- Players can either converse with passengers in the taxi or skip the journey to travel quicker in GTA 6.
Rockstar is building its biggest map yet with GTA 6’s State of Leonida, which is reportedly 2x as big as GTA 5 and 3x larger than Red Dead Redemption 2’s map. Naturally, with such a massive map to explore, players may get tired of driving from one place to another, spending most of their playtime behind the wheel. Thankfully, players can fast travel in GTA 6, and here’s how.
How Does Fast Travel Work in GTA 6?
GTA 6 features an in-game taxi app called Ryde Me, which players can use to fast-travel between various locations in GTA 6‘s State of Leonida.
The app will be pre-installed on Jason and Lucia’s in-game phone in GTA 6. However, Rockstar hasn’t revealed how the app works, how players will book rides, or whether fast travel will cost anything.
Players can share rides with other passengers and have conversations with them throughout the journey in GTA 6.
Meanwhile, in GTA 5, you could call or book a cab with Downtown Cab Co. and hitch a ride. Next, you could either take in the sights of Los Santos or use the “Skip” button to fast travel right to your destination.
Of course, players need to select a destination first before they can hop in and skip the ride. So, the upcoming fast travel system will likely use the same mechanics, using the GTA 6 dedicated taxi app, but much faster.
Red Dead Redemption 2 had a slower, limited fast-travel system from your camp to a major town with a loading screen. Thanks to the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, fast travel in GTA 6 should come with minimal downtime and no loading screens.
For even older GTA games, taxis helped with fast travel: players could call one, choose a destination, and pay to skip the ride. However, the new fast travel system seems much more streamlined, and both Jason and Lucia in GTA 6 can use the Ryde Me taxi app to book a ride whenever and wherever they want. Think of it as the game’s own Uber.
Given that GTA 6’s Vice City alone is twice the size of GTA 5’s Los Santos, fast travel will come in clutch when you’re trying to tackle missions without wasting time on long drives. So, what do you think about the fast travel in GTA 6? Let us know.
