6 open-world mechanics GTA 6 should borrow from Ubisoft's games
(Image via Rockstar Games)
When it comes to open worlds, Ubisoft has been doing
a lot
. Sure, not everything hits, but some mechanics from games like
Assassin's Creed
,
Far Cry
, and
Watch Dogs
have changed how we explore digital worlds. With
GTA 6
bringing us back to Vice City in full next-gen glory, Rockstar has a shot to level up — and borrowing a few tricks from Ubisoft wouldn't hurt. Here are 6 open-world mechanics from Ubisoft that
GTA 6
should totally steal.
1. Seamless Co-Op (Watch Dogs: Legion)
Watch Dogs: Legion
gave us the ability to hop into missions with friends
on the fly
. No loading screens. No hassle.
GTA Online
is great, but if
GTA 6
's campaign or side missions had instant co-op like Ubisoft's? Instant upgrade. Just press a button and boom — your buddy's in the mission with you.
GTA 6 New Parkour Mechanisms
2. Parkour Climbing (Assassin's Creed)
Vice City's rooftops and high-rises are begging to be explored. Ubisoft's
Assassin's Creed
climbing system would be perfect.
Let Lucia and Jason scale buildings, escape the cops parkour-style, or sneak into places like real pros. No more getting stuck on knee-high fences, please.
3. World Events & Ambushes (Far Cry)
You're vibing through the jungle in
Far Cry
, and suddenly — ambush. Wild animal. Civilian in distress.
GTA 6
should bring in these random events across Leonida. Imagine: you're cruising in Grassrivers, and someone runs up needing help escaping a gator. Or a shady roadside deal goes wrong.

That chaos? Pure Rockstar energy.
GTA 6 - NPC Details Leaked!
4. NPC Schedules & Daily Lives (Assassin's Creed: Odyssey)
Ubisoft made their NPCs actually
do stuff
. They go to work, go home, and take breaks. In GTA 5, NPCs had some patterns, but
GTA 6
could take this to a whole new level. Following a corrupt politician from mansion to nightclub to back-alley deal? Yes, please. Make us feel like the city breathes with or without us.
5. Hacking Tools (Watch Dogs 2)
Ubisoft turned phones into power moves. Open a garage door, trigger a car alarm, or drain someone's bank account — all with a click. In
GTA 6
, Jason and Lucia could seriously use some digital chaos.
A Vice City full of hackable ATMs, cameras, and security systems? We're here for it.
Ubisoft doesn't always hit gold, but they've mastered some genius mechanics that would feel right at home in GTA 6's wild and vibrant Leonida. Rockstar's open worlds are already iconic — but steal a little Ubisoft sauce, and we might just get the
perfect
criminal sandbox. Now it's just a matter of waiting for 2026… painfully.

Aamir Khan , who recently made a comeback to the big screen with 'Sitaare Zameen Par', has opened up about his personal beliefs. Known for his thoughtful take on life and films, the 'PK' actor usually stays away from talking about religion in public. But this time, he shared how he sees people beyond their religion and why he respects every faith. 'When I meet people, I don't see their religion. I just see the person," Aamir said in an interview with The Lallantop. He added, 'Religion is such a dangerous topic that I don't often speak about it in public. It is also a very personal thing to each and every individual. I respect people from all religions and the way they follow their religious paths." Deep respect for all beliefs Aamir's words showed just how careful he is when it comes to matters of faith. By saying that religion is a 'very personal thing', he highlighted how important it is for everyone to find their own spiritual path without any interference.

He is a very complete person. This is what I feel about him," Aamir shared. H e also revealed that it would be a dream come true for him to play Krishna on screen.
