Grand Theft Auto 6's story campaign will begin entirely with Jason Duval as its protagonist.

According to GameGPU, leaks from an early GTA VI build suggest Jason Duval will be the sole playable protagonist during the prologue and opening story chapters. The reported introduction follows his criminal activities in the Leonid Keys region while teaching players shooting, driving and open-world interactions.

GameGPU reports that Lucia Caminos will initially be imprisoned at Vice Dale County Correctional Facility and unavailable to control. She reportedly becomes playable after a series of missions involving her release and the pair’s early activities together. The outlet links this progression to previously released CyberLeek gameplay videos featuring only Jason.

After the introductory act, GameGPU says players will have freedom to choose between the protagonists. The report describes individual missions built around each character’s skills, alongside larger joint missions that allow players to switch between them.

The outlet lists November 19 as GTA VI’s official release date for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It also reports that an extended preview is scheduled for August 27 on Netflix.
