GTA 6 full interview: Rob Nelson on the criminal profile, relationship and car theft systems

IGN published its full interview with Rockstar North head of development Rob Nelson, based on a July visit where GTA 6 was played in front of press for the first time. Nelson described a criminal profile system separate from a relationship system, where Jason and Lucia's bond grows through shared activities such as robberies, pool, mini golf and kayaking, and can suffer if the player ignores their texts. Car theft now requires tools like a key cloner or slim-jim, a phone scanner shows locks, alarms, trackers and resale value, and the wanted system only triggers when a crime is witnessed or an alarm is raised. He also said safehouses are closer to Red Dead Redemption 2 camps in interactivity and that the team has doubled in size to support the world's density.
