GTA 6 FAQ: characters
74 questions answered
74 questions about characters in Grand Theft Auto VI, each answered in a sentence or two and linked to the story it comes from. Every answer says what Rockstar has confirmed and what is still unknown.
Is Tommy Vercetti in GTA 6?
Rockstar has not announced him or any returning character. Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are the leads. The one Tommy nod on record is a palm-tree weapon pattern in the Vintage Vice City Pack, which outlets such as Kotaku describe as based on his shirt.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonHow old would Tommy Vercetti be today?
About 75. Grand Theft Wiki puts his birth around 1951 (the official guide says 1950 or 1951) and he is 35 in Vice City, set in 1986. He would reach 80 around 2030 or 2031. This is a thought experiment: GTA 6 is not a sequel to his story.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonWho voiced Tommy Vercetti, and is he available for GTA 6?
Ray Liotta, who died in May 2022 aged 67. Any new Tommy would need a different actor. Rockstar has said nothing about it.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonIs Lance Vance alive in GTA 6?
No character from Vice City has been announced for GTA 6. Lance dies at the end of Vice City, so he is the one name that can be ruled out.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonIs the Jackson Vercetti for Governor billboard real?
No. It comes from a fan-made image. Rockstar has not shown a Vercetti son or a Vercetti campaign.

According to Edge's preview, yes. Working out together needs a gym membership.

From: The guns Rockstar has shown in GTA 6, and what each one says about the person holding itWhere do you keep weapons in GTA 6?

From: The guns Rockstar has shown in GTA 6, and what each one says about the person holding itCan the police identify you by your weapon in GTA 6?
Edge reports weapons are one of the things police use to recognise you, and dropping a weapon makes you harder to identify.
From: The guns Rockstar has shown in GTA 6, and what each one says about the person holding itAre Jason and Lucia based on Bonnie and Clyde?
Rockstar has never said so. The comparison comes from press and fans. Rockstar's own framing is a couple who have always known the deck is stacked against them.
From: Bonnie and Clyde ended in a ditch in Louisiana. Jason and Lucia do not have to: how GTA 6's outlaw-couple story could endDoes GTA 6 have multiple endings?
Rockstar has not said. Edge reports the Criminal Profile affects how the story unfolds, and that Jason and Lucia's relationship runs on a four-point scale, but no ending has been described.

From: Everyone in Leonida is filming: what GTA 6's social feed says about Lucia, the Real Dimez and the rest of usWho is Lucia Caminos in GTA 6?
One of the two playable leads, and the first woman to lead a Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar says her father taught her to fight, that fighting for her family put her in Leonida Penitentiary, that she grew up in Liberty City, got out through a stroke of luck, and wants the good life.
From: Three weeks out: the six questions about Lucia Caminos that Rockstar still has not answeredHow does Lucia get out of prison in GTA 6?
Rockstar says only that she got out "through a stroke of luck". Trailer 1 shows her in prison; the game picks up after her release. Rockstar has not said what the luck was.
From: Three weeks out: the six questions about Lucia Caminos that Rockstar still has not answeredCan you play as Lucia on her own in GTA 6?

