NPCs are known for their strange glitches, so much so that acting like one has become a trend on TikTok.
A larger map
In light of people calling for bigger and better maps, it's expected that Rockstar Games may address this with a new and improved map.
A tiny portion of a map was leaked earlier this year. From the leak, gamers predict that GTA 6's map may be as much as 1.5 times bigger than its previous.

Not only is the map expected to be larger, it's rumored that Rockstar will continuously update the game so that more missions and cities are available for players to explore, Eurogamer reports.
