Rockstar Games doesn't follow the rules. They rewrite them. Every GTA drop has brought wild surprises, but even then, there are certain things that would genuinely make fans go: “Wait, WHAT?” With the GTA 6 trailer already sparking frenzy, here are five curveballs that would leave us absolutely speechless if Rockstar actually pulled them off.

Plot twists and betrayals are GTA staples: Lance Vance flipping sides or Big Smoke selling out. Imagine a GTA storyline where the protagonists make it from start to end without being stabbed in the back. No hidden traitors. No twist endings. Just a straightforward criminal rise... and maybe a peaceful retirement? Sounds wholesome. And very un-Rockstar.

Sounds normal in 2025, but this is Rockstar, they usually roll slow with multiplayer innovations.

If GTA Online 2 launches with full crossplay between PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC? That’s a major shift. It would also signal a more connected, unified community from day one. And yes, that means console players getting sniped by PC modders (again).

Remember how Red Dead Redemption II broke our hearts? Now imagine you’re 60% into GTA 6’s story, deeply invested in Jason or Lucia, and BAM. One of them dies permanently, changing the game’s tone and shifting your control to a brand-new protagonist.

Rockstar’s games have always existed in parallel but separate worlds. If GTA 6 suddenly pulled a multiverse move and introduced characters, Easter eggs, or even missions linked to Red Dead Redemption, Bully, or Max Payne, it would break the internet.

Picture this: You boot up GTA 6, eager to punch in the classic “lower wanted level” or “spawn helicopter” combo… and it doesn’t work. No jetpacks. No invincibility. No infinite ammo.

Rockstar removing cheat codes would cause chaos in the community.

You’ve always been running from the cops. What if, for once, you played as one? A morally grey cop who bends the law or goes undercover in Vice City’s underworld would be a mind-bending twist. That would flip the GTA formula on its head, and we’d honestly love to see it

A GTA without guns? That sounds like ordering pizza without cheese, but think about it. What if Rockstar gave players the option to play the game without violence, focusing on stealth, hacking, manipulation, or social climbing? This would not only flip expectations but also open the game to a new kind of strategy and creativity. Rockstar has built its legacy on pushing boundaries, and GTA 6 already looks like its boldest leap yet. But if any of the above happened? That wouldn’t just be bold. It’d be revolutionary. Until then, we wait. And speculate. And scroll through those 70 new screenshots like maniacs.
