GTA 6 VEHICLES: EXPECTED VEHICLE COUNT, CLASSES, AND HOW IT COMPARES TO PREVIOUS GAMES
The Grand Theft Auto series has always been adding more vehicles to its roster with each new game, and GTA 6 will be the most ambitious one yet. Rumors indicate that the game will feature more than 300 vehicles at launch, more than any other title in the series in terms of variety, realism, and looks. Rockstar has always honed in-game vehicle handling, personalization, and driving physics, and everyone is waiting to see how GTA 6 will take these features a notch higher.
GTA 6 car count: Shattering new records
GTA 6 will have more than 300 vehicles at launch, the biggest launch lineup in the series' history. For reference:
- GTA 3 had 56 vehicles
- GTA Vice City had 102 vehicles
- GTA San Andreas had 189 vehicles
- GTA 4 & Episodes had 177 vehicles
- GTA 5 (launch) had 251 vehicles
- GTA 5 + GTA Online (total now) has 700+ vehicles
Rockstar added nearly 500 vehicles in GTA Online down the line, adding everything from sports cars and muscle cars to futuristic flying bikes. Whether Rockstar follows the same pattern of excessive vehicle additions in GTA 6 remains to be seen or leans towards a more realistic set of vehicles.
Vehicle classes and variety in GTA 6
GTA 5 added a class system that categorized vehicles into Supercars, Sports Cars, Sedans, Muscle Cars, SUVs, Off-Road, and Military Vehicles. The same system is anticipated to come back in GTA 6 with more diversity and realism.
Previous GTA Online updates have also added weaponized vehicles, armored cars, Formula 1 vehicles, and command centers. Although these vehicles introduced fun, others complained that they spoiled immersion. Rockstar might expand on these features or tone them down to create a more balanced game in GTA 6.
GTA 6 will redefine vehicle diversity, providing the biggest range of cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles to play with at launch ever, along with enhanced driving mechanics and realism. Whether Rockstar continues to add more futuristic and flamboyant vehicles, as it has done in GTA Online, or turns toward a more realistic and grounded direction is unclear. But one thing is for sure: GTA 6's vast car roster will have a defining influence on the overall gameplay experience, with everything from exploration and missions to racing and customization being affected.
