GTA 6 May Be Set in Vice City, but It Has San Andreas’ Ambition
Rockstar reveals that San Andreas-like stats are returning in GTA 6, which tracks weight and strength based on how you eat and work out, as well as numerous other factors.
GTA 6 may be set in Vice City, but it is expected to have San Andreas' ambition. The game is rumored to track a wide array of statistics for its lead characters, including height, weight, sleep, nutrition, calories, shape, muscle, fat, and strength. Rockstar North's co-studio head, Rob Nelson, revealed that eating has a significant effect on health, leading to substantial buffs and potential weight gain.
He also confirmed the presence of gyms for workouts, which can improve muscularity and strength, and that Jason and Lucia can work out together. The character stats in GTA 6 seem to share similarities with the RPG-style attributes of San Andreas' protagonist CJ, suggesting that Lucia and Jason's attributes are also shaped by the activities they engage in.
Eating too many burgers could damage health and running speed, while lifting weights could increase muscle definition and punching power. Regular exercise at the gym is expected to be part of GTA 6, indicating a return to the simulation-driven open world seen in Red Dead Redemption 2, where the physical shape of characters is determined by their diet and physical movements.
