Jason turns to drug trafficking and bank robbery because of his circumstances, says Rupert Humphries

Humphries told LOVE that the writers didn’t want Jason’s backstory to make a statement. He takes these steps because of his material circumstances, and it is up to the player to decide whether he has to or is simply wired differently from other people.

Debunked

Manni L. Perez confirmed on Instagram that she plays Lucia

The “I am Lucia’s voice” posts came from mannil.perez, an account with over 50,000 followers that impersonated the actress, used AI-generated text and pictures, and had changed its username 16 times. Perez’s real account came back on September 1 with a thank-you to fans for reporting “fake imposter AI accounts” and no mention of GTA 6. Rockstar hasn’t named Lucia’s actress.

Nelson sees no gameplay bonus for romance: the pair stay partners in crime either way

Asked whether romance gives a gameplay benefit, Nelson said none that he can think of: Jason and Lucia keep working together and having each other’s back whether or not they are close. How much you nurture the relationship does affect how their story plays out, and he said Rockstar doesn’t want to force it on players who aren’t interested. Time together builds it.

Raul is the older mentor who brings Jason and Lucia into the big heists, says Rupert Humphries

Humphries told LOVE that a Bonnie-and-Clyde story is about young people, so the writers needed an older mentor to bring the couple into large-scale heists and set pieces. Raul embodies Vice City and has the local and criminal knowledge that Jason and Lucia lack when they arrive.

The ankle tag from the trailers is part of the story and of how Jason and Lucia are brought together
