Can you get fat or muscular in GTA 6? The gym and body system

Short answer: Yes. Jason’s and Lucia’s bodies change with how you live: eating, working out, sleeping badly and life on the run all show. Gyms, bench presses, swimming, sprinting and cycling also grow your health, a lot like GTA San Andreas. Even an all-nighter can make your character look worn out. Rockstar hasn’t shown exact stats or how fast changes happen.

Food, drink and health

Snacks and drinks (like a Blitz Berry Smoothie, Protein Shake or Logger Beer) restore health and energy. Cigarettes and cigars refill your slow-motion ability. Jason and Lucia also have different health pools. See all healing items.

Like San Andreas?

Yes, in spirit. In San Andreas, CJ could get fat or muscular and had stamina and muscle stats. GTA 5 dropped body changes. GTA 6 brings them back and adds sleep and stress, closer to Red Dead Redemption 2’s “cores”.
