15 days to GTA 6: the Criminal Profile remembers how you commit crimes, and it does not reset
Fifteen days out. Today's confirmed fact: the Criminal Profile, a rating of how you commit crimes that stays put after the wanted stars fade. What Rockstar showed, what Edge added, and what nobody knows yet.
Fifteen days. Today: the number that keeps score on you.
Confirmed
The Extended Look showed a rating GTA has never had. Wanted stars measure how much the police want you right now. The Criminal Profile tracks how you commit crimes, and unlike the stars it does not reset. Lose the police and the stars fade. The profile stays where you left it.
The closest comparison is Red Dead Redemption 2's honor meter. In the showcase, petting a dog registered as a positive, and a devil icon flashed during a particularly violent act.
Reported
Edge says the profile runs from Professional to Irredeemable, reflects how you handle intimidation, incapacitation and killing, and affects how the story unfolds.
Unknown
Whether it touches prices, endings or what jobs you are offered. Whether Jason and Lucia keep separate profiles. Anything you read claiming either is a guess.
Our guess
Red Dead's honor changed dialogue and the ending, and nobody felt cheated by that. If GTA 6 does something similar, the clean-heist player and the chaos player will finish two slightly different games. That would be new for the series.

Quick answers
What is the Criminal Profile in GTA 6?
A persistent rating of how you commit crimes, clean or needlessly brutal. Unlike the wanted stars, it does not reset when you lose the police.
Does the Criminal Profile change the ending of GTA 6?
Rockstar has not said. Edge reports that it affects how the story unfolds, but Rockstar has only shown the rating moving.
