GTA 6 gameplay: switching, customization and activities

GTA 6 previews describe switching between Jason and Lucia, weight changes, social feeds and customization. See the details and where they were reported.

Dazed’s GTA 6 preview describes switching between Jason and Lucia during driving and shooting, using a phone as a passenger, shared jetski rides, and changes to appearance through food, exercise and time without sleep. These are reported preview details, not a hands-on review by this site.

Switching between Jason and Lucia

Dazed writer Thom Waite describes keeping the protagonists together or pursuing separate action. One example involves driving as Jason while switching to Lucia’s phone in the passenger seat; another involves alternating between driving and shooting during a pursuit.

This describes a way to divide attention between the two leads. It does not establish every restriction on switching, nor does it mean that every mission allows the same freedom.

Food, exercise and character appearance

The Dazed preview reports that eating changes the protagonists’ weight and that workouts visibly affect their physique. It also describes appearance changing after prolonged periods away from bed, including extended partying or evading police.

The preview does not provide formulas, thresholds or an optimal routine. The useful distinction is between reported visible changes and a detailed progression system that has not been specified in that article.

Phones, social feeds and NPC reactions

Dazed describes functioning social feeds, a shared jetski ride, and options for hairstyles and clothing. It also describes people reacting when a player openly carries a rifle.

That reaction should not be restated as a confirmed permanent NPC-memory system. The article does not describe a specific civilian remembering a previous encounter. Its reference to golf concerns GTA V, while fishing, hunting and camping are discussed in relation to Red Dead Redemption 2, not as a GTA VI activity list.

Vehicles, garages and customization

GamesRadar’s June 24 report on edition materials describes vehicle performance and cosmetic work, including interiors, rims and donk-style conversions. It also describes personal garages, weapon storage and a fence buying stolen goods below their value.

The same report describes a car-restoration activity involving a collector named Wyman. Some of its examples are associated with Ultimate Edition. A premium-edition example should not automatically be presented as content available to every base-game owner.

Weapons, clothing and Ultimate Edition activities

The GamesRadar report describes grip details, decorative engravings and scopes among weapon customization examples. It discusses clothing, hairstyles and tattoos for the leads, along with Jason’s facial hair and Lucia’s makeup and nail options.

Take-Two’s announcement confirms the broader Ultimate package of premium vehicles, weapons, clothing and action content. The detailed shop and activity examples above come from the secondary report, which also contains an inconsistent preorder month; the preorder date used on this site comes from Take-Two instead.
