Relationship & Bond
ReportedReported by press previews or reliable outlets, not stated by Rockstar· Updated Nov 14, 2026
Spend time together to strengthen Jason and Lucia's bond. Romance is optional.
- Build the bond by doing things together: working out (a gym session as a pair gives a 2-for-1 stat boost), shopping, changing your look, sightseeing, hiking and pulling off crimes.
- Romance is optional. You can keep them platonic and still finish the story.
- Romance is roleplay only. It doesn't give stat bonuses, but bond strength can change how some scenes play out.
- Small gestures: holding hands, walking hand in hand, holding doors.
- Texts matter: your partner sends casual texts. Ignoring them repeatedly hurts the relationship.
- Either character may suggest a detour to a nearby activity while you travel.
