Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is one of the most-awaited open-world games of all time. The game offers an exciting new adventure set in Vice City, featuring stunning graphics, engaging gameplay, and an expansive world. 

While many details about the game remain undisclosed, one feature that stands out is the upgraded phone mechanics, which are expected to play a bigger role than ever before.

GTA 6’s phone will be more powerful than ever

In GTA 5, released in 2013, the in-game phone was a key tool for missions, communication, and entertainment. However, with the evolution of smartphones, GTA 6 is likely to push this feature to new heights. Since mobile technology has dramatically improved, Rockstar could introduce features like:

  • Social media apps that influence the story
  • Live-streaming for in-game events
  • Video calls for more interactive missions
  • Dating apps to expand character interactions

The social media and influencer culture being a major part of today’s world, GTA 6’s phone could reflect these modern trends, adding depth and realism to the game.

Rockstar remains silent after GTA 6’s trailer

The first trailer for GTA 6, released in December 2023, generated massive excitement, giving fans a glimpse of the next-gen open-world experience. 

However, Rockstar has not shared further updates since, leading to speculation about new features, characters, and gameplay improvements.
