The Viral Mechanic — How It Works
GTA VI introduces a revolutionary NPC Social Media System. Bystander NPCs carry smartphones and will film your activities — from spectacular MMA knockouts to embarrassing golf shanks. These clips appear on the in-game social media platform, complete with likes, views, and comments. Your viral score affects NPC recognition, business opportunities, and even law enforcement attention.
