GTA 4 Immersion Feature Makes a Grand Return in GTA 6
As the hype for Grand Theft Auto VI reaches a fever pitch, fans are looking to the past to shape their hopes for the future. Beyond the expected graphical leaps and expansive map, a passionate segment of the community is begging Rockstar Games to bring back a suite of subtle vehicle immersion features that made GTA 4 feel uniquely alive.

The requested features center on creating a more dynamic and realistic interaction with vehicles. In GTA 4, when you exited a car, the engine remained running and the radio kept playing, with the music spilling out into the game world. This small detail added a layer of authenticity, making the bustling streets of Liberty City feel more tangible.
This feature was notably scaled back in GTA V, where cars typically turn off upon exit, creating a less seamless experience. On forums like Reddit, players are now voicing their strong desire for its return in the neon-drenched streets of Vice City.

One fan explained the appeal, noting that hearing your chosen radio station blare from an open car door as you walk away is a “small thing that adds so much to the immersion.” The discussion has even delved into the potential for next-level detail, with users speculating that in GTA VI, the radio volume could logically be affected by whether the car’s windows are broken or rolled down.
While a version of this exists in GTA V’s interaction menu, fans argue it’s not the same as the default, integrated behavior found in the 2008 title. Given the incredible level of detail already showcased in the GTA VI trailers—from hyper-realistic character animations to dense, living environments—the community believes reinstating this beloved mechanic would be a perfect fit for Rockstar’s commitment to immersion.
