How Will the Police Chase Work in 'GTA 6'?

During the Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look reveal this Thursday (27), Rockstar showed several gameplay details for GTA VI, including how police chases work.

Based on what had already been shown in the leaks, the police do not immediately go after Jason and Lucia. However, the stars are highlighted on the character, and when someone reports the incident, the search for the character begins.

In the mission that was shown, Jason and Lucia need to face waves of police cars, with their vehicle also being identified by the officers. As for the chase mechanics, the game seems to keep the classic police pursuit style from the other GTA games, with the characters being confronted by officers as they appear around Vice City.

Another important point is that Jason and Lucia need to switch cars to throw off the police, even going so far as to destroy the previous car they were using.
