What happened
The Extended Look confirmed that GTA 6's wanted system goes to six stars — a level absent from GTA 5, which capped at five. The sixth star appears in the HUD during footage shown in the reveal. Rockstar has not detailed what the sixth tier brings, but the wanted overhaul already includes county-specific police departments across Vice-Dale, Leonard, Ambrosia, Kelly and Mariana counties, plus K9 units, drones and modernised dispatch.
