GTA 6 Brings Back Six-Star Wanted Level

The GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look has revealed several new details about Rockstar's upcoming open-world game, including a major change to the police system. The footage officially confirms that GTA 6 will bring back the six-star wanted level, giving players an even more intense police response when they cause enough trouble in Leonida.

The six-star system last appeared in previous Grand Theft Auto games, while GTA 5 capped wanted levels at five stars. Now, Rockstar is bringing the extra level of chaos back for GTA 6.

GTA 6 Six-Star Wanted Level Explained

The return of the six-star wanted level is one of the most-wanted features. As players increase their wanted level, police responses become increasingly difficult to escape, eventually reaching the game's highest six-star level. However, Rockstar appears to be making the wanted system much more sophisticated than simply adding another star.

The Extended Look also shows that crime scenes can remain active after you leave the area. Police may continue searching locations connected to your crimes, making it more difficult to simply return to the same area after escaping.

Changing Clothes and Cars Can Help Lose the Police

One of the biggest changes to the wanted system is how players can reduce their chances of being identified. Changing your vehicle or clothing can help you lose the attention of law enforcement. If police have identified the car you were using during a crime, switching vehicles gives you a better chance of breaking away from the pursuit.

The same applies to clothing. Changing your outfit can make it harder for police to identify you once you have escaped their immediate line of sight. This should make police chases feel more dynamic than in previous GTA games. Instead of simply driving until the wanted stars disappear, players may need to actively think about how law enforcement is tracking them.
