Gameplay
Karma system
An on-screen karma meter reacts to how you treat Vice City — petting dogs included.
Direct answer
GTA 6 features a karma system shown in the August 2026 Extended Look. Jason gains positive karma for petting a dog; Lucia picks up negative karma while escaping a store heist. Rockstar has not yet detailed what karma affects.
It is the clearest sign yet that GTA 6 tracks moral behaviour in a way no previous entry did. Whether karma feeds NPC reactions, story branches, prices or the relationship system is still unconfirmed — we will only list verified effects here.
