Sign in to your TheGamer account Dazed has just shared the world’s first Grand Theft Auto 6 preview, which confirms once and for all that Jason and Lucia can gain and lose weight and muscle. As wild as the last week has been for GTA 6 fans thanks to Cyberleek’s frankly ridiculous number of detailed leaks, I don’t think anyone could say it was exciting. After so many years of waiting for GTA 6, having a hacker group that’s pushing cryptocurrency be the first to share footage of the game gave the whole situatuon a bit of a darker edge. Tomorrow, though, that finally changes for good with the official Extended Look at GTA 6. As it turns out, though, that’s not all, as multiple outlets are going to be sharing previews of the game alongside the gameplay reveal. One outlet, Dazed, has just shared its gameplay preview a little earlier than the rest, and there’s a lot to gauge from it. Jason And Lucia Can Gain Weight, Muscle, And Even Look Haggard In GTA 6 Arthur Morgan’s Impact Can Be Felt As pointed out by ResetEra user nicoreese, Dazed just shared their detailed preview of Grand Theft Auto 6. While I initially thought this might be a timezone mistake that would make any journalist's stomach turn, the “exclusive deep dive” suggests that Dazed has the rights to GTA 6’s first proper preview. There’s a frankly ridiculous amount of detail to gleam from the preview, but one of the most interesting is the first confirmation that Jason and Luca’s bodies will be affected by the player’s choices. Dazed says that food affects Jason and Lucia’s weight, while “exercising visibly builds and tones their muscles”, just like in San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm warning you now, don't expect the internet to be normal about this at all. It seems that Rockstar is taking the system one step further, though, as Dazed mentions that “spending a long time away from your bed” will affect Jason and Lucia’s features, implying that they’ll look run-down if you’re not looking after them. It doesn’t seem as invasively survival game-esque as in RDR2, but it’s certainly cool to see.
