GTA 6’s Jason and Lucia Will Start as Small-Time Criminals Who Have to Work Up to High-Value Jobs

GTA 6 will begin with Jason and Lucia carrying out low-level crimes, with players needing to build their way up to more valuable jobs. Rockstar says this progression is part of the game’s approach to portraying the couple as having “their backs against the wall” when players first meet them.

Early tasks will include hotwiring basic vehicles and picking simple locks; players will not immediately be able to rob jewellery shops or drive sports cars. Planning could make robberies more manageable or rewarding, with options such as disabling cameras or finding discreet entry points, while skipping preparation may lead to chaos. Rockstar also says the game will include mechanisms intended to encourage empathy, though it has not explained how they work.
