Jason and Lucia

  1. As with GTA 5, you can switch between the game’s leads at any time while exploring the open world. While designed to remain available as often as possible, switching may be disabled at certain points in the story.
  2. When playing as one character, you can do things solo, or you can summon the other to help out with open-world activities or to simply hang out. To do that, you can call or text your partner in crime at any time, and they’ll travel to your location.
  3. When traveling in a car together, you can switch seats and allow for the other character to drive if you fancy a little break and want to just chill out with the radio playing. During car chases or escapes, you can choose to sit in the passenger seat and shoot while the other drives.
  4. If you’re out on your own for most of a day, you might get a text from Jason or Lucia reminding you to lock up the house when you get back late, or letting you know they’re heading to bed. Ignoring these messages may result in your relationship being negatively affected.
  5. At the beginning of the story, Jason and Lucia want to pursue a romantic relationship. Whether this ends up happening is up to you, though. This is managed by spending time together outside of missions, as the critical story path may not provide a sufficient amount of time for their love to blossom.
  6. Ways to strengthen the couple’s bond include exploring Leonida, going shopping, visiting hair salons, or exercising as a pair, and, of course, committing robberies together — this is GTA, after all. There are almost certainly plenty of other couples' activities to do, too.
  7. No matter how tense things get between the pair, they’ll still have each other's backs, even if they're not close romantically, as the narrative running through the main missions requires this. How close they are at certain points does affect how their story will play out, though.
  8. There are no specific gameplay benefits earned by building a strong romantic connection, meaning romance is completely optional and predominantly a roleplaying decision for players to make,
  9. If you do want to engage with that side of things, though, you can hold hands while out and about with a pull of the right trigger. Other little touches include being able to hold doors open for each other.

Safehouses, Cosmetics, and Physical Stats

  1. Jason and Lucia can live in the same safehouse together, and each operate on their own schedules to make their behaviour in the world feel as believable as possible.
  2. GTA 6’s safehouses are more comparable to Red Dead Redemption 2’s camps than the series’ traditional houses, meaning other people could also pop in and out. One home we saw even belonged to someone other than Jason and Lucia.
  3. These bases are designed to be more interactive than their equivalents from any other GTA. Like in Red Dead Redemption 2, you’ll be able to shorten or shave your hair and facial hair (new styles will still need to be cut at a salon or barber).
  4. Multiple personal vehicles can be owned by each character and kept at safehouses. These have working trunks, and you can store a change of clothes and weapons in them to aid with fighting and escaping the law.
  5. As is the norm with GTA, hair salons and clothing stores can be found throughout the open world, but each will now have exclusive items and signature hairstyles to encourage you to visit different ones.
  6. As well as cosmetics, Jason and Lucia’s appearance can change depending on which activities you engage with. Going to the gym increases their muscularity and strength, but overeating will make them gain weight. Eating does provide a substantial boost to a character’s health, though. Each of these activities can be performed solo or as a couple.
