Grand Theft Auto 6 brings several new mechanics to the franchise, including dual protagonists, a unique wanted system, an honor profile, changes to how cash is handled, and much more. With so many new features, GTA 6 has introduced new icons to help players keep track of them. So, here is a rundown of all GTA 6 UI and HUD icons to help you understand the meaning of every new symbol you encounter in the game.
Meaning of All GTA 6 Icons
GTA 6 releases on November 19, 2026, but we already got a detailed look at the gameplay from multiple sources. Though it did not reveal every small or new mechanic Rockstar has baked into the game, it revealed a lot for us to go by.
Check out the complete list of symbols and icons you will see on the GTA 6 UI and HUD, along with their respective explanations.
| GTA 6 Icons | Description |
|---|---|
 BUCKME | Shows cash stored inside the BUCKME bank account. Funds in the bank account are safe. |
 Cash Wallet | Shows cash you have on you in person, and it can be up to $20,000. This money is at risk if you are on an active mission and can be lost if you get arrested or die in action. |
 Health | GTA 6 health icon, paired with the health bar. |
 Stamina | Affects your strength, and it’s paired with the stamina bar. Stamina is depleted when you sprint, cycle, or perform other physical GTA 6 activities. |
 Oxygen | Oxygen tank capacity in GTA 6, paired with the oxygen bar. It only appears when you go underwater with a scuba tank. Decreases based on how long you stay submerged. |
 Focus | This focus icon is paired with the focus bar in GTA 6. It offers heightened awareness and precision, giving you the ability to scan surroundings, find weak points, and slow down time to shoot enemies. |
 Relationship Status | Represents the relationship status between Jason and Lucia. |
 Good Deeds | Notifies when committing a good deed, like petting a dog. Affects your GTA 6 Criminal Profile positively. |
 Neutral Deed | Criminal Profile is not yet updated or is in unknown status. Also, possibly notifies when committing a neutral act that doesn’t affect the Criminal Profile. |
 Violent Deed | Notifies when committing a violent act or being evil, for the Violent Criminal Profile state. |
 Psycho Deed | Notifies when acting like a Psycho, like punching a random person for no reason, and adds negatively to the Criminal Profile. |
 Wanted Star Level | GTA 6 Wanted System star. The more stars you have, the higher the wanted level. |
 CCTV Profiling | The player’s criminal act has been seen or recorded by a surveillance camera. |
 Weapon Profiling | The player’s GTA 6 weapon used in an act of crime has been identified. |
 Couple Profiling | The police know that a couple is responsible for the crime. Read about the dual protagonists in GTA 6 and their Bonnie-and-Clyde dynamics here. |
 Appearance Marker | The police know when either Jason or Lucia is responsible for the crime. |
 Clothing Profiling | The player’s clothing worn during an act of crime has been identified. |
 Vehicle Profiling | The player’s GTA 6 vehicle used during an act of crime has been identified. |
Buckme and Cash Wallet
In GTA 6, cash is separated into multiple separate channels. First is the Buckme account, which is a parody of peer-to-peer payment services like Venmo or Cash App. The other is the wallet money, which designates how much cash Jason and Lucia have on them. Finally, GTA 6 will also allow players to deposit and store money in bank accounts.
The Buckme and Wallet money UI only appears after opening the weapon wheel. The icons appear at the top right corner, just below the Wanted and criminal profile icons. Players can clearly see their Buckme and wallet balance this way.
Health, Stamina, Focus
The Health, Stamina, and Focus icons appear at the top left corner of the screen. The heart symbol means health, lightning means stamina, and the eye means focus. The health bar is pretty self-explanatory. When it comes to Stamina, it depletes when a player is sprinting or doing any other physical activity.
Now, the Focus ability in GTA 6 is new, and the bar only appears when focusing on enemies while wielding a gun, or when using Focus points to look for objectives. Jason uses the Focus bar to slow time and find enemy weak points to shoot at, similar to Dead Eye in Red Dead Redemption 2.
All three bars are clearly visible when opening the weapon wheel. However, they remain invisible during normal gameplay and only appear when their value changes.
Oxygen
Oxygen is another meter that only appears when the character is underwater. This bar indicates the amount of oxygen remaining in the character’s lungs, as well as the oxygen tank in use. The meter appears at the top-left corner of the screen.
Relationship Status
To learn about the current relationship status between Jason and Lucia, players toggle the character switch button and check the symbol between the characters. Jason and Lucia’s relationship is complicated, and the game allows players to decide whether they want to get romantically involved. This icon represents their relationship status, letting players track it better.
Good, Neutral, Violent, and Psycho Deeds
Every action Jason and Lucia take in GTA 6 has a repercussion. Every action is counted as a deed, and they heavily influence the character’s overall criminal profile in GTA 6. The deeds have five states: Good, Neutral, Violent, Psycho, and Irredeemable. It’s also worth noting that Jason and Lucia’s criminal profiles are separate and aren’t shared.
The Good deeds are actions that are helpful to society or simply petting a dog. Neutral actions are neither good nor bad and don’t significantly affect the criminal profile. The Violent deed appears when you are being overly aggressive, like punching a random person on the street. Finally, Psycho is a deed that only appears for mindless killing or destruction.
If you keep causing unnecessary mayhem after reaching Psycho, you’ll eventually enter the Irredeemable state, which is essentially the point of no return for your criminal profile in GTA 6. The game will permanently lock you in that state.
To make your Good deeds count again, you’ll have to begin a new GTA 6 playthrough. Rockstar has confirmed that your criminal profile will affect Jason and Lucia’s story, so act accordingly.
Wanted Star Level
Grand Theft Auto games have always had the Wanted star system to tell how much trouble the players are in with the local authorities. GTA 6 has brought back the 6-star wanted level, differing from the 5-star system in GTA 5. In the GTA 6 wanted system, the icon still appears at the top-right corner of the screen.
The Wanted stars only appear when a crime has been committed by the player. Otherwise, the icons remain invisible in the game.
GTA 6 Criminal Profiling Icons
The Criminal Profile is a new system in GTA 6. It is a system that recognizes the different elements of Jason and Lucia when they are committing a crime, and continues to profile them until they get rid of it.
For example, if a crime has been recorded on CCTV, it will show the camera profiling icon. Similarly, if both Jason and Lucia are spotted committing a crime, the couple profile icon will also appear. This is also true for clothing, cars, and the guns the players use. To remove these icons, players will have to get rid of the profile source.
Here is another example: if a car is profiled for a crime, players can destroy the car or use another to remove the profiling. Similarly, changing clothes or hairstyles will also remove personal identifiers related to criminal profiling.
These are most of the GTA 6 UI and HUD icons revealed so far. All these icons are confirmed in GTA, and we will update this guide as more information comes out. Do you think we missed out on any icons? Let us know in the comments section below.
