GTA 6 could bring back body customization from Red Dead 2 and San Andreas
Fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise are speculating about potential mechanics in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, with one of the most discussed possibilities being the return of character body customization. The feature, which Rockstar Games previously implemented in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, would allow players to modify their character’s physique throughout the game.
In San Andreas, the body customization system was particularly detailed, allowing players to significantly alter their protagonist CJ’s appearance by engaging in fitness activities or consuming food. Regular workouts at the gym would make the character muscular and jacked, while frequent visits to fast-food restaurants like Cluckin’ Bell would result in weight gain. This dynamic system tied character appearance directly to player behavior and gameplay choices.
Red Dead Redemption 2 also featured body customization, enabling players to create characters with varying builds ranging from scrawny to muscular. Reddit discussions have focused on whether Rockstar will revive this mechanic for GTA 6, as fans believe it adds meaningful role-playing depth to character creation and progression.
While these remain unconfirmed rumors from fan speculation rather than official announcements, the community continues to engage with the discussion as fans await new official footage from Rockstar Games.
