Grand Theft Auto 6 Will Have RPG Mechanics Like Eating, Exercising, and More
Some of the first gameplay details for Grand Theft Auto 6 have been confirmed, and it seems like Rockstar is embracing a more RPG-type style this time around.
As part of a cover story for Dazed magazine , Rockstar Games revealed heaps of new information about Grand Theft Auto 6. Arguably the most notable details revolve around some of its gameplay features. In GTA 6, players will be able to eat, work out, and sleep, all of which have an impact on the game's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia. Players will have to take care of the Bonnie and Clyde-esque couple, as eating will affect their weight, working out will visibly change their build and strength, and a lack of sleep will negatively impact their features. It's unclear if a lack of sleep will impact the actual gameplay, or if they'll just look sleep-deprived, but it's a clear sign of Rockstar's attention to detail.
For many, this may remind them of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That game featured a lot of RPG mechanics that allowed CJ to fluctuate in weight and fitness. Later games largely dropped these elements, but GTA 5 featured a stat system that allowed players to enhance their stamina and strength by doing physical activities such as running, playing sports, and riding bikes.
