GTA 6 gameplay features
Each record below is a gameplay system with genuine official evidence — mostly from the Extended Look — tracked with an evidence rating, its sources, and its connections to characters and places. Systems with no official evidence yet (mission structure, economy, character stats) get records the moment sources exist, not before. For the editorial overview, see the gameplay hub.
Dual Protagonists
Jason and Lucia are both playable — the Extended Look shows both in extended play, each with their own loadout.
Weapon Wheel & Pickups
Each protagonist has their own weapon wheel, and downed enemies' weapons can be scooped up mid-combat.
Slow-Motion Aiming
A Dead Eye-style slow-motion aiming ability appears in the Extended Look's combat sequences.
NPC Interaction
RDR2-style ambient interactions return: greeting and antagonizing passers-by — and petting dogs.
Wanted System
The Extended Look shows a reworked wanted system with an expanded star scale.
In-Game Map
The pause map is rebuilt around detailed satellite-style imagery, replacing the schematic road view.
In-World Social Media
Both trailers are framed through in-world viral videos and social feeds — social media exists inside Leonida.
Open-World Activities
Shown so far: circuit racing for cars and bikes, basketball, backyard wrestling, and water sports across Leonida.
Wildlife Simulation
Leonida's wildlife — birds, dogs and the signature alligators — appears in systemic contexts across all official footage.
Jason & Lucia Romance
Day-to-day couple moments are shown in official footage; press previews describe an optional romance dimension.
