People have thrown around ideas about everything from water physics to how NPCs act and whether buildings will be enterable. But let’s be real—not all of these guesses are going to pan out. Here are five predictions about GTA 6 that are likely to flop.

1) Almost Every Building Will Be Enterable

Ever since Rockstar confirmed GTA 6 was in the works, fans have been dreaming about a game where you can walk into nearly any building. GTA 5 was pretty stingy with enterable spots—no gyms, restaurants, malls, or even airports had accessible interiors.

Some folks predicted that around 70% of GTA 6’s buildings would have fully rendered interiors you could explore. But that’s probably not happening. Creating detailed interiors for that many buildings would take a ton of time and balloon the game’s file size to ridiculous levels.

2) Live Expanding Map

Another idea floating around is that GTA 6’s map might grow and change over time, kind of like how Fortnite updates its map every season.

Rockstar’s games, whether single-player or multiplayer, have never done this. They’ve added new areas, like Cayo Perico in GTA Online, but those were separate from the main map. So, it’s unlikely they’ll go for a live, expanding map in GTA 6 or its multiplayer mode.

3) GTA 6 Will Tone Down Edgy and Sensitive Topic Content

As Rockstar dropped more hints about GTA 6, some fans started worrying the game might not be as bold or gritty as GTA 5. There’s been chatter about how the game will handle sensitive topics, cultures, and real-world references.

Rockstar has a history of leaning into parodies of real-life events, people, and cultures in their games. So, the idea that they’d suddenly go soft in GTA 6 seems off. While we don’t know much about the story yet, expect some wild, over-the-top moments to keep things in line with the series’ vibe.

4) GTA 5 Online Will Shut Down After GTA 6 Online

Rockstar’s been quiet about GTA 6’s multiplayer, but some fans think GTA 5 Online might get the boot once GTA 6 Online drops. The logic is that Rockstar might want to push players toward the new game to rake in more cash.

But GTA 5 Online has been a money-making machine for years, even after Red Dead Redemption 2 and its multiplayer launched. It’s still a huge hit, especially with the RP server crowd. So, even when GTA 6 and its online mode hit in November 2026, GTA 5 Online will probably stick around for a while.

5) GTA 6 Will Have Hyper-Realistic NPC Behavior

A newer prediction making the rounds is that GTA 6’s NPCs will act almost like real people, with complex daily routines, unique personalities, and super-smart AI that reacts to every little thing you do.

While Rockstar’s always pushed the envelope with NPC behavior, this level of realism might be a stretch. Coding thousands of NPCs with intricate, lifelike patterns would demand insane processing power and development time. GTA 6 will likely have improved NPC interactions, but don’t expect them to feel like they’re straight out of a sci-fi movie.
