Don't worry, GTA 6's cars can drive for ages before their fuel tanks need refilling, leaving me wondering why this motor management's been added at all

Right, before you groan too hard, I promise that after I write this I'll take a break of indeterminate length from writing articles which amount to wondering aloud why a thing that's in GTA 6 is in GTA 6. It's not an addition there'd not been any hint was coming before today, as with the smell reaction system , leaks having hinted at fuel management all the way back in August. Since that point, it's been confirmed as in the version of the game Rockstar will be shipping to consoles (boo) next month and PC at some point after that. Edge 's GTA 6 long read notes the existence of fuel gauges and engine health readouts, but it also caveats them in what seems an insistence from Rockstar that the first of these features isn't designed to make filling up something the player necessarily has to do often or spend much time on when they do.
