One of the biggest questions surrounding GTA 6 is just how much freedom Rockstar Games will give players during its story missions, especially with the developer promising its biggest and most detailed open world yet. The Grand Theft Auto franchise has always offered plenty of freedom outside its main missions, but the same hasn't necessarily been true when progressing through the story. Rockstar's missions are often cinematic, with specific objectives and sequences that players are expected to follow, even when the open world offers seemingly endless possibilities.
With GTA 6, Rockstar appears to be making a conscious effort to change that balance without sacrificing the storytelling that has become such an important part of the franchise. Netflix's GTA 6 Extended Look back in August showcased gameplay involving Jason and Lucia, including a chaotic escape from an apartment building and a police chase involving Raul. While both sequences appeared heavily scripted at first glance, there's apparently more going on behind the scenes than the footage might suggest. In fact, Rockstar has now provided some particularly interesting clarification about how these missions actually work.
