Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 is reportedly going to release between April 2024 to March 2025 and leaks about the game have already disclosed the main character. Rockstar Games have officially released no information about the main character. However, according to leaks, it is understood that the game has more than one main character.
This would align with continuing the trend of the previous version, GTA V. In GTA V, there were three main characters. From a long list of central, supporting, and minor characters, three playable characters were there in the game.
All three main characters were introduced straightforwardly. Firstly, it was Michael DeSanta, the character many believe was the main protagonist because without him the story could not have proceeded. Michael is a middle-aged man. He is a former thief trying to live a normal life.
He meets Franklin Clinton, a man trying to move up the criminal ranks. Later, Michael’s former partner-in-crime, Trevor Philips, a psychopath, reunites with him. The three of them decide to go into the heist business together.
All playable GTA V characters are male. However, in the GTA 6 leaks, a surprise character has been revealed.
GTA 6 is rumored to have their first female playable main character
Leaks have suggested two main characters as of now, a male and a female. The name of the male character will be Jason, meanwhile, the female will be named Lucia. The last names of both characters are still unknown.

It was also reported that these characters are based on Bonnie and Clyde, the Great Depression-era bank-robbing couple. Some outlets also report that there might be a romantic angle between the two characters as the story progresses. Jason seems to be American while Lucia has been known to be of Hispanic descent. More rumors also suggest that Lucia has a child, however, it’s not confirmed the child is Jason’s or not.
Two more characters have been rumored to be present. It is not confirmed if they will be playable. Their names are Billy and Kai.

GTA 6 is rumored to have a budget of over $1 billion. Its previous version, GTA V, which was released in 2013, cost just over $200 million to make. GTA 6 budget is a significant increase over GTA V. On the other hand, the price of the latest version was also rumored to be insane. At some point, a few believed a fake rumor of the price being $500. However, that was not true. The price is set to be around $70 for the base version.
