Rockstar Games' upcoming "Grand Theft Auto VI" (GTA 6) will introduce a vehicle fuel system, a first for the series. Players will need to monitor their fuel levels while driving and visit gas stations to refuel when empty. This news has quickly sparked controversy among players, as previous installments lacked such restrictions.
YouTuber TGG, who recently had an early hands-on experience with the game at Rockstar North, revealed that gas stations will not only allow players to refuel conventional vehicles but also perform repairs and charge electric cars. After selecting the option to refuel, a brief animation plays, with the entire process taking approximately 10 seconds.
Following the system's demonstration, Rob Nelson, Co-Studio Head at Rockstar North, quipped, "Hey, for a full tank, that's pretty fast." He then added, "You can't complain about that, right?"
In fact, the inclusion of a fuel mechanic in "GTA 6" has already raised concerns among some players. Previously, some had voiced opposition to a design similar to the "Mafia" series, arguing that running out of gas during a mission or a police chase could disrupt the game's flow.
TGG, however, believes that as long as players pay attention to their fuel gauge, the mechanic shouldn't pose a significant problem. The real challenge, he suggested, might arise from hot-wiring a nearly empty car while evading the police.
Rockstar has not yet disclosed how frequently vehicles will need refueling, nor has it confirmed whether this mechanic can be disabled. Nelson stated that the team is currently awaiting the game's launch to observe player reactions to the system.
