GTA 6 gameplay & features

Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval are both playable — officially stated on Rockstar's site, and shown in extended play in the August 2026 Extended Look, each with their own weapon loadout.

The Extended Look shows Jason and Lucia carrying separate weapon wheels, with downed enemies' weapons scooped up mid-combat — a fluid pickup system new to the series.

A Dead Eye-style slow-motion aiming ability appears in the Extended Look's combat sequences — closer to Red Dead Redemption's implementation than GTA V's character abilities.

RDR2's greet/antagonize interaction system returns: the Extended Look shows conversations started with passers-by — and yes, dogs can be petted.

Shown in the Extended Look: fanboats, jet skis and canoes, organized circuit racing for cars and bikes, basketball, and backyard wrestling.

The Extended Look shows an expanded wanted-star scale and an in-game map rebuilt around detailed satellite-style imagery in place of the old schematic road view.

Both trailers are framed through in-world viral videos, livestreams and social feeds — strongly signalling social media exists inside the game world as a presentation and satire device, well beyond GTA V's Lifeinvader websites.

Rockstar confirmed Trailer 2 was captured on a standard PlayStation 5 — meaningful because the footage's density (crowds, traffic, wildlife, weather) represents in-engine targets, not CG.

Six confirmed regions spanning city, islands, swamp, gulf coast, industry and highlands — implying the traversal variety (cars, boats, aircraft, airboats) the footage shows.

Official footage repeatedly features wildlife — birds, dogs, and Leonida's signature alligators — in systemic-looking contexts rather than scripted set pieces.
