GTA 6 trailer breakdown reveals six-star Wanted system and Criminal Profile mechanic
Rockstar's extended GTA 6 preview shows a returning six-star Wanted level, higher than GTA V's five-star cap, appearing briefly during a police chase scene. The footage also introduces a Criminal Profile system, similar in spirit to Red Dead Redemption 2's Honor mechanic, which reportedly weighs the context of a player's crimes rather than treating all violence equally. Rockstar North's Rob Nelson confirmed to IGN that repeated player behavior can influence how NPCs and the story respond over time.
