GTA 6 Characters mentioned in Dazed Magazine's article:
• Jason Duval, ex-military drug runner
• Lucia Caminos, fighter fresh out of prison
• Brian Heder, old-school drug runner
• Cal Hampton, conspiracy-obsessed associate
• Raul Bautista, suave bank robber
• Boobie Ike, Vice City legend who oversees the Jack of Hearts strip club and a music studio
• Dre’Quan Priest, young and opportunistic
• Real Dimez, rising stars (Roxy & Bae-Luxe)
All official GTA 6 details that just dropped in Dazed Magazine:
• Work on GTA 6 started around the same time GTA V came out 13 years ago
• The game is set in Leonida, based on Florida, with Vice City based on Miami
• Rockstar North’s Rob Nelson says there is “unprecedented pressure,” but no outside pressure compares to the pressure the team puts on itself
• GTA 6 sits between GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. Weapons and supercars are still there, but the world is more grounded and reactive
• You can no longer move through the city like a god. Actions have consequences. Walk down the street with a rifle and the city reacts
• NPCs act less like NPCs
• You play as Jason Duval, an ex-military drug runner, and Lucia Caminos, a fighter fresh out of prison
• You can play them as a couple or go off independently
• First playable couple in a GTA game
• On the way to a job you can drive as Jason or swap to Lucia in the passenger seat and scroll the in-game phone
• The phone has working social media feeds
• In a chase you can take the wheel one moment, then shoot from the passenger window the next
• Afterward you can ride a jetski across Leonida with your arms around your partner while dolphins leap
• Senior VP of narrative Rupert Humphries says it is staged as “a Bonnie and Clyde-type narrative”
• Cutscenes pay close attention to bodies, including a hand on a ribcage and hips swinging on a dancefloor
• Choices can have deeper repercussions than previous GTA games or honour systems
• Lucia is the first fully fleshed-out female lead in a mainline GTA
• Nelson says the characters are not empty avatars. “Their story becomes a journey you share with them.”
• Rockstar wants as much self-expression as possible without losing the essence of the characters
• Food affects Jason and Lucia’s weight
• Exercise visibly builds and tones their muscles
• Stay away from bed too long, go on the run, or go on a multi-day bender and their features change. Habits and sins show on their faces and bodies
• Writer Michael Wiafe says the world was built with “an open mind, a genuine appreciation and a deep curiosity”
• Rockstar has visited Miami and the surrounding areas for a decade and has a dedicated research team in the city
• The team meets ex-criminals, law enforcement, club promoters, gun dealers, and other people in the state
• Supporting cast includes old-school drug runner Brian Heder, conspiracy-obsessed associate Cal Hampton, bank robber Raul Bautista, Boobie Ike (Jack of Hearts strip club and a music studio), Dre’Quan Priest, and Real Dimez
• Real Dimez’s rise can be followed through in-game viral social media posts
• The team looked at Miami bass, Kodak Black, Sexyy Red, house parties in Overtown, clubs like Booby Trap, and high-end South Beach spots
• Stylist Jillian Carr has worked with Rockstar since 2023 on the in-game fashion ecosystem
• Carr says Vice City is built around vanity, social media, celebrity culture, tourists, and fast trend cycles
• NPCs are more varied than before: young and old, tall or short, tattooed, pierced, surgically modified, in Hawaiian shirts, suits, luxury fashion, or muddy gear, and dressed for places from Little Cuba to Mount Kalaga
• New tools were built for the most detailed and varied character population Rockstar has ever made
• The team has more than doubled since Red Dead Redemption 2
• There is an LA branch focused on NPCs
• More than 50 real street artists designed murals, including in Vice City’s Stockyard, based on Wynwood
• The vehicle handling team includes race-car drivers
• Nelson: “It is a lot of pressure internally and externally, but that pressure is ultimately a privilege we know we are fortunate to have.”

GTA 6’s latest leak ends with “LEEK” written in bullet holes on the wall…
The person behind this is either an R* employee, has an insider feeding him footage or actually has a build 💀
This is the craziest Rockstar leak to date!
Playing basketball in GTA 6 will increase your focus
I imagine higher focus makes your shots more precise. In the basketball clip, a bench press can be seen in Jason’s house
I suspect that will also raise a body‑related stat, suggesting there are many other minigames for other stats
