GTA 6 Leaks Confirms Iconic 6-Star Wanted Level System Returns After 13 Years

Polygon · ·

Thirteen years ago, when Grand Theft Auto 5 was originally released, fans were confused as to why Rockstar had downgraded its signature series Wanted system. The mechanic, which informs players of how ardently the in-game police will pursue them, went from six stars in Grand Theft Auto 4 to a mere five stars. Recent gameplay leaks of the open-world shooter reveal that the classic Wanted system is back. Grand Theft Auto 6's cops may have even been upgraded.
