GTA 6 has two playable main characters – Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos – plus a supporting cast of Vice City hustlers, smugglers and wannabe stars that Rockstar has introduced on its official site and in the trailers. Here is a clear guide to every confirmed GTA 6 character, who they are, how they connect to Jason and Lucia, and what is still unknown before the November 19 launch.
Who Are the Main Characters in GTA 6?
The two main characters in GTA 6 are Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, a criminal couple you can switch between in the open world. Lucia is the series’ first female lead of the modern era and has just come out of prison; Jason is a former soldier trying – and failing – to stay out of crime in the Keys. Their relationship is the centre of the story, and previews describe the campaign as chapter-based, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.
Jason Duval
Jason grew up around grifters and crooks, joined the Army to get away from that life, and ended up back in the Keys doing jobs for local drug runners. Rockstar presents him as someone who wants an easier life but keeps getting pulled back in. In previews he lives rent-free at a boatyard in exchange for doing shakedowns for his landlord, Brian Heder.
Lucia Caminos
Lucia is out of prison and determined not to go back. Her ankle monitor plays a role early in the story and helps bring her and Jason together, according to coverage of the August Extended Look collected by VICE. Rockstar’s bio describes her as a fighter who wants a better life for herself and her family.
How Jason and Lucia Work Together
The previews revealed a few things that make GTA 6’s two-lead setup different from GTA 5’s three-lead system:
- You can switch between Jason and Lucia in the open world, though not always during certain story moments.
- The partner who is not under your control can drive while you shoot, or chase targets with you.
- Their closeness is reportedly tracked on a four-point relationship scale.
- A Criminal Profile system, ranging from “Professional” to “Irredeemable”, is said to shape how the story treats them.
- If one of them is arrested, the other can stay free – and you can split up deliberately to divide police attention.
Romance between them is reportedly optional roleplay rather than something with mechanical rewards.

Characters seen but not fully introduced
Trailers, leaks and the Extended Look also showed people who have names but little official background. Coverage by PC Gamer lists, among others, Lori Heder (Brian’s wife), Lucia’s corrections counsellor, executives from a company called Megamundo who hire Jason and Lucia for security work, and Jason’s dog, Buddy. Treat these as minor or partly-known roles until the game is out.
How the Story Is Structured
Rockstar has not revealed the plot beyond the trailers, but previews shared a few useful details about how the story plays out:
- The campaign is split into chapters, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Choices range from small to big, and some have consequences that only show up later.
- Some story moments reportedly pause until you raise money – for example by robbing a gas station or jewellery store – so Jason and Lucia’s money problems are part of the gameplay, not just the cutscenes.
- Rockstar reportedly first explored a version with four lead characters before settling on two.
Who Voices Jason and Lucia?
Rockstar has not officially named the voice or motion-capture actors for GTA 6. Fans have linked certain actors to Lucia and Jason, and one actress rumoured to play Lucia recently avoided GTA 6 questions on a livestream – but none of these names are confirmed. Rockstar usually reveals cast credits only when the game launches, so expect the full cast list around November 19.
How Long Is the Story?
Rockstar has not given an official length. One preview report said Rockstar North’s co-studio head finished a playthrough in about 80 hours, but that likely includes side content and is not an official figure. Either way, plan for a long campaign – the story is built around chapters, choices and consequences that may encourage a second playthrough.
