GTA 6 fans have discovered another small detail in the Extended Look, and this time it is something most players probably would never notice: the phone screen turns black when a character holds the phone against their ear.

The discovery was shared on the GTA 6 subreddit, where a fan pointed out that the phone screen appears to react naturally when Jason or another character is making a call.

When the phone is held close to the character’s ear, the display turns off, just like a real smartphone.

It is a very small detail, but the GTA 6 community immediately started talking about it.

For many fans, this is another example of how much effort Rockstar Games is putting into the little things in GTA 6.

The game is already packed with huge features, a massive open world and highly detailed characters, but Rockstar seems to be paying attention to small everyday actions as well.

And that is what makes this discovery interesting.

A phone screen turning off when it is close to someone’s face does not change the gameplay.

It does not make missions more exciting, and most players may never even notice it while playing.

But details like this can make the world feel more believable.

Instead of simply placing a phone in a character’s hand, Rockstar appears to have thought about how the device should behave during a normal phone call.

The Reddit comments quickly turned the discovery into a joke, with some fans sarcastically claiming they have been waiting for realistic phone sensors for more than a decade.

Others joked that they could not understand why anyone would care about something so small.

That contrast is what makes the discussion entertaining.

Some fans see the phone sensor as another sign of Rockstar’s attention to detail, while others are joking about how deep the GTA 6 community has gone with its frame-by-frame analysis.

One commenter even joked that the game needs realistic scam calls and other everyday phone features. Another joked about getting fake computer support calls.

Of course, these comments are clearly jokes rather than serious requests for GTA 6 features.

But the discussion does show something important about the community.

GTA 6 fans are now examining almost every frame of Rockstar’s footage.

After waiting years for the next Grand Theft Auto game, players are looking for details everywhere.

Character animations, vehicle behavior, hair physics, clothing and even phone screens are becoming topics of discussion.

The phone discovery is just the latest example.

Some fans also compared the level of detail with Red Dead Redemption 2, joking that GTA 6 sometimes looks like a more modern version of Rockstar’s previous game with even more small interactions added to the world.

That comparison is understandable because Rockstar has built a reputation for creating detailed open worlds.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was filled with small interactions that made its world feel alive. GTA 6 appears to be following that same idea while bringing it into a modern setting.

Phones are especially important in GTA 6 because they are expected to be a major part of how Jason and Lucia interact with the world.

Characters can use their phones for communication, social media and other activities, so having small details like the screen reacting naturally can make those interactions feel more believable.

The discovery also raises an interesting question about how many other tiny details Rockstar has included.

If the phone screen reacts to proximity, fans may start looking for other small pieces of technology behaving realistically.

They could examine car screens, televisions, cameras and other devices throughout Leonida.

And knowing the GTA community, someone will probably find something else very soon.

The Reddit discussion also shows that not every phone-related detail in the Extended Look is perfect.

One commenter noticed a scene where an NPC appears to be filming people near a pool, but questioned whether the phone is actually recording what the character is looking at.

The user pointed out that the phone seemed to be aimed in a strange direction and that the screen did not appear to show obvious movement.

Other users then discussed whether the character could simply be looking at a photo or had already taken a picture.

That part of the conversation is much less clear, so it is better treated as fan observation rather than proof that NPC phone interactions are limited.

Still, it shows just how closely fans are studying GTA 6.

The biggest takeaway from the proximity-sensor discovery is not that GTA 6 has a groundbreaking phone feature.

It is that Rockstar is filling the game with small details that players may only notice after several playthroughs.

These details may not appear in marketing material as major features, but they can make a huge difference once players are actually exploring Leonida.

Imagine walking through Vice City, seeing NPCs using their phones, watching characters make calls and noticing their screens reacting naturally.

None of these things are major gameplay mechanics on their own, but together they can make the world feel much more believable.

That seems to be what Rockstar is aiming for with GTA 6.

The community will probably continue finding these details as more players go through the Extended Look frame by frame.

And if the reaction to something as simple as a phone screen is any indication, GTA 6 fans are going to have a lot of tiny details to discover when the full game finally arrives.

For now, the phone proximity sensor has become another funny but impressive example of Rockstar’s obsession with detail.

GTA 6 may have massive features that will dominate the headlines, but it could be the tiny details like this that make Leonida feel truly alive.
