  Human
• Mission-Specific Allies (Temporary): During certain missions or heists, Lucia and Jason will likely recruit or work alongside other AI-controlled characters with specific skills (e.g., hacker, gunman, driver), similar to heist crew members in GTA V. Their involvement would be scripted and temporary.
  Human

• Ikran (Mountain Banshee): The player's primary aerial mount after bonding with one. Essential for traversing Pandora's vast vertical landscapes. Can be directed to attack RDA aircraft or ground targets, perform barrel rolls, and use a speed boost. Customizable with gear and cosmetic patterns. Its stamina and health can be improved through skills and food.
  Leonopteryxen (Banshee)
• Direhorse (Pa'li): A swift six-legged ground mount, useful for quickly navigating flatter terrains like the Upper Plains. Can be called by the player. Its stamina can be improved. Less combat-focused than the Ikran but vital for land travel.
  Equidirus (Direhorse)
• Temporary Animal Allies (Pacified Wildlife): While not persistent companions, the player, using their Na'vi connection, can sometimes pacify or briefly guide certain wildlife. This is less about direct combat command and more about leveraging the environment or creating distractions.

Each gear piece provides health bonuses and specific perks (e.g., increased damage with bows, better stealth, resistance to elements, more resources from gathering). Gear has quality tiers and can be enhanced with mods (crafted or found). Different Na'vi clans offer unique gear designs and associated perks, encouraging players to earn Favor with them.

• Na'vi Gear & Outfits: Players can equip various pieces of Na'vi clothing for the head, chest, waist, arms, and legs. These are crafted from materials found on Pandora (animal hides, plant fibers, bones) and scavenged RDA tech. Gear provides stat bonuses (health) and perks. Appearance varies significantly based on the clan design (Aranahe, Zeswa, Kame'tire) and quality. Players can also apply different body paints, hairstyles, and adornments for further cosmetic customization.
• Ikran & Direhorse Gear: Players can customize their Ikran and Direhorse with different saddles, decorative patterns, and streamers, which are mostly cosmetic but some might offer minor gameplay benefits or are tied to clan favor.

Player progression involves earning Skill Points by completing quests and activities, which are spent across five skill trees: Survivor (health, stealth), Warrior (Na'vi weapon proficiency), Hunter (RDA weapon proficiency, gathering), Maker (crafting, cooking), and Rider (Ikran and Direhorse abilities). Ancestor Skills are powerful, unique abilities learned by connecting with Sarentu ancestors at specific locations. Gear (clothing, weapons) is crafted using resources gathered from Pandora's flora, fauna, and RDA tech, and can be improved with mods and designs from different Na'vi clans. Na'vi Favor with clans unlocks better gear and recipes.

Powered by a new version of the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), GTA VI aims for a new benchmark in visual fidelity for open-world games. Features expected include significantly improved graphics, realistic lighting, advanced weather systems, real-time water physics, more detailed character models and animations, increased NPC density and AI sophistication, and enhanced environmental detail and destructibility. Ray tracing support is highly anticipated on consoles and PC.

Powered by the latest iteration of the Snowdrop Engine, the game delivers stunning, highly detailed visuals of Pandora. It features dense, bioluminescent environments, realistic weather systems, incredibly detailed character and creature models, and advanced lighting and particle effects. Supports ray-traced global illumination, reflections, and shadows on PC and current-gen consoles for enhanced realism.

A diverse range of licensed music across multiple radio stations, reflecting the cultural melting pot of Vice City/Leonida and contemporary sounds. Original score for missions and dynamic moments.

Co-pilot mode allows two controllers to act as one.

• Official PC system requirements for 'Grand Theft Auto VI' have NOT been released by Rockstar Games. The PC version is expected to release AFTER the console versions (PS5, Xbox Series X/S - May 26, 2026). The following specifications are **speculative/expected** based on industry analysis, rumored engine capabilities (RAGE 9), and the demanding nature of previous Rockstar titles. These are subject to change significantly upon official announcement. An NVMe SSD will almost certainly be required for the PC version.
• Laptop Performance Note: When official PC requirements are released, playing GTA VI on a laptop will demand a very high-end gaming laptop from the latest generations. Laptop GPUs and CPUs perform differently than their desktop counterparts due to power (TGP) and thermal constraints. **The estimations below are highly speculative and for a future PC release.** Users should always consult specific laptop model reviews and official game requirements once available.
