GTA 6 Money and Economy: How the Three Pools Work

GTA 6 splits money into bank balance, carried cash and duffel loot. Cash only becomes safe at an ATM, loot only becomes cash at a fence, and story missions now pause until you hit set cash goals. None of it converts to real money.

GTA 6 Character Switching: How Jason and Lucia Swap

GTA 6 Movement and Controls: Weight by Design

GTA 6 rebuilds on-foot movement around motion matching: sprint sits on L3, crouch works without cover, and every stride carries deliberate weight by design. First person was absent from preview builds, and Rockstar has not confirmed it.

GTA 6 Stats, Health and Fitness: How Your Body Works
