Activities and StatsJason and Lucia have health, stamina and Focus bars that food boosts for a while and workouts raise for good; their bodies change with eating and exercise; safehouses are full of things to use; and Leonida offers gyms, sports, diving, racing and robberies of every size. -
Cars and DrivingStealing a car in Grand Theft Auto 6 depends on the car: older ones open with a slim jim, newer ones need a key cloner and may carry trackers, a phone app tells you what a car is worth, and fences buy what you take. Driving is heavier, streets are narrower, and there is fuel. -
Combat and FocusGrand Theft Auto 6 drops the series' hard lock-on for aim assist, keeps cover, brings back crouching, adds shoulder swaps, marks hits as wounds, takedowns or kills, and gives Jason and Lucia Focus, a slow-motion ability that shows lethal and non-lethal weak points on people and vehicles. -
Criminal ProfileCriminal Profile is Grand Theft Auto 6's reputation system: separate for Jason and Lucia, it tracks whether they commit crimes like professionals or with needless violence, can change how the world and the story treat them, and can be ruined for good. -
Jason and Lucia's RelationshipGrand Theft Auto 6 is built around a couple, and how close Jason and Lucia become is up to the player: time together, dates, texts and holding hands build it, ignoring each other wears it down, it can stay unromantic, and it never ends their partnership in crime. -
Phone and Social MediaJason and Lucia's phones carry Grand Theft Auto 6's parody of 2020s life: a working social media feed that points to real events in the world, Snapmatic, banking, ride-hailing, texting and fitness apps, alongside more satirical TV adverts than ever. Cash, bank money and loot are kept apart. -
Wanted SystemGrand Theft Auto 6 brings back a six-star wanted level and adds heat: the police can know your face, your clothes, your car, your weapon and your partner, you can be caught on camera, police no longer show on the minimap, and changing what they know is how you shake them.
