How GTA VI works
What press previews have reported about the new systems. Every section gets re-tested against the real game on launch day.
The wanted level
You only get stars when someone sees the crime, a victim reports it, or a security system catches it. Police build a description of your face, outfit, weapons and vehicle. Change clothes or hair, drop the weapon they identified, wear a mask, or split up from your partner to shake it.
The map: state of Leonida
The map is reported to be about three times the playable area of Red Dead Redemption 2, with unexplored areas hidden until you visit. The story opens in the Leonida Keys.