From: The men of Leonida, read by their clothes: Jason, Brian, Cal, Boobie, Dre'Quan, Raul and the bikersDo clothes matter in GTA 6?
Yes, in one confirmed way: the police track your outfit as one of their leads, and a full change clears it. Edge reports people also react to what you carry.
From: The men of Leonida, read by their clothes: Jason, Brian, Cal, Boobie, Dre'Quan, Raul and the bikersWho is Jason Duval?
One of GTA 6's two playable leads. Rockstar says he grew up around crooks, did a stint in the Army and came out wanting an easy life, and now works for drug runners in the Leonida Keys, chiefly the smuggler Brian Heder, who lets him live rent-free.
From: Jason Duval, properly: the Army, the Keys, the easy life he wanted, and what Rockstar has actually shown usWhat happened to Jason in the Army?
Rockstar has not said in detail. The launch trailer of October 15, 2026 indicates his service ended badly and that the way he left is part of why ordinary life in the Keys is hard for him.
From: Jason Duval, properly: the Army, the Keys, the easy life he wanted, and what Rockstar has actually shown usWho are Jason's friends in GTA 6?
Cal Hampton, a conspiracy theorist who listens to police and Coast Guard radio from his couch, and his employer and landlord Brian Heder. Trailer 2 suggests Jason and Lucia end up on Raul Bautista's bank-robbery crew.
From: Jason Duval, properly: the Army, the Keys, the easy life he wanted, and what Rockstar has actually shown usWho plays Jason Duval?
Rockstar has not credited the cast. Fans have a guess; until Rockstar says it, this article leaves it out.
From: Jason Duval, properly: the Army, the Keys, the easy life he wanted, and what Rockstar has actually shown usHow does the relationship work in GTA 6?
Edge reports that Jason and Lucia's closeness is measured on a four-point scale. Spending time together raises it, such as walking, cycling, working out and driving around.
From: GTA 6's four-point relationship scale: what Edge revealed about Jason and Lucia, and what it says about themWhat is the Criminal Profile in GTA 6?
A rating of how you commit crimes, from Professional to Irredeemable, based on how you handle intimidation, incapacitation and killing. Edge reports it shapes how the story plays out.
From: GTA 6's four-point relationship scale: what Edge revealed about Jason and Lucia, and what it says about themCan you stop being a criminal in GTA 6?
No. Edge reports you cannot give up crime, though the story is about Jason and Lucia wanting to leave that life.
From: GTA 6's four-point relationship scale: what Edge revealed about Jason and Lucia, and what it says about themDo police track your clothes in GTA 6?
Yes. Edge reports the police work from a description that includes your clothes, your vehicle and whether Jason and Lucia are together. Icons show what they know.
From: Edge confirms it: in GTA 6 your outfit is evidence, and your partner is the other half of the descriptionHow do you lose the police description in GTA 6?
Edge reports that splitting up, changing clothes or dropping your weapon makes you harder to recognise.
From: Edge confirms it: in GTA 6 your outfit is evidence, and your partner is the other half of the descriptionAre tattoos in GTA 6?
Yes. One of Edge's new screenshots shows a tattoo session with local gang members. Rockstar has not said whether tattoos are part of the police description.
From: Edge confirms it: in GTA 6 your outfit is evidence, and your partner is the other half of the descriptionDid clothes affect anything in GTA San Andreas?
Yes. Clothing made up about half of CJ's Sex Appeal stat and a small part of his Respect, and the police uniform let him walk into police buildings without drawing attention.
From: What if your outfit changes how Leonida treats you? What GTA 6 has confirmed about clothes, and what Ruby thinks comes nextWill NPCs react to your outfit in GTA 6?
Not confirmed. Rockstar has talked about more realistic characters and body changes from food, exercise and sleep, but has not described people reacting to clothes. Anything beyond the police lead is a guess.
From: What if your outfit changes how Leonida treats you? What GTA 6 has confirmed about clothes, and what Ruby thinks comes nextWhere can you buy clothes in GTA 6?
Rockstar has named Stock 305 Clothing, an Ultimate Edition exclusive. The Vintage Vice City Pack adds outfits to every pre-ordered copy. Rockstar has not listed the Standard Edition's shops.

From: The women of Leonida, read two ways: Eve on who Lucia, Bae-Luxe and Roxy are, Ruby on what they are wearingWho is Lucia Caminos?
A playable lead in GTA 6 and the first woman to headline a mainline Grand Theft Auto outright. Rockstar says her father taught her to fight, fighting for her family put her in Leonida Penitentiary, and she got out through a stroke of fortune. She spent her early years in Liberty City.
From: The women of Leonida, read two ways: Eve on who Lucia, Bae-Luxe and Roxy are, Ruby on what they are wearingWho are Real Dimez in GTA 6?

