With all the new content that has been added over the years ofGrand Theft AutoOnline,there have been some secrets that have been mostly forgotten to time. One player recently rediscovered an old multiplayer feature that allows one player to watch another player being chased by the police through the televisions that can be found dotted within the map or in a player’s in-game home. The ability to watch cop chases in real time gives an extra sense of immersion for players in aGrand Theft Auto Onlinelobby, allowing them to sit back and watch another player desperately escape the clutches of the police after robbing a convenience store.

Fans of the game, who saw the post on Reddit, were reminded of all the old features ofGrand Theft Auto Onlinethat had been mostly forgotten as the game brought about hoverbikes,doomsday bases and orbital strikes. Commenters on the post speculated on what other features they’d forgotten that had been placed in the original game. Other fans explained how the cop chase speculating worked, and that it was only available if a player was being chased by a police helicopter. Should the pursuing helicopter be destroyed, interestingly the player spectating the chase will be forced to stop watching TV.
A player who does not want to be spectated inGrand Theft Auto Onlinecan find a setting to stop it from happening, otherwise any player with access to a TV in their apartment or garage can spectate other players freely. The feature doesn’t seem to be enough to make players satisfied with their in-game homes though, as many players have shared their frustrations since the game’s launch about a lack of high-end andbeachfront property options inGrand Theft Auto Online.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
