GTA 6 is right around the corner, and the gaming community is nearly out of patience for arguably the most anticipated sequel in gaming history. The Grand Theft Auto franchise pioneered the concept of exploring a massive open-world sandbox filled with life and diverse activities.

It has been a decade and then some since the last major entry, and the game developers should have something to show for it. After years of radio silence, the gaming community slowly lost hope for the sequel until the first teaser dropped, and it was glorious, and these features could improve the experience.

5. Horse Back Racing Could Shake up the GTA 6 Experience

The Grand Theft Auto franchise has been renowned as a safe space for the gaming community to let their intrusive thoughts take control, inflict chaos, and commit any crime under the sun. Players have grown accustomed to using various land-based vehicles as a mode of transportation and escape; perhaps adding horses will spice up the experience.

The game is set in the State of Leonida and race tracks are abundant in its real-life counterpart, California. Perhaps the developers could design a mission where Lucia and Jason will enter a race track to participate in the race and place bets. Horses will make a good alternative for other vehicles that have outstayed their welcome, like the Faggio scooter that fans grew to resent.

4. Mixed Martial Art Cage Matches

The franchise was famous for allowing players to take part in violent activities. The developers did not hold back and included a variation of mixed martial arts matches in The Ballad of Gay Tony that highlights the advanced hand-to-hand combat mechanics the team achieved during that time.

The upcoming sequel will likely feature the most advanced iteration of the studio’s proprietary game engine, which could give players a realistic experience and another step forward for immersion. The combat in GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 was massively improved, and this could share the spotlight for the new physics in next year’s entry.

3. Robbing Trains and Planes and other Precious Cargo in Free Roam

In previous games, players could rob small liquor stores, steal exotic vehicles, and rob wealthy characters. However, most of these activities are only available during certain parts of the story or when requested by gang members in the Red Dead Redemption series. Players can also come across random events, such as a money van from the banks, that appear on the map for them to steal.

Rumor has it that new GTA 6 features will be introduced that involve players searching for specific tools to unlock cars rather than the traditional way of carjacking and breaking the glass to enter. Adding trains with precious loot would reignite the beloved meme and pastime of GTA 5 players doing everything they can to stop and derail the invincible locomotives.

2. Basketball and Other Sports

GTA: San Andreas is regarded as one of the best entries in the franchise and featured many ambitious gaming mechanics ahead of its time. The game introduced the ability to place basketball in-game as a hobby, which is severely underrated along with other activities like arcade machines and the game of eight-ball.

The game also featured a cutting-edge system that showcases the changes in CJ’s body. Player activities will determine whether they want to see the protagonist bulk up and reach the maximum muscle capacity or let go and go off the rails for their diet program and suffer the consequences in fast-moving missions that require the player to hustle and keep up.

Previous games made a big deal about robberies and heists but never allowed players to plan themselves. Fans are baffled by the lack of freedom to commit bigger crimes without having tethered to the narrative.

Rockstar Games should let players take control rather than letting them ride on the journey and offer the definitive GTA experience.
