Rockstar Released Way More ‘GTA 6' Story Details Than We Realized
GTA 6
Rockstar
All attention was on GTA 6's new trailer this week, the second one that's dropped and perhaps the last we'll see in closer to a year, after the game's delay until May.
If you were digging a little deeper, you may have also seen a batch of GTA 6 screenshots that were released, but actual story details seemed scant among all these. Jason's a criminal, Lucia gets out of prison, they're in love. It's pretty basic. But I'm not sure that people realize that Rockstar actually released way more details than you may have thought, and a lot of those are on the official GTA 6 website that I'm pretty sure only 0.001% of trailer-watchers actually have seen.
There are a ton of character descriptions, not just of Jason and Lucia (but them too), but a bunch of supporting side characters we glimpse only briefly in the trailer, rounding out a picture of the cast for the game. So, here we are:
GTA 6 Story Overview: 'Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida – forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.'

Rockstar
Jason Duval: 'Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder. Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new. Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell.'

Rockstar
Lucia Caminos: 'Lucia's father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia's learned her lesson – only smart moves from here. More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City – but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands. A life with Jason could be her way out.

Rockstar
Cal Hampton: 'What if everything on the internet was true? Jason's friend and a fellow associate of Brian's, Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open. The psychopaths are in charge. Get used to it. Cal is the low tide of America and happy there. Casual paranoia loves company, but his friend Jason has bigger plans.'
GTA 6
Rockstar
Boobie Ike: 'It's all about heart – the Jack of Hearts. Boobie is a local Vice City legend – and acts like it. One of the few to transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio – Boobie's all smiles until it's time to talk business. Boobie might seem like he's just out for himself, but it's his partnership with the young aspiring music mogul Dre'Quan for Only Raw Records that he's most invested in – now they just need a hit.'
GTA6
Rockstar
Dre'Quan Priest: 'Dre'Quan was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal. Now that he's signed the Real Dimez, Dre'Quan's days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene.'
GTA 6
Rockstar
Real Dimez: 'Bae-Luxe and Roxy aka Real Dimez have been friends since high school – girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence. An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now after five years and a whole lot of trouble, they're signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice.'

Raul Bautista: 'Confidence, charm and cunning – Raul's a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards. Raul's recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table.'
GTA 6
Rockstar
Brian Heder: 'Brian's a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, Brian's been around long enough to let others do his dirty work. Brian's letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties – so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori's sangria once in a while.'
There's a lot to process there. Jason was in the Army? Lucia is from Liberty City? And the rest of the cast very much seems like the people you'll be taking a big chunk of your missions from, and obviously there are going to be a lot more characters past these as well. Can't wait.

