Gamers Think Lucia's Ankle Monitor In GTA 6 Will Limit Early Game Map
Eagle-eyed fans have spotted something in GTA 6's key art - Lucia is wearing an ankle monitor. From the trailer, we know she'll spend some time in prison before getting released, so it makes sense. But theories are already swirling around how it'll tie into gameplay, like restricting the map early on.

As for Jason's role in the story, there are a few theories out there. The most popular one is that he's an undercover cop, but others have
