Preview coverage following Rockstar North's August 2026 media sessions reports that GTA VI moves away from the heavy auto-lock-on aiming used by default in earlier titles, instead relying on a lighter aim-assist with some stickiness that players can adjust. Cinematic kill and crash camera options are also reported as toggleable. This detail was relayed through outlet coverage of the preview rather than a direct Rockstar statement, so exact settings and defaults could change before release.

Key facts

  • Reported to drop hard auto-lock as the default aiming behavior
  • Described as a lighter, adjustable aim-assist system instead
  • Cinematic kill/crash camera reported as an optional toggle
  • Sourced from press coverage of hands-off preview sessions, not a Rockstar statement