Sony State of Play: 007 First Light, Marvel Tokon and Everything Announced
On Wednesday, Sony's State of Play online event showcased plenty of trailers of upcoming games launching later in 2025 and into 2026. The preview, lasted less than an hour, showcased new and previously-announced PS5 titles as well as a new controller. The last State of Play was in February and featured previews of games including Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, Lies of P: Overture and Saros, from the studio behind Returnal. This time, Sony released a few teasers for many of its most-hyped games, including Ghost of Yōtei, Silent Hill F, Pragmata, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remaster of the original Final Fantasy Tactics and even more levels from last year's fan-favorite hit Astro Bot. The trailer fest also included a reveal of a new official Sony fighting stick, which Sony has given the codename Project Defiant (a final name is forthcoming). While it doesn't have a release date or price, the company noted that it will have wired or "ultra-low latency" wireless connectivity, a durable design and a sling carry case included for easy transport. How to watch Sony State of Play State of Play streamed live on YouTube and Twitch starting at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET). 007 First Light We got our first look at the new James Bond game from Amazon MGM Studios, 007 First Light. From the trailer, it's clear that the game will cover the origins of the super-spy set in what seems like the groovy 1960s. Bond is young, eager and getting his start at MI6, with missions that will take him around the world. 007 First Light is coming in 2026. Ghost of Yotei The spiritual sequel to Ghost of Tsushima had a trailer that showed more vibes than gameplay, pretty much just teeing up a gameplay reveal stream coming in July. Ah well. Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls Ignore that word salad title -- this is a heretofore unlooked-for Marvel fighting game from Arc System Works, famed for the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series as well as Dragon Ball FighterZ. While a little more grounded than Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (where are my super jumps?), Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls will have 4v4 tag team battles, promising tight gameplay and fun new costumes for Marvel heroes. It's coming to PS5 and PC in 2026. Lumines Arise A new game in the Lumines universe is coming from the creators of Tetris Effect: Connected, and you can see the impact with synesthetic combination of music and visuals working together. Lumines Arise comes out Fall 2025 for PS5. Pragmata Our second big trailer for Pragmata, Capcom's next single-player adventure, shows even more of the relationship between the astrogear-wearing protagonist and the robot (looking like a small girl) with more capability than she seems. Pragmata comes out in 2026. Romeo is a Dead Man Romeo Is A Dead Man, a new game from Grasshopper Manufacture, was created by noted game developer Suda51 (Killer7). The trailer opened with a bloody protagonist origin transitioning into gameplay of him, newly reborn, slashing and shooting his way through hordes of dead demon-like things. This game -- and whatever panoply of styles and oddball features suitable for Suda51 -- is coming in 2026. Silent Hill f Another trailer for the next Silent Hill game set in 1960s Japan, this game interspersed cutscenes with some gameplay of main character Hinako, a schooolgirl, fighting horrific mannequin-like monsters in schools and shrines across a mist-covered town. The game comes out on September 25, 2025. Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement The next game in the Bloodstained series of Castlevania-likes is another side-scrolling grim action game, which is coming out in 2026. Digimon Story: Time Stranger A new Digimon game from Bandai Namco, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a story-rich RPG with a cel-shaded anime style set in a Japan invaded by monsters. The game comes out October 3, 2025. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles A remaster of the Final Fantasy Tactics classic, the game has two versions: the original game and the enhanced version with fully-voiced dialogue, improved graphics and more. Launching on PS5 and PS4 September 30, 2025. Baby Steps Described by one CNET colleague as "open world QWOP," Baby Steps looks to be a surrealist adventure of a character with one goal: make it to the bathroom. It looks like a zany idea brought to life in Garry's Mod (and I meant that as a compliment). Baby steps comes out September 8, 2025. Hirogami Hirogami is a beautiful-looking platformer starring protagonist Hiro, a master of origami folding themself into different forms to traverse the locations. It's got a unique animation look where your character moves "on the 2's", or with half the framerate to give it the stylized look of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Hirogami is out September 3, 2025. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound From the makers of the Blasphemous games comes the next side-scrolling action entry in the Ninja Gaiden series, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, featuring two heroes from rival clans who must team up to defeat evil. It's out July 31 on PS5 and PS4. Cairn The upcoming climbing game Cairn got another trailer ahead of its release later this year. In Cairn, you climb using natural handholds, but it's more than just the ascent -- main character Aava has her own personal journey to make in her ascents. Cairn comes out for PC and PS5 on November 5, 2025. Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection Over 20 different versions of the original Mortal Kombat games are coming to PS5 and PS4 later in 2025. Retro game restorers Digital Eclipse have bundled the first four Mortal Kombat games (as well as Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate) and more into the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, which will also let you challenge players online. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Another trailer for the remake of the third Metal Gear Solid game, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, showed off more bosses and, curiously, a crossover with Ape Escape (capture the ape and get a robo-ape mecha to deploy?). Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is out August 28, 2025. Nioh 3 Nioh 3 is coming next year. The reveal trailer for the next entry in the samurai demon-killing game showed off its open world design and a new ninja playstyle to add to its armored samurai fighting. The game has a PS5 demo out today and will be released in early 2026. Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow A new game in the storied Thief franchise, Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, is a PSVR 2-only game that follows in its predecessors' medieval stealth adventure footsteps -- except this time, of course, players get a virtual reality hands-on perspective. Made by Vertigo Games, creators of Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine, Thief VR is coming later in 2025. Tides of Tomorrow An oceanborne post-apocalypse game that looks like Waterworld by way of the wildly vibrant Sunset Overdrive, Tides of Tomorrow has another feature that could distinguish it from the crowd: a multiplayer story. Though its exact processes are hard to tell from the trailer, players can follow their friend or favorite streamer to see how their choices shape the collective story of the game. Tides of Tomorrow comes out next year on February 24, 2026. Sea of Remnants Have you ever wanted to sail the seas as a puppet? Sea of Remnants seems like an even more colorful and zany single-player Sea of Thieves with some interesting color and ocombat mechanics. The trailer showed off dragons and massive floating crab bosses whose shells are coated in gold. Also what looks like mermaid bosses? Sea of Remnants is coming in 2026. Sword of the Sea Yes, Sony debuted a third sea-themed game at State of Play -- or rather, one mixing seas and deserts from game-makers versed in both. Sword of the Sea is a new indie adventure game from Giant Squid, creators of the iconic games Journey, Abzu and The Pathless. And yes, we're getting another soundtrack from Austin Wintory. Sword of the Sea comes to PS5 and PlayStation Plus on August 19, 2025.
