Get ready to evade arrest like never before! A recent leak has confirmed that the classic six-star Wanted system is making a triumphant return in Grand Theft Auto 6. This news will undoubtedly thrill fans who felt that GTA 5’s police were a bit too aggressive.
The Return of the Six-Star System
For those who remember, the Wanted system is your indicator of how intensely the police will pursue you. In Grand Theft Auto 6, it appears Rockstar is bringing back the classic six-star system, offering players more granular control over their criminal escapades – or lack thereof.
While clips showcasing the system in action are being swiftly taken down by Take-Two due to DMCA claims, Polygon has reviewed the footage. The leak shows protagonist Jason engaging in some light “persuasion” with a wrench, triggering the police response. Interestingly, officers communicate via megaphone before any Wanted stars appear, almost serving as a warning.
The victim of Jason’s “persuasion” earns two stars, and within seconds, a lone police car arrives, followed by another. The clip ends before we see how the system progresses further, leaving us eager to witness the full spectrum of law enforcement responses.
GTA 5’s Aggressive Pursuit: A Thing of the Past?
In Grand Theft Auto 5, one star signaled a minor crime, while higher levels triggered increasingly aggressive responses. At two stars, players faced multiple police cars, roadblocks, and even helicopters. Four stars brought riot vans and shoot-to-kill tactics, while five stars unleashed a relentless swarm of officers.
One of the biggest complaints about GTA 5’s police was their overzealousness. They could respond to crimes reported by NPCs, search for players across the entire map, and even use helicopters with incredibly wide fields of vision. This made evading arrest feel like an impossible task at times.

GTA 6 hackers say new leak is meant to punish Rockstar for the game’s lack of discs
Data miners previously discovered evidence that Rockstar had experimented with a six-star system in GTA 5, which would have unleashed military tanks upon players. While this level of chaos might seem cartoonish, it represented the pinnacle of law enforcement escalation.
GTA 6: A More Grounded Approach?

While the return of tanks would undoubtedly thrill some fans, it might clash with Grand Theft Auto 6’s rumored more “grounded” tone. The leaked footage also reveals icons under Jason’s Wanted level: a coat hanger, a torso, and a car. This suggests that police may be able to track players based on their last known vehicle and appearance, hinting at even more sophisticated tracking methods.
The return of the six-star system in GTA 6 promises a more nuanced and engaging law enforcement experience. Whether it will live up to the hype remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the streets of [City Name] are about to get a whole lot more interesting!
