What happened
According to PC Gamer, citing a recent article by Edge, Grand Theft Auto 6 will allow players to measure the closeness of the game's characters, Jason and Lucia, using a four-point scale. This scale, referred to as a 'boyfriend-o-meter', can be increased by participating in activities such as taking romantic walks on the beach, working out at the gym together, and driving around. Players will be able to switch between characters, suggesting that they will need to nurture their relationship regardless of which character they are playing as.
Why it matters for GTA 6 players
The ability to cultivate a relationship in GTA 6 may have narrative consequences, although these are reportedly limited in scope. This feature has sparked discussion among fans, with some jokingly expressing concern that playing the game could be seen as 'cheating' on one's partner.
What remains unclear
The full extent to which the relationship mechanics will impact the game's story and gameplay, as well as how the 'boyfriend-o-meter' will function in practice.
