The Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look trailer has taken over the gaming conversation. Fans are still breaking down the footage, while the game’s huge hype is already having an impact beyond Rockstar.
PS5 Pro Shortages
The gameplay reveal has reportedly sent demand for the PS5 Pro higher. Some stores have already sold out, leaving very few consoles available.
Reports claim that some buyers are now paying as much as $1,300 to get one from stores that still have stock.
Easter Eggs and New Mechanics
Fans have been studying almost every frame of the trailer. One detail that has caught attention is a reported Dexter Easter egg.
Rockstar has also confirmed the return of San Andreas-style RPG stats. Eating too much can now affect your character’s weight, adding another physical change to the game.
Romance and Wanted Levels
The relationship between Jason and Lucia will also play a bigger role. Developers have confirmed that the game features a dynamic romance system between the two characters.
However, players cannot officially break the pair up, even if they treat each other badly.
The wanted system is also getting an upgrade. GTA 6 will feature a six-star wanted level, with police able to track details such as your face, clothes, and vehicle.
GTA 6 Could Affect Other Releases
The game’s enormous hype may also be affecting other major projects. Star Citizen: Squadron 42 has reportedly been delayed again.
According to reports, insiders have pointed to GTA 6’s upcoming launch as one of the reasons behind the delay.
With GTA 6 dominating the conversation after its latest trailer, its influence is already reaching beyond Rockstar. The game has become one of the biggest talking points in the industry well before its release.
