GTA 6 Leak Suggests Deep NPC AI: Civilians Can Call 911

Published on 7/23/2025

Rockstar Games is reportedly stepping up the realism in GTA 6 with civilian NPCs able to dial 911, greatly enhancing immersion and accountability, according to recent community leaks.

Dynamic Response to Crime

Sources suggest that this new mechanic allows ordinary civilians to call emergency services upon witnessing crimes. This system, if implemented, will enable police presence to escalate contextually—mirroring real-world police response and rating levels.

Smarter AI & Gameplay Impact

NPCs will respond dynamically—running for cover, fleeing, or calling authorities based on severity.

Adds depth to the iconic wanted-level system (which could return up to six stars), where chaotic streaks trigger rapid escalation .

Encourages stealthier gameplay, as loud shootouts could now have major narrative consequences.

Leveraging Vice City’s Open World

Combined with new features—over 700 enterable locations, full shopping malls, weight/health mechanics, underwater exploration, and a revamped character-switch system—this police escalation feature keeps the world feeling alive and responsive.

Why It Matters

Allowing civilians to call law enforcement transforms GTA 6 from an action playground into a fully reactive, consequence-driven sandbox. It forces players to adapt their playstyle, evade detection more strategically, and builds suspense in chaotic heists or street-level encounters.
