Every New GTA 6 Character and Location Announced in Trailer 2

Leonida is a big state with lots of places to visit.

Publisher Rockstar Games broke a lot of gamers’ hearts last week when it said Grand Theft Auto 6 was being pushed to next year. As a bit of a consolation prize, the company dropped a new trailer and shared new details about the game. 

The second trailer for GTA 6 went live Tuesday, and Rockstar published a treasure trove of info about the game. This includes the name of the mystery second protagonist from the game as well as some of the other characters players will interact with, and what different locales in the fictional Leonida will be available to visit. 

All Grand Theft Auto 6 Characters

It wouldn’t be a GTA game without a large cast of characters. 

Jason and Lucia

The two heroes of GTA 6. Jason Duval has been working for drug runners after doing some time in the Army. He met up with Lucia Caminos, who, as of the time of the trailer, is getting out of Leonida Penitentiary after spending some time due to some unknown crime that involved protecting her family. It’s unclear if the two characters will be playable throughout the game. More than likely, both characters will have their own missions, while others will have them both be playable at different points in a mission. 

Cal Hamption

A friend of Jason’s who’s a conspiracy theorist. He’s extremely online and spends time snooping on law enforcement. As is the case with most friends in GTA games, expect to do a few missions for him at certain points in the game. 

Boobie Ike

A Vice City legend, Boobie is a former street thug who is now a businessman with an empire spanning real estate, a strip club and a recording studio. He has a partnership with music mogul Dre’Quan for Only Raw Records, and they’re looking for a hit song. 

Dre’Quan Priest

A street hustler trying to make it big in music. He used to book acts for Boobie’s strip club, but is looking to make a name for himself with his music act, Real Dimez.

Real Dimez

Bae-Luxe and Roxy are two girls who met in high school and do their share of making viral content for social media. They had a hit single five years ago with local rapper DWNPLY, and they’re trying to recreate that success. 

Raul Bautista

Raul is a professional bank robber who takes a lot of risks. He could be the one to recruit Jason and Lucia for a big score that goes all wrong.  

Brian Heder

Brian is the first person we see in the new trailer. He’s likely to be one of the first NPCs to use both Jason and Lucia to do some of his dirty work. 

All Grand Theft Auto 6 Locations Confirmed in Leonida

With GTA 5 taking place in Los Santos and surrounding areas, it looks like Rockstar is going to go even bigger with GTA 6. The game’s setting is the state of Leonida, the fictional version of Florida. It will include some time in the big city as well as surrounding areas, including the coasts and swamplands. 

Vice City

The heart of the game will likely be Vice City, a parody of Miami, once again a setting for a GTA game. Unlike GTA: Vice City, which was set in the 1980s, this version of the city will be very up-to-date. Expect to spend some time on the beach, in the clubs, in the Little Cuba neighborhood and at the VC Port. 

Leonida Keys

A take on the Florida Keys, Leonida Keys is going to be the place to spend some time in the water, likely running away from the Coast Guard while riding a speeding motorboat. 

Grassrivers

It wouldn’t be a proper game in a fictional Florida without some version of the Everglades. Grassrivers is swamp country, where gators sneak around, and the locals are just as dangerous. 

Port Gellhorn

One of the smaller cities in Leonida is Port Gellhorn, a take on Key West. This is a rundown town where it’s easier to find painkillers than a good time. 

Ambrosia

Aside from Rockstar’s description, it’s hard to really put a finger on Ambrosia’s real-life counterpart. Although the game labels Ambrosia the «heart of Leonida,» some GTA fans on the game’s subreddit suggest the city could be St. Augustine or Clewiston, both cities in Florida. 

Mount Kalaga

Like Ambrosia, this is one that’s a bit hard to find the real-life counterpart. Its description says it has lush wooded areas for fishing, hunting and off-roading, while also being the home to hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals. 

GTA 6 is set for release on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. The price has not been announced.

Google Could Revive Last Year’s Bright Pink Color for the Pixel 10a

Google’s upcoming Pixel 10a is expected to launch in February with some new colors, including one popular ask.

The Google Pixel 9a is one of Google’s most affordable Pixel phones, and it includes one of the most frequently requested colors — bright pink. With the Google Pixel 10a rumored to launch in February, we’re already getting a hint at the colors the new model will come in. 

According to Roland Quandt, a regular mobile leaker on Bluesky, the Google Pixel is expected to be offered in obsidian (black), berry (pink), fog (light gray), and lavender colors. However, it’s the berry hue that is intriguing customers.

A representative for Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

«I always love to see phones come in vibrant colors, and it’s especially welcome in more budget-friendly options,» said Abrar Al-Heeti, senior technology reporter at CNET. «Yes, we tend to slap a case on our phones anyway, but just knowing your phone touts a bold color can make it feel like more of a statement piece, rather than a bland piece of tech.»

Pink is one of the most requested color options for the Pixel phones. CNET sister site Mashable loved the color when it debuted on the Pixel 9. Phone rivals like Apple and Samsung are usually expected to offer a pink color option in their flagship and midrange phone lineups, so it’s not surprising to see the berry color on the Pixel 10a.  

«I’ll say that Google loves having Pixel phones in pink,» said Patrick Holland, CNET managing editor. «The Pixel 9 and 9a come in peony (a bright, bold pink) and the 9 Pro in rose quartz (a more muted pink). The Pixel 10 series lacks any pinkish hues.» 

Quandt also says that the Pixel 10a will have 128GB and 256GB storage models, and will launch in mid-February. That’s earlier than expected compared with the Pixel 9a, which was revealed in mid-March 2025 for a launch on April 10. In terms of specifications, we expect the Pixel 10a to be a modest upgrade compared with previous generations. According to leaks, the Pixel 10 is unlikely to feature a newer Tensor G5 chip, and it’s likely to retain the same overall design as the Pixel 9a. 

One leaker, Mystic Leaks on Telegram, expressed disappointment and revealed additional specs, including the absence of a telephoto lens, UFS 3.1 storage, a Tensor G4 chip, a 2,000-nit display and no Magic Cue, which is Google’s AI feature for the Pixel 10.
