Gameplay we’ve already seen

Rockstar showed how the game plays in the Extended Look, a roughly 26-minute video premiered on Netflix on August 27, and in its Ultimate Edition announcement. The highlights:

  • ✅ Switch between Jason and Lucia at any time, like in GTA V, except during some story scenes.
  • ✅ Six-star wanted level. The police remember your clothes and your car, and the crime area stays marked.
  • ✅ Limited loadout: you carry the essentials and store the rest in your trunk, your safehouse or the weapon lockers in your garages.
  • ✅ Robberies as a couple: Jason and Lucia can rob stores together.
  • ✅ Deep customization of cars, weapons, clothing, hairstyles and tattoos. See GTA 6 customization.
  • ✅ Activities: fishing, hunting, the gym, basketball, racing, jet skis and more. Gathered in what you can do in GTA 6.
  • ✅ A fence to sell stolen goods and stash boxes to store them.
  • ✅ A classic car collection of abandoned cars you can restore, commissioned by a character called Wyman.

Every detail is in GTA 6 gameplay from the Extended Look.
