Game-changing GTA 6 car feature could make crashes way more realistic
GTA 6 fans have spotted a huge potential gameplay feature hiding in plain sight that would make the game even more realistic.
Rockstar Games’ long-awaitedGTA 6is finally scheduled to release on August 11, 2025 and fans are still combing over every detail from the first two trailers and screenshots for more details.
Although Rockstar hasn’t officially revealed any gameplay details yet,leaked footageandinside informationhave indicated that this will be by far the most realistic GTA game yet.
A new example of this was found in late June when players reviewed some of thenew screenshotsand made a big discovery.
GTA 6 could have the most realistic crashes ever
In one of the images, character Raul Bautista is seen driving a car. The vehicle contains a diagram indicating that it has airbags.
This may seem like a mundane addition to the image or just Rockstar having an impeccable attention to detail, but if cars now have airbags in GTA 6, it will change how crashes work.
In prior games, players would get thrown from their cars and into the streets, but this would completely change that and could have even deeper gameplay implications.
“This is actually a moderately interesting detail that I wonder if it will be in direct relation to how you play the game,” one player said.
“It would have to be only used for a high-impact crash for sure,” another chimed in. “As they are supposed to be bringing more realistic car destruction, the standard un-customised cars should naturally be much more brittle compared to GTAV anyway.”

GTA 6 feature is now a big part of GTA Online, but not for everyone
“I was playing GTA V yesterday, and got into a big accident and flew out the window. I thought it’d be nice to be able to put on a seatbelt the same way you put your helmet on while on a bike. Would also be cool for harder collisions to cause the airbag to go off,” echoed someone else.
“I think we are about to see the most realistic crashes ever seen in a Rockstar title,” commented another user.
WithGTA 6releasing in just under a year, Rockstar has ample time to showcase all the new gameplay features VI will have to offer, but if this is a sign of things to come, the next GTA is going to be even more advanced than many once thought.
