GTA 6 wanted system goes up to 6 stars and lets police track your face, your clothes, and your car

Rockstar's upcoming GTA 6 will expand its wanted system to a maximum of six stars, with law enforcement now capable of recognizing players through multiple identifiers including facial features, clothing, and vehicle descriptions. The mechanic introduces new evasion strategies where players can separate from accomplices to reduce police attention, adding layers of tactical decision-making to pursuits.

• Wanted level ceiling raised from five to six stars for the first time in mainline series history
• Police AI tracks three distinct identifiers: face, outfit, and vehicle
• Cooperative splitting mechanic allows partners to divert heat and reduce collective wanted status
• Multiple recognition vectors suggest disguises and vehicle swaps may play larger evasion roles
