GTA VI to Feature Hundreds of Interactive Malls and Over 700 Usable Stores, Insider Reveals

GTA VI is shaping up to be Rockstar’s most immersive game to date. According to a report from TechRadar citing insider source GameRoll, the upcoming title will boast a massive number of interactive commercial spaces.

Fully Usable Shopping Centers and Over 700 Stores

The insider claims that GTA VI will include hundreds of fully functional shopping centers, with more than 700 individual stores scattered throughout the game world. These won’t just be window dressing—every store is said to be completely interactive. Players will be able to enter them, explore the interiors, and make purchases, marking a major leap in realism and open-world interactivity.

Expanding Interior Access and Realism

Rockstar appears to be significantly expanding the number of accessible interiors compared to previous titles. This aligns with earlier reports hinting at a deeper focus on immersion, setting a new standard for in-game environments. From boutiques to big-box retailers, the sheer variety and interactivity of these locations aim to make the virtual world feel more alive than ever.

Character Switching Returns With Upgrades

Another confirmed returning feature is the character-switching mechanic introduced in GTA V. In GTA VI, players will be able to seamlessly switch between the two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, even outside of story missions. Certain missions will rely heavily on this mechanic, integrating it into the core gameplay rather than using it just as a narrative device.

Functional Skyscrapers With Elevators

To add even more depth, some skyscrapers will feature working elevators, making parts of business centers accessible and interactive. This may open the door to new mission types and exploration options within high-rise buildings, further enhancing the game’s urban realism.
