Grand Theft Auto 6 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated games of the decade. Rockstar has been famously tight-lipped so far, leaving fans to piece together theories and leaks for clues about what to expect. While the first teaser trailer gave glimpses of a modernized, high-octane Vice City-inspired setting and introduced new protagonists, Jason and Lucia, much remains unknown — especially about Jason.
While Lucia is seen wearing prison clothes and is rumored to have a backstory tied to law enforcement or criminal justice, possibly as a convict with a complicated past, virtually nothing is known about her partner. The GTA 6 trailer doesn’t reveal much about Jason either; however, the protagonists could bring something different to the table this time around.

What the Next Trailer of GTA 6 Needs To Touch Base on About Jason
Fans need a foundation for who Jason is, what drives him, and what defines his role in GTA 6’s story. A brief glimpse into his past or even a single compelling conversation in the next trailer could go a long way in establishing his character in GTA.
The rumored undercover cop angle adds even more intrigue and raises questions about whether Jason is navigating the criminal world for personal gain, survival, or as part of a covert mission. The next trailer should spill some tea on this mystery, and could potentially reveal his true position within the criminal hierarchy of Leonida.
Jason Is Relatively Younger Than All Protagonists in GTA
Historically, GTA’s protagonists have been older, grizzled characters navigating their criminal lives after years of experience in the underworld. Michael De Santa in GTA 5, for instance, was a retired criminal facing family troubles; Trevor Phillips was a loose cannon shaped by a lifetime of chaos; and Tommy Vercetti in Vice City was a seasoned mobster charting a path to the top. These characters had the benefit of a ‘been there, done that’ mentality, which primarily carried the weight of their decisions and regrets.
Both Lucia and Jason, on the other hand, represent a departure from the franchise’s norm. While Lucia does have a criminal background attached to her, Jason mirrors a new generation of criminals in the fictional state of Leonida.
Possibilities and Rumors About Jason’s Background
If anything, Jason could be GTA‘s take on a companion character like Breaking Bad’s Jesse Pinkman. The fact is that GTA hasn’t yet explored themes outside its conventional old-money crime setup and as far as the first trailer is concerned, GTA 6 seems to be moving out of it. Therefore, any direction it takes could be novel.
For instance, if Jason ends up being an
undercover cop
, the game might end up touching on themes of empathy and provide more insights into the crime world and how it impacts the younger generation in today’s age.
Jason and Lucia Seem To Be Teaming Up
While specific details remain under wraps, Lucia’s role alongside Jason suggests a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style partnership that might blend romance and criminal ambition. Lucia’s narrative might dig into themes of systemic inequality or societal struggles, which could shape her motivations and make her a standout figure. On the other hand, how Jason fits into her journey will hopefully be what the next trailer emphasizes.
