  • GTA 6 Characters: Jason, Lucia and Everyone We’ve Met So Far

    GTA 6 is the first main Grand Theft Auto game with a female lead since the series went 3D — and the first built around a pair of protagonists who work together. Here is every character Rockstar has introduced so far.

    The two protagonists

    Lucia Caminos

    Lucia has just been released from Leonida Penitentiary when the story begins. She is determined to build a better life — even if that means taking big risks.

    Jason Duval

    Jason is an Army veteran who has drifted into working for drug runners in the Keys. He wants an easier life, but meeting Lucia pulls him deeper in.

    Jason and Lucia’s story is built around a criminal partnership. After a simple job goes wrong, they get caught up in a conspiracy that stretches across Leonida.

    Supporting characters

    CharacterWho they are
    Cal HamptonJason’s friend — a conspiracy-minded guy who listens in on police chatter.
    Boobie IkeA Vice City local legend who has turned his street reputation into businesses, including a strip club and a record label.
    Dre’Quan PriestA music hustler who manages the rap duo Real Dimez.
    Real DimezBae-Luxe and Roxy, a duo trying to turn a viral moment into a real music career.
    Raul BautistaA seasoned bank robber who could bring Jason and Lucia into bigger heists.
    Brian HederA drug runner in the Keys whom Jason works for.

    Will you switch between Jason and Lucia?

    GTA 5 let you switch between three characters. Rockstar has shown both Jason and Lucia in gameplay, but it has not fully explained how switching works in GTA 6. We will update this page after launch.

    Frequently asked questions

    Who are the main characters in GTA 6?

    The two protagonists are Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval.

    Is Lucia the first female protagonist in GTA?

    She is the first female lead in a main GTA game since the series went 3D. The original top-down GTA games let you choose from a cast of characters that included women.

    Can you switch between Jason and Lucia?

    Rockstar has shown both in gameplay but hasn’t fully explained how switching works. We’ll update this after launch.

    Who are the side characters in GTA 6?

    Characters revealed so far include Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest, the duo Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder.

    Are Jason and Lucia a couple?

    Rockstar presents them as partners in crime and in their relationship, and the story follows them together.

  • GTA 6 Map: Leonida, Vice City and Every Region Revealed So Far

    GTA 6 takes the series back to Vice City — but this time it is part of a whole state called Leonida, Rockstar’s version of Florida. Here is every region Rockstar has revealed before the November 19, 2026 launch.

    Leonida at a glance

    RegionWhat we know
    Vice CityThe main city: Rockstar’s take on Miami, with beaches, nightclubs, high-rises and a busy port.
    Leonida KeysA chain of islands based on the Florida Keys, built around boats and water.
    GrassriversSwampland inspired by the Everglades, with airboats and alligators.
    Port GellhornA worn-down smaller town away from the big city.
    AmbrosiaRockstar calls it the “heart of Leonida” — an inland, working-class area.
    Mount Kalaga National ParkWooded highlands for hunting, fishing and off-roading.

    How big is the GTA 6 map?

    Rockstar has not given an official size. Reports and leaks suggest it is much larger than GTA 5’s Los Santos and Blaine County, but treat any exact number as unconfirmed until launch.

    Why Vice City again?

    Vice City first appeared in the original Grand Theft Auto and became a fan favorite with GTA: Vice City in 2002, which was set in the 1980s. GTA 6 brings it into the present day, with social media, viral videos and modern Florida culture as a big part of the setting.

    What the map means for cheats

    A bigger map with boats, swamps and highlands makes vehicle-spawn cheats more useful than ever. If GTA 6 includes cheats, expect boat and aircraft spawns to be popular. We will test them on launch day.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where is GTA 6 set?

    GTA 6 is set in Leonida, Rockstar’s fictional version of Florida. Its main city is Vice City.

    How big is the GTA 6 map?

    Rockstar hasn’t given an official size. Reports suggest it is bigger than GTA 5’s map, but no exact figure is confirmed.

    What regions are in GTA 6?

    Rockstar has revealed Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.

    Is GTA 6 Vice City the same as GTA: Vice City?

    It’s the same fictional city, but set in the present day instead of the 1980s, and far more detailed.

    Can you explore the whole map from the start?

    Rockstar hasn’t said. Past GTA games locked some areas early in the story, so we’ll confirm after launch.

  • Will GTA 6 Have Cheat Codes? What We Know Before Launch

    GTA 6 comes out on November 19, 2026, and one of the most-searched questions about it is simple: will it have cheat codes? Here is everything we actually know — and what we don’t — before launch.

    Short answer: Rockstar Games has not confirmed whether GTA 6 has cheat codes. Any “GTA 6 cheat list” you see online right now is made up or copied from GTA 5. We will test and publish real codes on launch day.

    Every main GTA game has had cheats

    Cheat codes have been part of Grand Theft Auto for decades, but the way you enter them keeps changing:

    GameHow cheats worked
    GTA III, Vice City, San AndreasButton combos on console; typed words on PC
    GTA IVDialed as phone numbers on the in-game phone
    GTA VButton combos, PC console words, and phone numbers
    Red Dead Redemption 2Found in in-game newspapers and entered from the pause menu

    That last row matters. Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s most recent big open-world game, and it moved cheats into a menu instead of button combos. GTA 6 could follow either approach — or something new.

    Why some people think GTA 6 might drop cheats

    • GTA Online is a huge part of Rockstar’s business, and cheats have never worked online.
    • Rockstar has been quiet on the topic in its trailers and announcements.
    • Modern games often limit cheats to protect trophies, achievements and the in-game economy.

    Why we expect them anyway

    • Cheats have appeared in every main GTA release, including GTA V on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
    • Red Dead Redemption 2 shows Rockstar still includes cheats in recent single-player games.
    • Cheats are a big part of why players replay GTA story modes.

    What GTA 6 cheats would probably look like

    If GTA 6 follows past games, expect cheats to work only in story mode, to switch off trophies and achievements while active, and to cover classics such as full health and armor, weapons, a lower wanted level and vehicle spawns.

    Until then: GTA 5 cheats still work

    Frequently asked questions

    Has Rockstar confirmed cheat codes for GTA 6?

    No. As of early November 2026, Rockstar Games has not said whether GTA 6 includes cheat codes. We will confirm on launch day, November 19, 2026.

    Are the GTA 6 cheat lists online real?

    No. Nobody outside Rockstar has played the finished game, so any list published before launch is guessed or copied from GTA 5.

    Will GTA 6 cheats work in GTA Online?

    Cheats have never worked in GTA Online, and we expect GTA 6 to follow the same rule. They are likely to work in story mode only.

    Will cheats disable trophies and achievements in GTA 6?

    In GTA 5, using cheats turned off trophies and achievements for that session. Rockstar hasn’t said how GTA 6 handles this yet.

    How will I enter GTA 6 cheats?

    Unknown until launch. Past games used button combos, phone numbers, PC console words or, in Red Dead Redemption 2, a menu. We will explain the exact method once the game is out.

    Every GTA 5 cheat code works on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC today. When GTA 6 is out, our PS5 and Xbox pages will have tested codes.
