GTA 6 Brings Back A Fascinating San Andreas Feature

Wait 5 sec.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is just two months away, and although the game has suffered some "heartbreaking" leaks recently, Rockstar Games is slowly peeling back the curtain on the year's most anticipated release. Now, a new deep dive has revealed that a feature from San Andreas is returning--and it sounds better than ever.In Dazed magazine's Autumn 2026 Issue, some key figures from the Rockstar Games team opened up about what you can expect when GTA 6 hits PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19. Alongside talking about how the characters are more believable and what it's like switching between protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, the developers expressed that you will really want to watch the characters' physical appearance.GTA 6 will see the return of some "interactive systems" that change the way Jason and Lucia look. If you eat too much? Both characters will put on weight. If you exercise? Both characters will gain muscle. And if you get little to no sleep? Well, let's just say you'll need more than under-eye masks to refresh both characters' skin. Basically, anything you do in GTA 6 will affect the world of Leonida, as well as the appearance of both Jason and Lucia.This is reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. If you didn't take care of protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson by exercising regularly and reducing the amount of Cluckin' Bell he eats, then CJ would become overweight, have less stamina, hold weapons differently, and be unable to start certain missions.It's unclear if a heavier and more tired Jason and/or Lucia would be barred from beginning certain missions, but it does sound like their health and well-being will be a factor in the way they carry themselves throughout the game.We won't have to wait too much longer to find out, either, as GTA 6 arrives on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Unfortunately, there are a lot of other details floating around due to leaks. So, if you don't want anything spoiled, be careful when scrolling on the internet.
