GTA 6's six franchise-first features: female lead, dual gameplay, and more

GTA 6 will introduce six franchise-first features, including Lucia as the first female protagonist, when it launches November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game adds a dual-protagonist system with Lucia and Jason, a short-video social network, a non-lethal knockout mechanic, a Criminal Profile reputation system, and mandatory vehicle refueling. These features mark significant departures from previous titles, with the Criminal Profile adapting Red Dead Redemption 2's honor system and the fuel mechanic addressing a long-standing fan request.
