GTA 6: 150+ new details confirmed after the Extended Look — Criminal Profile, Focus, 80-hour campaign and more
Press coverage in the 24 hours after the Netflix Extended Look surfaced over 150 additional confirmed details. Highlights: the morality system is officially named the Criminal Profile (not binary good/evil — trash disposal helps it, unnecessary violence hurts it); a new Focus mechanic reveals points of interest and helps spot police now that they no longer show on the minimap; individual symbols beneath the wanted stars show exactly what police know about you; car theft uses a "WAINK" scanning app plus slim jims or key-cloning depending on vehicle tier; non-lethal takedowns via limb shots; Rockstar North's Rob Nelson stated his own playthrough took roughly 80 hours; romance between Jason and Lucia is a pure roleplay choice with no mechanical bonus; over 600,000 individually art-directed NPC animations; and new activities including mini-golf, a zoo, and a timed gun range. Base PS5 reportedly runs at 30fps; no first-person mode has been shown for launch (both press-reported, not officially confirmed by Rockstar).

Confirmed activities include diving, jet skiing, basketball, dirt biking, weightlifting and street racing. Community easter-egg hunting spotted a returning Ammu-Nation, a Phil Cassidy-style cameo, and a Red Dead Redemption 2 reference.
