Discover a complete guide to all the latest GTA 6 character information on this page, featuring every leak about GTA 6 protagonists revealed so far.
We’ll keep this page updated with an accurate and detailed list of all confirmed GTA 6 characters, including protagonists, antagonists, companions, strangers, and more
MAIN CHARACTERS
Rockstar Games continues the trend of multiple playable characters in GTA 6, a feature first introduced in Grand Theft Auto V. This time, the game will feature two main protagonists: Jason and Lucia. Jason is male, while Lucia is a Latina woman, marking the first time in modern Rockstar history that a female character is playable. Although their last names are still unknown, leaked clips suggest that the two characters are in a relationship, drawing inspiration from the infamous bank-robbing duo Bonnie and Clyde.
GTA 6 will also bring back the character switch mechanic, allowing players to seamlessly switch between Jason and Lucia at any time by pressing “Down” on the D-Pad.
OTHER CONFIRMED CHARACTERS
There may be two additional playable characters in GTA 6, bringing the total to four, although they were not shown in the leaked footage. Their names, Billy and Kai, were listed in a leaked Developer Menu. It’s possible these characters were originally planned but later cut, reducing the number of protagonists from four to two.
Other notable character names mentioned in the GTA 6 leaks include:
- Billy
- Boobie
- Chester (Chester’s Music)
- Dale (Dale’s Shopwell)
- Danny
- Dre (Nightclub Manager)
- Kai
- Iris (Iris Laundry)
- RB Shaw
- Sam
- Shanese
- Tit (Nightclub DJ)

Additionally, Jay Norris from GTA V is referenced, confirming that GTA 6 takes place in the same HD universe as GTA IV and V.
PREVIOUS CHARACTERS LEAKS
Below is a collection of previously reported rumors regarding GTA 6 characters and protagonists.
These rumors were accompanied by a lot of additional information beyond just the characters, which we’ll briefly discuss below.
It’s important to note that the original links to these sources are no longer functional. A 2019 Reddit post by JackOLantern1982 has since been deleted, and the Fireden link is currently unavailable.
Fortunately, we’ve gathered a complete summary of all the key details from these sources.
GTA 6: FIRST FEMALE PROTAGONIST
Early rumors suggest that GTA 6 could introduce a female lead character for the first time in the series.
Regarding the possibility of a female protagonist in GTA 6, Rockstar has previously stated that when designing characters, they don’t follow a checklist, but instead aim for a lineup that comes together organically.
With the potential for four playable characters in GTA 6, there’s a strong chance that at least one will be a female protagonist. Rockstar enjoyed the character-switching system in GTA 5, and returning to a single protagonist could feel limiting, especially given the dynamic opportunities that multiple characters offer.
Insider Tom Henderson has also mentioned that GTA 6 will feature multiple characters, including a woman. This female character is expected to be the “brains” of the group, handling tasks related to technology and hacking. In the game’s setting, this character might be involved in manipulating markets like cryptocurrency, making her an essential part of the crew.
4CHAN THREADS LEAKS
Before the major GTA 6 map leak, two 4Chan threads discussed various GTA 6 map locations—such as White Water, Daytona Beach, and the Florida Keys—as well as in-game activities like visiting a plastic surgeon. These details align with the later GTA 6 map leak and offer insights into the game’s storyline and setting.
The threads also speculated about GTA 6‘s modern-day setting, mentioning that the game will feature characters modeled after real-life figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, whom the protagonists will work for. Players’ choices will impact the environment based on which character they side with.
According to these users, there’s an ongoing feud between these Musk and Bezos-like characters over control of a government-owned launchpad or space station, which is key to their space companies. While this might seem far-fetched, the rest of the rumor feels more plausible.
The threads also suggested that at the start of the game, players will choose between a male character starting in a South American city and a female character starting in a Florida-based city, likely Vice City. After completing several missions, these characters will cross paths, allowing the player to switch between them and explore the entire map.
PROJECT AMERICAS LEAKS
Here’s a summary of the now-deleted Reddit post, which revealed that GTA VI was initially codenamed “Project Americas.”
According to the post, the setting of Project Americas aligns with rumors of the game featuring both North and South American locations. GTA 6 would be set primarily in Vice City and a second location based on Rio de Janeiro. The game has allegedly been in development since 2012 but picked up momentum in 2015 after Red Dead Redemption 2 became Rockstar’s main focus.
In addition to these two major locations, the game would also feature some linear missions in Liberty City, though players wouldn’t be able to freely explore it—similar to how GTA V had missions set in Ludendorff.
The game would take place in the 1970s and 1980s, featuring a male protagonist named Ricardo. He starts at the bottom of a drug cartel, working his way up by smuggling cocaine between Vice City and the South American city. One of Ricardo’s employers would be the Madrazo family, including a young Martin Madrazo and his father, who was a notorious drug lord at the time. Another character named Kacey was also mentioned.
The post also mentioned that Rockstar drew inspiration from the Netflix show *Narcos*, aiming to create a detailed narrative with extensive dialogue, much like a TV series, along with a rich soundtrack.
A time-skip was also suggested, allowing the game to transition between the 70s and 80s, affecting everything from cars and buildings to the soundtrack and economy. Rockstar reportedly wanted to develop a complex, living economy for this installment, where things like car prices would evolve over time.
Additionally, GTA 6 would introduce a drug empire-building mechanic, similar to features seen in Vice City Stories or GTA Online, but on a much larger scale.
One key gameplay change would involve limiting the number of weapons players could carry. Instead of switching between a large arsenal at any time, players would only be able to carry what they could realistically hold—such as a primary rifle and a secondary pistol—adding a layer of realism to the game.
FIREDEN LEAKS
The rumors that were seen on Fireden stated that the GTA 6 setting would actually be in Liberty City.
While we can almost certainly cross out the idea that Liberty City would be the main focus of the game, there are 2 other claims that make more sense with what we know so far.
One of these claims is that GTA VI would feature 4 main characters – 2 of which would be gang members while the other 2 would be police officers. The other claim also lines up nicely with the possible time-skip idea.
Namely, there would be a split in the storyline.
The criminals’ side of the game would be sandbox-styled and based on building a drug empire. On the other side, when playing as the police, the game would turn to a more action-oriented style, with some elements of LA Noire.
