GTA 6 Character Switching: Playing as Lucia and Jason

Quick answer: In GTA 6, a character selection wheel lets you switch between the two protagonists with three modes: Solo Jason, Solo Lucia, and dual control — where you command both characters at once, such as during open-world robberies.

Can you switch characters in GTA 6?

Yes. GTA 6 features two protagonists — Lucia and Jason — and players can switch between them during the story. This continues the multi-protagonist approach Rockstar used in GTA 5, where you could swap between three leads. In GTA 6, the focus narrows to the duo at the heart of the story.

How does switching work?

GTA 6 uses a character selection wheel with three modes: Solo Jason, Solo Lucia, and a dual-control option that lets you command both protagonists at the same time — for example, during open-world robberies. It's a step beyond GTA 5's switching, reflecting how closely Lucia and Jason's story is tied together.

Why two protagonists matter

Playing as two connected leads lets Rockstar tell a richer story from multiple angles and adds variety to missions. It's a hallmark of modern GTA design. For more on the characters, see our GTA 6 characters guide.
