GTA 6 Characters: Main Protagonists
For GTA 6, Rockstar Games decided to continue the trend of multiple playable characters that started with Grand Theft Auto V. In GTA 6, there are two main protagonists: a male called Jason Duval, and for the first time in the series, a female called Lucia Caminos.
Lucia, the female Latina protagonist, is the first playable woman in modern Rockstar history. The two GTA 6 protagonists are in a relationship, in a story influenced by the Great Depression-era bank-robbing couple Bonnie and Clyde.
In a similar way to GTA V, the game features a character-switch mechanic that you can use at any time to change between the two GTA 6 main characters (Jason and Lucia) by pressing "Down" on the D-Pad.
Both of the GTA 6 main characters have unique personal vehicles that you can find as part of our complete GTA 6 Cars Database. As the criminal story unfolds between Jason and Lucia, we will cover every major heist and plot point in our comprehensive guide to GTA 6 Missions.
