Jason Duval
Jason grew up among people who made their money at the edges of the law, and a stretch in the Army did little to change the direction of travel. He is in the Keys now, earning from the drug runners who work that water, and telling himself it is temporary.
Confirmed by Rockstar
What Rockstar has confirmed
- Where Jason starts
Jason is in the Keys, working for the drug runners who operate there.
- Jason before the Keys
Jason Duval grew up among criminals and spent time in the Army before the Keys.
- Vehicles Rockstar has named
Rockstar's edition material names seven vehicles: a ’95 Grotti Cheetah sports car, a ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan, a ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy, a Dinka Enduro motorcycle, a Shitzu Squalo boat, a Crest kayak, and Jason's own Vapid Ganado pickup.
Each is named as an edition or pre-order item, so this is not a list of the vehicles in the game. No official list has been published yet.
- Pre-order bonus
Pre-ordering adds the Vintage Vice City Pack: a two-tone ’55 Vapid Stanier sedan with a garage near Ocean Beach, period outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a weapon pattern modelled on Tommy Vercetti's palm-tree shirt.
It comes with every pre-order, and with every purchase made before 20 November 2026.
- Leads
Jason and Lucia are the game's two leads.
- The premise
A score that goes wrong pulls the pair into a criminal conspiracy running across the state.
- Where Jason lives
Jason Duval lives rent-free at one of Brian Heder's properties, in exchange for helping with local shakedowns.
- What the two leads are to each other
Rockstar leaves the pair's relationship unresolved: Lucia Caminos sees a life with Jason as her way out, while for Jason Duval meeting her could be the best or the worst thing that has happened to him.
In Rockstar's words, Jason “knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell.”
- The Megamundo opening
The pair are hired as security for a media executive at the Vice City launch of Megamundo, a Spanish-language broadcaster opening its first American headquarters. Armed men storm the tower and take hostages, and Jason and Lucia end up fighting on separate floors.
Rockstar has printed no spelling of the executive's name.

- Two playable leads
Jason and Lucia are both playable, and the presentation shows the player moving between them: while the pair travel together, in the middle of a fight, and when they are on different floors of a building.
Rockstar has shown the switch rather than described it. No first-party page states the rule, so when it is available, how long it takes and whether a mission can withhold it are all open.
Strongly evidenced
Seen in official material
- The lead you are not playing
The protagonist the player is not controlling acts on their own rather than trailing behind: in the opening raid Lucia fights through the building alongside Jason, and in the Bautista pursuit the passenger handles the shooting while the driver drives.

- Weapons Rockstar has named
Rockstar's edition material names three firearms: Jason's Girardi ES9 pistol, Lucia's Klose K17 pistol, and a Hawk & Little Morgan revolver in his-and-hers versions.
All three are named through Ultimate Edition items, so this is not a list of the weapons in the game. No official list has been published yet.
- The opening job
The presentation opens on Jason and Lucia collecting goods connected to Boobie Ike at a run-down residential block. The job is compromised, police arrive, and it ends as a running gunfight through corridors and rooms.
Strongly evidenced
Seen in official material
- Driving for Bautista
Jason and Lucia work as getaway drivers for Raul Bautista, who directs them from the back seat. They lose a four-star pursuit, burn the getaway car, leave in a van, and are paid afterwards.
Strongly evidenced
Seen in official material
- Cal and Brian
Cal Hampton is an associate of Brian Heder's, as Jason is.
- Named so far
Rockstar has named nine characters: Lucia Caminos, Jason Duval, Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista, Brian Heder and Wyman.
The first eight are billed by full name in reader-facing copy on three separate surfaces: the People navigation, each character's own page heading, and the title of each character's clip in the video library. Wyman, a collector and fixer, is named in the Ultimate Edition copy.
