Rockstar boss says GTA 6 police "can be harder" to shake off, "but it's fun"

Rockstar North revealed a reworked wanted system in GTA 6: police have a "heat" mechanic and persistent memory of the player's appearance and vehicle. Cops no longer appear on the minimap during chases—they are visible only via Focus mode.

• Police remember player's clothing and car even after wanted stars disappear
• During chases, police are not shown on the minimap
• Cops can be detected via Focus mode, which sees them through walls
• NPCs react more realistically to weapons in the player's hands
