A small but intriguing detail from the GTA 6 trailer has fans buzzing—one that could totally shake up how players deal with the cops.
According to a breakdown by YouTuber Obvious Malcolm, it looks like Rockstar might be adding stealth police cars to the game. Yep, the kind that are nearly invisible until it’s way too late.
In the trailer, around the 0:47 mark, Jason drives past what looks like a pretty standard scene—a guy getting arrested. But if you look closer, there’s a black car parked nearby that seems like just another civilian vehicle… until Jason gets close. That’s when ghost decals suddenly become visible, revealing that the car is actually a cop car.
Cool new find by Obvious Malcolm+:some cop cars will feature “ghost” decals. These are designed to be nearly invisible at a distance until light shines upon the reflective material, allowing police cars to stealthily blend in with regular traffic.Interesting gameplay implications here,let’s discuss!

In the real world, these ghost decals are reflective and can be hard to spot unless light hits them just right.
They allow police cars to technically be marked while still blending in. If this detail is more than just for show, it could mean GTA 6 is stepping up its realism by making it way harder to tell who’s watching—especially while you’re committing crimes.
Avoiding the Cops Might Actually Be a Challenge Now
In past GTA games, once you got a wanted level, the cops would fan out and search, giving you time to hide. But if GTA 6 has undercover cop cars just casually lurking around, players might not even get the chance to run. You could be getting tailed or watched without even knowing it.
And honestly, this would be a major shift for the series. Back in the older GTA titles, you could sometimes just duck into a garage or out of sight and wait it out. Then the games started ramping up the AI to make them smarter, making it harder to escape. Now? If stealthy cop cars are roaming the map, players will have to be way more alert.
Is This Just a Trailer Detail or a Real Mechanic?
Of course, Rockstar hasn’t confirmed whether this is just a neat visual for the trailer or something you’ll actually encounter during gameplay. They did say the trailer was a mix of cinematics and real gameplay, so there’s hope that this isn’t just a one-off moment.
With Take-Two’s CEO hyping GTA 6 as “the best thing anyone’s ever seen,” it wouldn’t be surprising if Rockstar is cooking up all kinds of next-level AI and crime systems. Whether or not ghost police cars are part of the final product, it’s pretty clear that escaping the law in GTA 6 won’t be as easy as it used to be.
