Rockstar Games is shaking up the Grand Theft Auto franchise once again, as GTA 6 appears to be adopting some major mechanics from its Western counterpart, Red Dead Redemption 2. The upcoming game's Ultimate Edition, unveiled recently, includes a weapons locker that hints at a more limited loadout for players, mirroring the system in RDR2. This move has sparked debates among GTA fans accustomed to carrying an arsenal of weapons in their pockets. Preliminary gameplay footage suggests that GTA 6 protagonists might sport weapons on their backs, indicating potential storage expansion. However, it's important to note that this footage stems from a work-in-progress build and may not reflect the final product. The Ultimate Edition also reveals a stash box for depositing stolen goods, implying a more prominent role for looting and dynamic heists in GTA 6, much like RDR2's approach. Pre-orders for the game have commenced globally, with a price tag of $79.99 for the standard edition. However, physical media enthusiasts should note that the game will not be available on disc; instead, physical copies will come with a digital code. Some retailers are resisting this decision and opting not to sell the game. GTA 6 is slated for release on November 19, exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
