Is This Confirmed for GTA 6?

Rockstar has not confirmed weight & body mechanics for GTA 6. Below is the verifiable franchise history plus clearly-labelled leaks or expectation — not fact.

In the GTA Series

San Andreas (2004) is the standout: CJ's body changed with diet and exercise — eating too much added fat, the gym built muscle, and stats like stamina and respect were affected. It remains the series' deepest body-mechanics system.

GTA IV and GTA V dropped persistent body-weight simulation; characters had fixed builds, though stamina and other stats still existed.

Reasonable Expectation

Fans often hope GTA 6 revives San Andreas-style body mechanics, but Rockstar has not confirmed any weight, fitness, or body-customisation simulation for GTA 6.

What Was Removed

Removed invented GTA 6 weight stats, gym mechanics, food effects and 'community reception' stated as fact. Kept the verifiable San Andreas history and a clearly labelled expectation.
