GTA 6 features two playable protagonists: Jason Duval, a military veteran working for traffickers in the Leonida Keys, and Lucia Caminos, recently released from Leonida Penitentiary and determined to take control of her life.

Yes, both major and minor choices. Some small decisions add up before producing significant consequences, while others have immediate effects.

Yes. Rockstar has deliberately blurred the line between the open world and main missions, and not every event is marked with an icon on the map.

Yes. Before settling on Jason and Lucia, the developers considered building GTA 6 around four protagonists.

Source not linked yet. Treat this answer as information to cross-check, not an official confirmation.

No. Rockstar says that a strong romantic relationship offers no gameplay advantage: it is a role-playing choice. Their level of closeness can, however, influence how their story develops.

Ignoring Jason or Lucia's messages, whether a reminder to lock the house or an “I'm going to bed”, can negatively affect the relationship between the two characters.

They are closer to Red Dead Redemption 2's camps than the apartments in older GTA games: lively and interactive, with other characters coming and going. Jason and Lucia can share the same safehouse.

Source not linked yet. Treat this answer as information to cross-check, not an official confirmation.

Yes, you can trim or shave your hair and beard directly at the safehouse. New hairstyles, however, still require a visit to a salon or barber.

Rockstar introduces Vice City and the state of Leonida. The official page reviewed does not provide an area measurement or a measured comparison with GTA 5. Community estimates should be distinguished from an official measurement.

Yes, through a taxi app called Ryde Me. Sharing the ride with another passenger can lead to real conversations during the journey.

It is no longer just an interface icon: when the character takes it out of their pocket, the camera moves closer to their hand and the device physically exists within the scene.

Snapmatic is present, but Jason and Lucia cannot post their own photos: as wanted criminals, they avoid leaving a digital trail.

Source not linked yet. Treat this answer as information to cross-check, not an official confirmation.

With your weapon holstered, targeting a character brings up dialogue options: greet them, provoke them, calm a situation or escalate an exchange. It is an improved version of the Red Dead Redemption 2 system.

Yes, by staying nearby. But NPCs notice when you have been spying on or following them for too long, and may confront you.

A crime must have been witnessed by an NPC or triggered an alarm. The police then receive detailed information and head to the area, which remains marked on the map for a while.

Yes. After GTA 5's five-star maximum, GTA 6 restores the six-star wanted level, with the most chaotic pursuits at the highest level.

The police know your appearance and clothing. Changing your hairstyle removes the physical identification, but you need to change your entire outfit: glasses or a hat alone are not enough.

Source not linked yet. Treat this answer as information to cross-check, not an official confirmation.

It is the equivalent of Red Dead Redemption 2's honour system, without a clear divide between good and evil. Your habits influence how the world reacts and can affect how the story develops.

Source not linked yet. Treat this answer as information to cross-check, not an official confirmation.

Not necessarily. Rockstar says that crimes associated with certain missions, heists or situations where violence is required do not always change your Criminal Profile.
