The two playable leads in GTA 6 are Lucia and Jason — confirmed by Rockstar across the December 2023 and May 2025 official trailers. They are the franchise's first dual-protagonist pair since GTA V (2013) and Lucia is the first playable woman lead in a mainline title.

The two-protagonist switching system appears to be a structural pillar rather than a gimmick. Trailer 2 emphasized mid-mission character swaps, hinting at a co-op-adjacent solo mode where the player controls whichever protagonist is best-positioned for the moment.
The relationship dynamic is explicitly framed by Rockstar as a Bonnie-and-Clyde lineage — partners-in-crime, romance-driven, and morally compromised in ways the franchise has previously kept at arm's length.
