17 days to GTA 6: switching between Jason and Lucia is instant when they are together
Seventeen days out. Today's confirmed fact: how GTA 6 swaps between its two leads. Instant when Jason and Lucia are together, a few seconds when they are apart, and some jobs are for one of them only.
Seventeen days. Today: how you move between the two people you play.
Confirmed
GTA V had three leads and a switch wheel with a long camera swoop between them. GTA 6 has two, and the Extended Look showed the switch working in two ways.
- Together: the swap is instant. In one clip it goes from driver to passenger in the middle of a chase.
- Apart: it takes a few seconds while the camera travels to the other one. One cut goes from Lucia base-jumping to Jason on the couch.
- Some jobs are for one character only.
The pair also matters to the police. "Partner" is one of the four leads the police track, so splitting Jason and Lucia up is a way to shake them. More on that on Tuesday.
Unknown
Rockstar has not said whether each lead has separate stats, wardrobes or safehouses. See Character switching.
Our guess
An instant swap mid-chase is a bigger change than it sounds. In GTA V, switching was a way out of a scene. Here it looks like a way to play the same scene from two seats, which suits a game sold as a two-hander rather than three separate stories.
Background on both leads: who are Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Tomorrow: the four things the police know about you.
Quick answers
Can you switch between Jason and Lucia in GTA 6?
Yes. The Extended Look showed it: instantly when they are together, after a short transition of a few seconds when they are apart. Some jobs are for one character only.
Is GTA 6 co-op?
No. Jason and Lucia are both played by you in single-player. Rockstar has not announced co-op.
