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 Phone Apps: Every Confirmed App Explained

GTA 6 turns the phone into a physical object Jason and Lucia hold, with confirmed apps for banking, taxis, vehicle recovery, texting, car scanning, fitness and a Snapmatic you can browse but never post to, because fugitives leave no footprint.

GTA 6 HUD and Minimap: How the New Map Works

Rockstar is trying a default HUD that hides itself: tap D-pad down and cash, stat bars and a 3D minimap appear, then fade. Classic and compass modes exist, interiors render blue on the map, and police never appear on the minimap.

GTA 6 Character Switching: How Jason and Lucia Swap

GTA 6 lets you switch between Jason and Lucia almost anywhere: instantly when together, within seconds when apart. The wheel offers solo or duo play, the AI partner genuinely helps, and splitting up during chases sheds police attention.

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

GTA 6 tracks health, stamina and focus, each raised permanently through training and boosted temporarily through food and drink. The gym runs on button-timed reps, weight and muscle change your body visibly, and the whole system stays optional until a hard mission exposes neglect.

GTA 6 Safehouses and Garages: Living on the Run

You cannot buy safehouses in GTA 6. Jason and Lucia are fugitives, so homes arrive through the story while garages become the purchase that matters, cheap storage where a stolen car waits until you can afford to register it.

GTA 6 Vehicle Theft and Fences: From Scan to Sale

GTA 6 tiers car theft by value. Cheap cars hotwire, expensive ones need a key cloner, and trackers ping police if you slow down. Fences buy what you steal, strip trackers and unlock better tools as you work for them.
