A Polygon opinion piece argues that Jason Duval, one of two protagonists in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, could be the best-dressed lead character the series has produced, based on outfits shown when Rockstar opened pre-orders and revealed clothing options. The writer contrasts this with previous GTA protagonists, who were typically dressed in scruffy, dated or garish outfits that reinforced tired "poor-boy-turned-vulgar-rich-guy" stereotypes, arguing that giving a male lead genuinely stylish clothing is a meaningful and overdue shift for the franchise.

The article traces GTA's fashion history from GTA 3's single grubby outfit and Vice City's mostly poor wardrobe choices, through GTA 4's interchangeable jackets and fatigues, to GTA 5's outdated 1990s-style streetwear and unconvincing "success" suits. By contrast, Jason's revealed outfits include smart chinos, subtle floral prints, understated button-downs and a sharp 1980s-inspired Vice City-style look, alongside customisable hairstyles. The author sees this as a sign Rockstar may finally be breaking from its history of fashion-poor male leads, while noting co-protagonist Lucia's outfits also strike a better balance of flash and casual style than earlier female GTA characters.
