GTA 6 may bring a new take on the weapons wheel, a core feature fans first used in GTA V.
GTA 6 could improve the weapons wheel from GTA V
A familiar feature might return in GTA 6, but with a serious upgrade. According to recent forum talk, Rockstar Games has been tinkering with the weapons wheel system for years. It’s not a huge stretch after all, Red Dead Redemption 2 offered a much cleaner, more intuitive version of it. That shift alone sparked hope that GTA 6 might follow suit with something more refined.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond adds the Vi-O-La bike for fast traversal and combat, with Amiibo support and a confirmed December 4 release date.
New rumors heat up the GTA 6 conversation
The speculation started gaining real traction when a well-known user named Tez2 dropped some insight on GTAForums. Responding to a comment about changes to the wheel system, Tez2 claimed Rockstar had tested smaller wheels or sub-wheels nested inside the main one. He also suggested the team may have since pivoted to a different direction, but the core idea had been explored.
Rockstar’s past gives us hints about GTA 6
Red Dead Redemption 2 featured a slower, more thoughtful approach to gear access. That setup won players over. And considering how much Rockstar learns from its own games, GTA 6 is likely to reflect that feedback. Even so, there’s no confirmation. At this point, it’s all smoke and speculation.
If GTA 6 reworks the system, here’s what might change
Given the discussion around the weapons wheel, here’s what could realistically shift:
- Smaller sub-menus for different weapon types
- Quicker access to throwables and gadgets
- A cleaner, more visual layout
- Smart categorization tied to character movement
- Integration with new tech or gameplay mechanics
These tweaks would help the game feel tighter without slowing it down.
Not just weapons inventory may shift too
Beyond guns and grenades, players could see an overhaul to how gear and items are managed overall. If Rockstar expands gadget functionality, the inventory structure will likely adapt. Think loadouts with more depth but less clutter. Still, none of this has been confirmed, so it’s best to keep expectations in check.
Fans speculate, but Rockstar remains silent
Despite mounting rumors, Rockstar hasn’t said a word about the weapons wheel or inventory system. That silence leaves space for speculation but no solid answers. What’s clear is that expectations are sky-high, and every small leak or whisper fuels the fire.
GTA 6 is still wrapped in secrecy. But if Rockstar’s past experiments are anything to go by, the next evolution of its weapon wheel may offer more than just a fresh coat of paint. The wheel turns again, and this time, it might click.
