Character switching is back in GTA 6, but it will not work the same way in every situation. In an interview with Famitsu, Rockstar explained that the freedom to switch between Jason and Lucia will depend on the point in the story.
When will players be able to switch protagonists?
Some missions may restrict control to one character for narrative reasons. Other sequences will have scripted switches, while certain moments will allow players to choose whom to control.
Outside missions, Jason and Lucia also have routines of their own. When switching characters, players may find them carrying out everyday activities at home or elsewhere in the open world.
This structure helps preserve the protagonists' identities. A task directly related to Jason's past, for example, can carry a different meaning from a situation centered on Lucia's experience.
Switching between Jason and Lucia therefore also serves the pace of the narrative. Some sequences will be experienced from a specific point of view, while others will give players a choice.