From: The women of Leonida, read two ways: Eve on who Lucia, Bae-Luxe and Roxy are, Ruby on what they are wearingWhat does Lucia wear in GTA 6?

From: The women of Leonida, read two ways: Eve on who Lucia, Bae-Luxe and Roxy are, Ruby on what they are wearingDo you have to eat in GTA 6?
Rockstar has not described a hunger meter, and nothing it has said requires Jason or Lucia to eat or drink to survive. What it has confirmed is that food affects their weight and gives temporary boosts.
From: Do you have to eat in GTA 6? What Rockstar has confirmed about food, drinks and Jason and Lucia's bodiesDoes food affect your character in GTA 6?
Yes. Rockstar developers told Dazed in August 2026 that food affects Jason and Lucia's weight, and Rob Nelson told Famitsu that food gives buffs to your meters, such as an energy drink that raises stamina.
From: Do you have to eat in GTA 6? What Rockstar has confirmed about food, drinks and Jason and Lucia's bodiesCan you buy groceries and fill the fridge in GTA 6?
No. Rob Nelson told Famitsu that Rockstar experimented with a grocery system to restock the fridge, but simplified it because it complicated the mechanics.
From: Do you have to eat in GTA 6? What Rockstar has confirmed about food, drinks and Jason and Lucia's bodiesAre Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell in GTA 6?

From: Do you have to eat in GTA 6? What Rockstar has confirmed about food, drinks and Jason and Lucia's bodiesCan you gain weight in GTA 6?
Rockstar developers told Dazed in an interview published August 26, 2026 that food affects Jason and Lucia's weight. Rockstar has not published how fast it changes, how far it goes, or whether it affects gameplay.
From: GTA 6 character customization: what Rockstar has confirmed on clothes, hair, tattoos, and Jason and Lucia's changing bodiesIs GTA 6 bringing back the San Andreas weight system?
Rockstar has not used that comparison. What its developers described is similar in spirit: food affects weight and exercise builds and tones muscle. The San Andreas link comes from the press, not from Rockstar.
From: GTA 6 character customization: what Rockstar has confirmed on clothes, hair, tattoos, and Jason and Lucia's changing bodiesCan you build muscle in GTA 6?
Yes, according to the same interview: exercise visibly builds and tones the characters' muscles. Rockstar has not said where you exercise or how long it takes.
From: GTA 6 character customization: what Rockstar has confirmed on clothes, hair, tattoos, and Jason and Lucia's changing bodiesDoes lack of sleep change how your character looks?
According to the developer interview, long stretches without sleep, such as hiding from police or a multi-day bender, change Jason's and Lucia's faces. No visuals of this have been shown.
From: GTA 6 character customization: what Rockstar has confirmed on clothes, hair, tattoos, and Jason and Lucia's changing bodiesCan you create your own character in GTA 6?
No. You play as Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Customization is clothes, hair, makeup, nails, tattoos and, per the developers, how food, exercise and sleep change their bodies.
From: GTA 6 character customization: what Rockstar has confirmed on clothes, hair, tattoos, and Jason and Lucia's changing bodiesWhich GTA 6 customization is Ultimate Edition only?
The three shops Rockstar has named, Stock 305 for clothes, Sara's Unisex Salon for hair, makeup and nails, and Electric Fang Tattoo, are Ultimate Edition exclusives. Rockstar has not said what the Standard Edition offers.
From: GTA 6 character customization: what Rockstar has confirmed on clothes, hair, tattoos, and Jason and Lucia's changing bodiesWho are the side characters in GTA 6?

