Long before we knew that GTA 6 would be played from the perspective of dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, many were wondering just how many playable characters Rockstar\u2019s latest would include. And it turns out that the answer wasn\u2019t always two.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Grand Theft Auto 5 charted a new direction for the series by increasing the number of characters to three, where there had always been just one. Red Dead Redemption 2 does have multiple protagonists, but can never be switched between in the style of GTA 5 due to story reasons. It begged the question of which direction the developer would go when first designing 6.<\/p>\n
