Grand Theft Auto 5 set a new bar for open-world games after its 2013 release. The sprawling city of Los Santos has continued to rival the best virtual worlds in the games industry almost eight years later. Still, ever since rumors and speculation about Grand Theft Auto 6 have begun circulating, it's become clear that fans of the series want Rockstar Games to focus on adding more explorable interiors into its next installment.
Even though GTA Online has continued to break player-count records, GTA 5's map can feel oddly empty when comparing how big it is versus the buildings players can actually step into. Los Santos and its surrounding areas stretch an impressive 31 square miles, yet fans have estimated only about 40 interiors are accessible. GTA 6 can rectify that by adding more restaurants and landmark buildings that players can enter during their next urban adventure.
GTA 5 mods on PC like latest GTA 6 rumors suggest that the game could consist of several interconnected cities, which would be a massive blank canvas for the developer. Regardless of where GTA 6 takes place, here are a handful of explorable buildings that should be added to the franchise.
GTA 6: Explorable Buildings That Rockstar Needs To Add
A museum in a central part of GTA 6's main city would be the perfect way for Rockstar to show off its attention to detail. It could include various exhibits from different ancient civilizations and house precious artifacts players can observe or even steal. The developer could design a GTA 6 Heist centered around stealing a treasure from the museum as a pivotal part of the game's story. However, there are several existing GTA 5 establishments that could be vastly improved by making their interiors accessible as well.
Fast food restaurants, like Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell, are found across Los Santos, but all of them can't be walked into. Rockstar should introduce the Red Dead Redemption 2 hunger and stamina system and let players nourish their characters by visiting restaurants and convenience stores. Even if players choose not to frequent them, their bustling drive-throughs and parking lots will make the city feel more alive. Every time a GTA 5 player is Wasted, they respawn near a hospital, which would make it a natural choice for an interior. Characters could wake up in a hospital bed and have to find their way out or explore its halls. The medical establishment is such a longstanding Grand Theft Auto building that Rockstar should definitely make them enterable in GTA 6.
Finally, the developer could encourage indoor exploration by sprinkling explorable homes across GTA 6. These could consist of unique apartments, trailers, and mansions that players could spot from the outside and then hatch plans to rob them. Rockstar could create an in-game achievement for finding all of them, and each home could contain unique treasures gamers could collect over the course of Grand Theft Auto 6's campaign. Whatever Rockstar decides, new explorable interiors are definitely needed.
