According to Edge’s feature as relayed by Xboxygen, Jason and Lucia get a Red Dead Redemption 2-style criminal profile that shapes the story.

A reputation system in GTA? According to Xboxygen, which sums up Edge’s 90-minute visit to Rockstar North, GTA 6 will include a “Criminal Profile” taken straight from Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar has not issued a statement on it: everything comes from the magazine.
Jason and Lucia’s behaviour sits on a scale from “Professional” to “Irredeemable”, shown with angel and devil icons. A careful player who takes enemies down without killing, or threatens them before turning violent, moves one way. Someone who kills every time builds a much more violent profile.
Per Xboxygen it is not cosmetic: Rockstar confirms the profile changes how the story unfolds. {link("https://x.com/vicecentralFR/status/2115704722799603781","Vice Central")} noted one more detail: the bond between the two leads has its own gauge with four levels, based partly on time spent together.
Rockstar says RDR2 shaped GTA 6’s ambitions from 2015, while the western was still in development. The two projects ran side by side for years, with ideas on witnesses, NPCs and the consequences of crime moving across. The Bonnie & Clyde duo story was only locked in after RDR2 shipped.

The thresholds, the concrete rewards or penalties and how much of the story branches are not detailed, nor is it clear whether the profile is always visible on screen. More coverage in our journal.
Until now the series punished mostly through wanted stars. A moral verdict that follows the player and rewrites the story would make every heist a narrative choice. We will see on November 19 whether Rockstar delivers.
