 26, 2026.(Rockstar) However, there is a lot that is yet to be unveiled, and it is only going to be revealed when the game is released on 26 May 2026. Having said that, fans and online communities have been talking about several possibilities that could come true in Rockstar's GTA 6. Let us tell you about the top rumours and theories about the world and storyline of GTA 6, which could end up coming true, based on various things that people have spotted. 1. Liberty City could be a visitable location In the second trailer for the game, you see a chase sequence wherein a car has a Liberty City number plate. It is, of course, part of a cutscene, so whether the car is visiting from Liberty City or if you are actually in Liberty City is still up in the air. Another key reason why Liberty City could play a central role in GTA 6 is that Lucia, one of the two protagonists alongside Jason, is from Liberty City, according to Rockstar. Perhaps Liberty City will be a small part of the game, similar to how North Yankton was part of GTA 5. MOBILE FINDER: iPhone 16 LATEST Price 2. The return of dynamic body types Remember GTA San Andreas and how you could get fat or buff depending on how many times you visited the gym? Similarly, because Jason in GTA 6 has a chiseled physique and defined muscles, and we have even seen him working out in the second trailer, it could be that gyms will make a comeback in GTA 6. This could make for a very dynamic experience. Imagine if Rockstar allows you to get better performance from your character if they are muscular compared to when they are overweight. It could certainly make things quite interesting. 3. Pets in GTA 6 Another key detail we found in the second GTA 6 trailer is a cutscene that features a pet iguana inside a glass enclosure in a house. So, maybe you will be able to get pets in GTA 6. However, what is certain is that there are going to be many types of animals in the game. We have seen people walking their dogs in the trailer, and Rockstar has also detailed that there will be a wide variety of animals, including alligators in Leonida, flamingos, and a whole lot more. 4. Refuelling your car In GTA 5, you can enter a car and it can keep going, provided you do not damage it. This means, like most open-world games, you have unlimited fuel. This might not be the case in GTA 6, as online communities have spotted NPCs filling their cars at petrol stations in the game trailer. This could definitely be a hint that you may also need to fill up your car to keep it going. We have seen a similar mechanic in the PlayStation-exclusive game Days Gone, wherein you have to consistently fill up your bike to travel. This could be an interesting addition, considering you might have to plan ahead if you want to go somewhere and keep filling up, just like in real life.
