Grand Theft Auto VI

Gameplay

Grand Theft Auto VI is a single-player, action-adventure game set within an open world that can be played from a third-person view as Jason Duval or Lucia Caminos. Players can choose to fight non-player characters (NPCs), steal vehicles, rob establishments or get into high-speed chases with the police. When roaming freely, players have several options for activities such as skydiving, wrestling, basketball, exercising, kayaking and scuba diving. Throughout the game, players will be able to gain or lose weight as both Jason and Lucia, and if the player stays awake as either character for days on end, it will become visible on their faces. The game will have a "Criminal Profile" rating system that tracks each player character's reputation based on their actions, similar to the honour system previously used in Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar has stated this system is not meant to portray Lucia and Jason as "do-gooders", but will track whether each character keeps their crimes professional or commits unnecessary violence with in-game consequences that reflect their reputation. In free roam, as Jason or Lucia, players can choose to split the two up to go and do their own activities independently or stay, hang out and do activities together. Their relationship will depend on the player's actions and, according to Rockstar, will be optional. Grand Theft Auto VI will feature a fully integrated social media app called Snapmatic, returning from Grand Theft Auto V. The app is meant to parody 2020s social media trends and apps such as TikTok and Instagram. Players will have the option to customise the appearance of Jason and Lucia, such as changing their hair, clothes and accessories.
