: [[Jason Duval]] and [[Lucia Caminos]] are the playable leads, with their relationship at the centre of the story.<ref name="rockstar"/><ref name="dazed"/>

; Together or apart
: Players can spend time with Jason and Lucia as a couple or explore independently as either protagonist.<ref name="dazed"/>

; Fluid character switching
: Control can move between Jason and Lucia during travel and combat, including switching between driver and passenger roles.<ref name="dazed"/><ref name="rockstar"/>

; Reactive relationship
: Player choices and behaviour can influence the couple's relationship and lead to deeper narrative consequences.<ref name="dazed"/><ref name="elpais"/>

; Dates and shared activities
: The couple can spend time together outside story missions through dates and optional shared activities.<ref name="rockstar"/><ref name="tgg"/>

== Living world ==
; A more reactive Leonida

; Dynamic pedestrians
: Pedestrians have varied reactions, conversations and spontaneous situations that are not limited to mission triggers.<ref name="elpais"/>

; Interactive surroundings
: Everyday objects—including magazines, cans, doors, bins and vehicles—can participate in interactions rather than serving only as scenery.<ref name="elpais"/>

; Working social feeds
: The in-game phone contains social-media feeds tied to people and events around Leonida.<ref name="dazed"/><ref name="tgg"/>

; Connected brands and shops
: Fashion labels, vehicle brands, products, stores and advertising are designed as parts of a coherent fictional culture.<ref name="dazed"/>

; Wildlife and varied environments
: Wildlife and activities appear across cities, coasts, wetlands, countryside, wilderness and open water.<ref name="rockstar"/><ref name="elpais"/>

== Crime and police ==
; Expanded robberies
: Store and vehicle robberies offer more choices and consequences than a single scripted approach.<ref name="rockstar"/><ref name="elpais"/><ref name="tgg"/>

; Six-star wanted level
: The traditional six-star maximum returns, with searches expanding as the wanted level rises.<ref name="elpais"/><ref name="tgg"/>

; Smarter searches
: Police can search areas and use identifying details connected to a crime, including a vehicle, clothing or appearance.<ref name="tgg"/>

; Vehicle security
: Vehicles may use alarms, trackers and different lock types. Reported countermeasures include lockpicks and phone-based hacking.<ref name="elpais"/>

; Criminal reputation
: Actions contribute to a criminal profile or reputation system rather than a simple moral alignment bar.<ref name="elpais"/><ref name="tgg"/>

; Environmental melee
: Nearby objects and parts of vehicles, such as car doors, can become part of close combat.<ref name="elpais"/>

== Player systems ==
; Health, stamina and focus
: Jason and Lucia have health, stamina and focus attributes with temporary and lasting improvements.<ref name="elpais"/><ref name="tgg"/>

; Focus ability
: Focus can slow action, assist aiming and reveal useful weak points during combat.<ref name="elpais"/><ref name="tgg"/>

; Body changes

; Optional exercise
: Gyms, workouts and physical progression are available but are not required to complete the story.<ref name="dazed"/><ref name="tgg"/>

; Layered money and loot
: Cash, banked funds and stolen goods are handled separately; carried loot can be sold through criminal contacts.<ref name="tgg"/>

; Reduced interface
