Grand Theft Auto games have always had memorable protagonists. Be it GTA Vice City's Thomas "Tommy" Vercetti, GTA San Andreas' Carl "CJ" Johnson, or GTA 5's Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, all have become iconic for playing a big role in one of the most gaming franchises of all time. As such, high hopes are pinned on GTA 6, Rockstar's next big game, and the sequel to 2013's GTA 5. The first GTA 6 trailer has already premiered, giving us a glimpse into the world of GTA 6, its setting, as well as the two protagonists. Yes, there will be two playable protagonists this time around! But who are they?
Former Dev Explains Why Grand Theft Auto 3 Protagonist Was Silent

Grand Theft Auto has come a long way. In 2025, we will receive Grand Theft Auto VI, but looking back, the overhaul to the gameplay experience came from Grand Theft Auto 3. This was a huge title at release, filled with controversy and players spending countless hours exploring the world or causing havoc. But did you ever wonder why our main protagonist, Claude, had no voice? Fortunately, one developer recently commented on why Rockstar Games felt like keeping this character silent.
It’s hard to imagine a protagonist in the Grand Theft Auto franchise not having a voice. Since Grand Theft Auto 3, we’ve seen some massive scripts come out. Protagonists are now quite vocal, and it’s hard to imagine characters like Grand Theft Auto V’s Trevor not spewing up some nonsense. A former developer for Rockstar Games who had their hand on multiple past titles, including Grand Theft Auto 3, was questioned about the silent protagonist. Obbe Vermeij is active on the X social media account, and recently, Obbe revealed that the reason we didn’t receive a voice actor for Claude was to cut corners.
At least part of it was that we had to cut corners. The audio dept were busy as it was.
Obbe noted that the development team opted to cut some corners and ease up on the work for the audio department. Apparently, the department was already busy with work, and this would have just put too much on the team. Of course, since this game blew up, the focus seems to be to ensure that each installment is bigger and better than the last. We’ve seen several iconic characters come out fully voiced by actors. Again, we’re going to see another installment release into the marketplace in the coming years with Grand Theft Auto VI.
Grand Theft Auto VI has only one trailer so far, but we can see two main protagonists here. Of course, just having one trailer so far doesn’t indicate too much of what this next game will entail. But that is where one past leaked post is coming in handy. A post released on Reddit several months ago has proven to be more credible now, thanks to the debut trailer release. Of course, beyond that, the hype for the game has caused predators to seek easy prey.
We know Grand Theft Auto VI is coming in 2025 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms. But we’re seeing a slew of scams online regarding a PC port. There’s no confirmed PC port quite yet, but the scam posts seek to sell consumers fake PC preorder copies and access to an alpha version of the game. So please be cautious about these advertisements as they have even been reported to show up on Google’s YouTube platform.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Will Look as Good as its Trailer, According to Former Rockstar Animator
Gaming audiences have been burned plenty of times by games that look stunning in their pre-launch trailers, but end up delivering noticeably (and, at times, severely) downgraded visuals when they actually release, which means there’s always an air of skepticism around graphically impressive trailers for upcoming games. Grand Theft Auto 6 received one such stunning trailer upon its announcement last week, and though there are some who have wondered whether the game will actually look this good, a former Rockstar developer is certain that it will.
