I hope GTA 6 has Free Aim lobbies by default

GTA Online is both PvP and PvE, but it’s mostly PvE. I think one of the biggest reasons PvP felt dead for years was the aim assist. Gunfights had very little skill expression when the game basically aimed for you, with rolling being one of the only ways to avoid getting headshotted.

It’s pretty obvious why Team Deathmatches died so quickly and why most players moved toward racing and missions. Even in Free Roam, you could drive past someone at 80 mph and somehow they land multiple headshots because of how strong the aim assist was.

Free Aim lobbies existed, but they weren’t the default and were buried in the settings, so they were practically dead. I really hope GTA 6 makes players choose their aiming preference before entering Online.
