‘Early sport map restrictions?’
Redditors within the GTA 6 Subreddit have been discussing if Lucia’s ankle tag will imply Rockstar restricts how open the world is at first of the sport.
LuxrOfficial posted: “Lucia’s ankle monitor seems like an obvious way to limit early-game movement but what about Jason? If he doesn’t have the same restriction, could he have more freedom to explore? As far as I know, GTA 5 was the only title that allowed full exploration from the get go. Will they do this again or maybe go back to their roots? One theory: Jason might be able to move freely while Lucia is confined to a specific area.”
And others have been sharing their ideas.
Commercial-Day8360 stated: “Honestly this’d be a brilliant way to do it. Kind of like how black water and the desert were restricted in RDR2.”
littlestevebrule stated: “I think we get a much longer prologue than GTA 5‘s and similar to RDR2‘s in length, ending with both characters getting arrested after the gas station robbery. Maybe the prison section is just some cutscenes or maybe we actually get a little gameplay inside. Jason and Lucia get released with ankle monitors that get taken off in Chapter 2. Feels Rockstar-ish to me.”
ChaoticKiwiNZ stated: “I have a feeling we will be playing as Lucia for the first couple hours of GTA 6 and we will be limited because of her ankle monitor. We will be introduced to Jason when the game opens up after the main tutorial stuff is over.”
Former Rockstar developer says GTA 6 probably playable ‘throughout’

“There’s probably a ton of bugs and they’re fixing all those bugs, and they’re trying to find more bugs, and they’re trying to find as many bugs as they can before they release because a game like GTA is unlike any other game.”
York worked on GTA 5, GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 but has not worked on GTA 6 – by his own admission in the interview, this is his opinion.
