Dazed magazine interview has new GTA 6 design details, anyone read it?
PC Gamer is pointing to a new interview in Dazed magazine that apparently has some fresh GTA 6 design and development details. I haven't been able to track down the actual interview yet, but the headline alone has me curious.
Here's the thing. We're less than 24 hours from the extended look dropping on Netflix and YouTube. Rockstar has been pretty quiet since the second trailer, so any new info from a legit outlet is worth paying attention to. Dazed isn't a gaming publication, which makes me wonder if this is more of a cultural piece or if they actually got someone from Rockstar on the record.
I'm not going to speculate too hard without reading it, but the timing feels deliberate. Tomorrow's video is supposed to be a deep dive, and this interview might be setting the stage. Or it could be completely unrelated and just a magazine doing a feature because GTA 6 is the biggest thing in entertainment right now.
What I'm hoping for, if the interview is real and substantial, is something about how the dual protagonist system actually works in practice. We know Lucia and Jason are a couple, but how does that translate to gameplay? Can you switch freely? Do they have separate storylines that converge? The first trailer hinted at a Bonnie and Clyde dynamic, but Rockstar hasn't confirmed much beyond the basics.
Anyway, if anyone has a link to the Dazed piece or has read it, drop some details in the comments. I'd rather hear it from fans than from a clickbait summary. And if it's just fluff, say that too. We've got enough hype without manufactured drama.
What do you think this interview could reveal, and are you more excited for the extended look tomorrow or for whatever Dazed is teasing?

I haven't tracked down the full Dazed piece either, but that headline about playing as a couple or splitting up has me thinking about mission structure more than anything. In GTA V, switching between Michael, Franklin and Trevor mid-mission hit about 60% of the time for me, especially during heists like The Paleto Score. If Lucia and Jason are built as a package deal, I'm hoping Rockstar ties the swap mechanic to actual relationship tension and doesn't treat it like a simple fast-travel system.
What I'd really want from that interview is confirmation on whether solo sessions lock you out of duo content, or if it's more fluid. The Bonnie and Clyde angle works best if the game tracks loyalty or partnership completion metrics. We'll know more in roughly 24 hours anyway. The timing does feel like a warm-up.
