Gameplay
Six-star wanted level
The sixth star returns for the first time since San Andreas.
Direct answer
GTA 6 restores the six-star wanted level. The sixth star is visible in the HUD in Rockstar's official Extended Look footage — GTA 5 and GTA IV both capped at five stars, with six last seen in GTA: San Andreas.
Rockstar has not detailed what the sixth tier deploys. It sits on top of an already overhauled wanted system with county-specific police departments across Vice-Dale, Leonard, Ambrosia, Kelly and Mariana counties, plus K9 units, drones and modernised dispatch.
