GTA 6 Characters and Setting: What Rockstar Has Confirmed
Rockstar has revealed its setting and two lead characters through official trailers. Here's what's actually confirmed — paraphrased from Rockstar's own materials, not invented.
Setting & characters — key facts
- Setting
- Leonida, a fictional U.S. state built around Vice City
- Lead characters
- Jason and Lucia
- Character surnames
- Reported as Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos
- Trailer footage source
- Captured in-game on PlayStation 5
The setting: Leonida and Vice City
Grand Theft Auto VI takes place in Leonida, a fictional U.S. state built around a rebuilt Vice City — Rockstar's long-running stand-in for Miami. Rockstar's own official page describes it, in the company's own words, as "the darkest side of the sunniest place in America."
The lead characters: Jason and Lucia
Rockstar has confirmed two lead characters: Jason and Lucia. Trailer material and reveal coverage frame them as a criminal couple navigating Leonida's underworld together — Grand Theft Auto's first officially confirmed playable female lead alongside a male co-lead. Full surnames (reported elsewhere as Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos) come from press coverage of the reveal rather than Rockstar's own game page directly, so they're marked as reported rather than confirmed here.
What the trailers have shown
Rockstar has released two full trailers (December 2023 and May 2025) plus a longer television-style special, Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, which premiered August 27, 2026. According to reporting on the special, its roughly 27 minutes of footage were captured entirely in-game on PlayStation 5 hardware. See our separate article on the Extended Look for a full breakdown of what it showed.
