GTA 6 Gameplay: Features, Mechanics and Everything We Know

GTA 6 Gameplay: Features, Mechanics and Everything We Know

Here is everything we know about how GTA 6 plays, based on Rockstar’s trailers and gameplay showcase, plus reported details from previews. Confirmed and reported items are labelled.

Two protagonists

Confirmed: you play as Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval. Reported: preview coverage suggests their relationship can shift based on player choices. A GTA V-style character switch is widely expected but not detailed.

Activities (confirmed)

• Basketball, gyms and beach life
• Scuba diving, kayaking and boating
• Street racing, dirt bikes and base jumping
• Clubs and dancing
• Hunting, fishing and off-road trails in Mount Kalaga

Wanted system (reported)

Previews describe police building a profile of you from your appearance and vehicle, so changing clothes and cars matters more than in GTA V.

World simulation (reported)

• Denser crowds and more reactive pedestrians
• More wildlife, including alligators in the Grassrivers
• Localised weather and storms

Social media satire

Every trailer features Leonida residents filming viral videos, a sign that in-game social media plays a role in the world.

Not confirmed

Weapon wheel changes, customization depth, online mode, map size and mission count.
