Vehicle choice may carry new consequences in GTA VI. Edge's hands-on preview reports fuel, engine-condition readouts and theft-related tracking.
Fuel and engine condition
According to Edge's October 29 visit to Rockstar North, GTA VI vehicles display a fuel level and engine-health readout. The demonstration suggests that fuel lasts long enough for regular journeys and can be replenished without a lengthy detour. That is preview reporting, not a measurement of consumption or damage in a retail copy.
A getaway car isn't always anonymous
Some expensive vehicles may contain trackers, the magazine reports. A theft can also generate a report from the owner. Finding a fast car therefore may not be the same thing as finding a discreet escape route; planning, vehicle condition and the identity information available to police could intersect.
Where your weapons go
The preview also describes access to stored weapons through a vehicle's boot and a phone-based vehicle delivery service. These details suggest a greater role for choosing a vehicle before a robbery. No third-party car packs, fuel mods or GTA VI PC tools are implied by this preview, and none are offered for download here.
