9 days to GTA 6: the social feed is a game system, and Jason and Lucia cannot post to Snapmatic
Nine days out. Today's confirmed fact: GTA 6's in-game social platform. NPC posts go viral, livestreamers can catch you on camera, and the returning Snapmatic is off limits to the two fugitives.
Nine days. Single figures. Today: the internet inside the game.
Confirmed
Much of Trailer 1 was cut like a scroll through a social feed: parody accounts, news clips, an alligator in a convenience store, a street takeover, police bodycam footage. The Extended Look made that a system you play inside.
- NPC posts can go viral.
- NPCs livestream, and can catch you on their streams.
- Snapmatic returns from GTA V, but Jason and Lucia cannot post to it. They are fugitives.
That ties straight into last Tuesday's piece on police leads: witnesses with phones are part of how a wanted level starts.
Reported
Edge names two phone apps: WAINK, which lists the cars fences are buying and their security, and Scooter Bros, which delivers your own car for a fee. Rockstar's radio reveal also mentioned podcast-style programming on the phone.
Our guess
Being filmed is a way of being found. A Vice City full of people holding phones up is a city full of witnesses, and that makes a quiet getaway worth more than a loud one.
More on Phone and social feed. Tomorrow: stealing cars is not what it was.
