After years of waiting, Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally entering its biggest marketing phase, with pre-orders set to open on June 25. Excitement surrounding Rockstar’s next open-world giant is reaching new heights, and players are hoping the studio has some surprises left to reveal.
While fans are eager to see more gameplay and learn about GTA 6’s online component, there is one feature many longtime players would love to see return in a major way: proper car tuning.
Midnight Club DNA Deserves a Comeback
Rockstar once delivered some of the best vehicle customization in gaming through the Midnight Club series. From body kits and spoilers to hydraulics, neon lighting, rims, and extensive performance upgrades, players had plenty of freedom to create unique rides.
Although GTA Online introduced various customization options over the years, many players still feel the system lacks the depth and creativity that older Rockstar titles offered.
GTA 6 presents the perfect opportunity to change that.
More Than Just Faster Cars
Vehicle tuning is about more than simply increasing speed. Players enjoy expressing themselves through their cars, whether that means building realistic street racers, off-road monsters, luxury cruisers, or complete showpieces.
Features many fans would like to see include:
- Expanded body kits and visual upgrades.
- More wheel and tire options.
- Adjustable suspension and ride height.
- Interior customization.
- Hydraulic systems and air suspension.
- Performance tuning with meaningful differences.
- Paint layers, decals, and custom liveries.
- Exhaust tuning that changes sound and performance.
Such features would add another layer of immersion to Vice City and encourage players to spend countless hours building their dream garages.
Learning From the Competition
Games like Need for Speed, Forza Horizon, and even some racing simulators have demonstrated just how much players enjoy deep customization systems.
Rockstar already has experience creating memorable car culture experiences, and with GTA 6 expected to become one of the biggest entertainment launches ever, this seems like the ideal moment to revisit those roots.
A Dream Garage for a New Generation
Whether players prefer street racing, roleplay servers, or simply cruising around Leonida with friends, a more advanced tuning system would benefit everyone.
Rockstar has built a reputation for attention to detail, and many fans hope that same philosophy extends to vehicles. Bringing back some of the spirit that made Midnight Club special could make GTA 6’s automotive scene one of the most memorable aspects of the game.
As the countdown to launch continues, one thing is certain: players aren’t just looking forward to stealing cars again—they want to make them their own.
