GTA 6 Core Mechanics: What's Been Shown

A breakdown of gameplay mechanics actually visible in official trailers, separated clearly from anything still unconfirmed.

Mechanics shown in trailers

Official trailer footage shows robbery and heist-style sequences, vehicle chases, and open-world traversal across Vice City and Leonida. These are things directly visible on screen in Rockstar's own marketing, not inferred.

Dual-protagonist gameplay

With Jason and Lucia confirmed as playable leads, some form of character-switching mechanic -- similar to GTA 5's three-protagonist system -- is a reasonable expectation, though Rockstar hasn't detailed exactly how or when switching happens.

What hasn't been shown

Rockstar has not detailed specific mission structures, a skill or leveling system, or combat mechanics beyond what's visible in trailer footage. Anything beyond what's described above should be treated as unconfirmed until Rockstar states it directly.
