Jason and Lucia in GTA 6 will gain weight, build muscle, and show signs of exhaustion based on their daily habits. Rockstar Games confirmed this feature in a recent Dazed interview, giving fans a nostalgic callback to classic mechanics.

Reviving the San Andreas Gameplay Mechanics

Veteran players will remember Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson gaining or losing weight and building muscle in GTA San Andreas. Rockstar is bringing this back to add depth and interactivity. Food affects Jason and Lucia’s weight, while exercise builds and tones their muscles.

Not sleeping makes the protagonists appear exhausted and impacts their stamina. Long police chases also introduce severe disadvantages if characters are worn out. Rockstar drew inspiration from Red Dead Redemption 2, where Arthur showed visible wear after long journeys.
