GTA 6 Mechanics

Developer-confirmed GTA VI control of Jason and Lucia: switch in the open world, meet up, and in some missions swap automatically — with story-based restrictions. Official footage shows mid-gameplay swaps.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI combat options include named suppressive fire. Official footage also shows slow-motion aiming presentation and body-region markers. This page does not call that slow-motion Dead Eye.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI system that tracks how the player commits crime — professional versus violent — and changes how the world responds. Not a simple good/evil honor meter.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI body tracking: health, cardio, and fitness stats, plus muscle or weight change. Gym workouts are a playable minigame. This is not a copy of San Andreas by default — only Nelson's described stats are listed.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI food effects: food can buff meters, energy drinks can strengthen stamina, and those extra amounts are lost if health falls below its normal maximum. Training raises base stats instead.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI relationship tracking for Jason and Lucia: players can invest in a couple path or a partners-in-crime path. Holding hands and kissing are gated by relationship depth. Separate from Criminal Profile.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI world reactions: civilians vary more in height and build, some are armed and can fight back, carjacking victims may refuse or shoot, and people respond to visible guns and eavesdropping.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI personal vehicle ownership: register stolen cars, start with limited garage space, buy additional garages, and distinguish personal cars from temporary stolen ones. A delivery app can bring a personal vehicle to the player.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI robbery systems: rob stores alone or with a partner, use back doors and security bypass, and hit jewelry stores, small banks, and gang hideouts. Open-world crime is tied to earning money for the story.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI safehouses are more like RDR2 camps than classic GTA save houses: they change as the story moves chapter by chapter, residents keep schedules, and some nearby areas act as protected zones.

An invited GTA VI preview describes refuelling cars and charging EVs at service stations. Consumption, empty-tank behaviour and optional settings are still unknown.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI vehicle theft: scan a car for lock, alarm, tracker, and value; older cars may need lock-picking tools while luxury cars can require a key cloner. Stolen cars can be sold or later registered.

Developer-confirmed overhaul of GTA VI wanted gameplay: crimes need a witness or alarm, police search a Heat Area using clothing, appearance, vehicle, and weapon descriptions, and a six-star HUD is visible in official footage.

Developer-confirmed GTA VI weapon carrying: long guns are no longer invisible. Store them in Ammu-Nation lockers or vehicle trunks. NPCs react more to a gun in hand than to a slung long gun.