From: Beyond Jason and Lucia: everyone else in GTA 6 Rockstar has introduced, and who I think matters mostWho is Cal Hampton in GTA 6?
Jason's friend. Rockstar describes him as a man who feels safest at home, listening in on Coast Guard radio with a few beers.
From: Beyond Jason and Lucia: everyone else in GTA 6 Rockstar has introduced, and who I think matters mostWho does Jason live with in GTA 6?
Jason lives rent-free in a property owned by Brian Heder, a Keys drug runner who still moves product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori. In return Jason helps with local shakedowns.
From: Beyond Jason and Lucia: everyone else in GTA 6 Rockstar has introduced, and who I think matters mostWhat is Only Raw Records?
The record label run by Boobie Ike and Dre'Quan Priest. It has signed the Real Dimez.
From: Beyond Jason and Lucia: everyone else in GTA 6 Rockstar has introduced, and who I think matters mostIs the romance in GTA 6 optional?
Yes. Rockstar North's Rob Nelson told IGN it is not something the studio wants to foist on players; if you are not into it, you can leave it alone. Jason and Lucia still get through most of the game as partners in crime either way.
From: Jason and Lucia are a couple, not a co-op: what GTA 6's romance actually is, and who is really in chargeHow do you build the relationship in GTA 6?
By spending time together. Rockstar has said the bond grows through what the two do side by side in Leonida, from jobs to trips, and that nurturing it changes how the story plays out. It never splits them into separate stories.
From: Jason and Lucia are a couple, not a co-op: what GTA 6's romance actually is, and who is really in chargeWho is in charge, Jason or Lucia?
On Rockstar's own bios, Lucia. Jason wants an easy life and sees meeting her as the best or worst thing to happen to him; Lucia has a plan and sees a life with Jason as her way out. In the Extended Look she is the one moving things forward.
From: Jason and Lucia are a couple, not a co-op: what GTA 6's romance actually is, and who is really in chargeIs Lucia the first female GTA protagonist?
She is the first woman to lead a mainline Grand Theft Auto outright. The very first GTA in 1997 let you pick from a set of characters that included women, but none of them had a story. Lucia does.
From: Lucia Caminos, properly: what Rockstar has actually shown us about the first woman to lead a GTAIs the romance with Jason required?
No. Rockstar North's Rob Nelson told IGN the romance is optional and never forced on the player, but the story keeps Jason and Lucia together as partners in crime for most of the game either way.
From: Lucia Caminos, properly: what Rockstar has actually shown us about the first woman to lead a GTAWho plays Lucia?
Rockstar has not credited the cast. Fans have a strong guess, but until Rockstar says it, it is a guess, and this article leaves it out.
From: Lucia Caminos, properly: what Rockstar has actually shown us about the first woman to lead a GTAWhat gangs are in GTA 6?
Rockstar has shown three organised groups: the Ambrosia biker gang that supplies the sugar town, the Only Raw Records circle around Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest and the Real Dimez in Vice City, and Raul Bautista's bank-robbing crew. Brian Heder's smuggling operation in the Keys is a fourth, smaller one. Rockstar has not named the biker gang.
From: GTA 6 gangs and what their clothes mean: the Ambrosia bikers, Only Raw Records, Raul's crew, and what the screenshots say to trans playersCan you join a gang in GTA 6?
Not confirmed. Jason already works for Brian Heder and Raul Bautista recruits for scores, so the story runs through these crews, but Rockstar has not described a gang system like San Andreas had.
From: GTA 6 gangs and what their clothes mean: the Ambrosia bikers, Only Raw Records, Raul's crew, and what the screenshots say to trans playersIs there a transgender character in GTA 6?
Rockstar has not announced one. The Lucia rumour from Trailer 1 was a bad-faith theory with no evidence. What is on record is a 2022 Bloomberg report that Rockstar asked GTA 6 writers to be less crude toward transgender people and other minorities, and the 2022 removal of transphobic content from GTA V's next-gen version.
From: GTA 6 gangs and what their clothes mean: the Ambrosia bikers, Only Raw Records, Raul's crew, and what the screenshots say to trans playersCan you play as a trans character in GTA 6?
The leads are fixed: Jason and Lucia. The screenshots show gendered salon options (makeup and nails for Lucia, facial hair for Jason) and nothing yet about cross-gender clothing or a shared wardrobe. That is unknown, not ruled out.
