Key information
Rockstar Games has announced that Grand Theft Auto VI, scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, will feature a nuanced system for stealing vehicles. Players will encounter varying levels of difficulty depending on the car model, with high-end luxury vehicles requiring specialized tools or digital intervention.
To bypass advanced security systems and trackers found in premium cars, protagonists Jason and Lucia will utilize a new in-game application called WAiNK. This tool allows players to scan and disable sophisticated security measures. Furthermore, the application provides information regarding the vehicle's market value and the cost to register it as personal property.
The theft mechanics are tiered based on vehicle age and security complexity. While older models can be stolen using traditional methods like lock-picking minigames with a crowbar, more secure vehicles necessitate advanced equipment such as key cloners. These specialized devices are not immediately available and must be acquired as players progress through the adventure.
Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games describes the title as the most immersive evolution of the series, arriving over thirteen years after the release of its predecessor.
