What if GTA 6 has a dual betrayal ending like Red Dead Redemption 2?

Imagine pouring 60 hours into GTA 6, falling in love with Lucia and Jason's wild, Bonnie & Clyde-style chaos, only to have one betray the other in the final act. Brutal, right? But what if Rockstar really goes there, just like they did with Arthur Morgan's heartbreaking ending in Red Dead Redemption 2? Let's break it down because if GTA 6 has a dual betrayal ending, it might just be the most savage twist in Rockstar history.
Rockstar Loves Tragedy (And So Do We)
Red Dead Redemption 2 didn't just end; it
wrecked
us. Dutch turned into a paranoid wreck, Micah was the absolute worst, and Arthur? He died betrayed, broken, but redeemed.
Rockstar doesn't do "happy ever after." From Tommy Vercetti to Niko Bellic to Arthur Morgan — every story ends in loss, pain, or a moral gut-punch. GTA 5 gave us three endings, but the one fans call 'the canon' has all three protagonists survive. Red Dead 2? Not so lucky.
If Rockstar brings that Red Dead energy into GTA 6 — especially with two characters as emotionally layered as Lucia and Jason — a betrayal ending feels
too good
(or too evil?) to pass up.
Jason and Lucia Will Betray Each other.. (GTA VI Theory)
What Would a Dual Betrayal Look Like?
Picture this:
Lucia and Jason are at the top of their game. The final heist is done. Money's rolling in.
Then... Jason gets cold feet. He's seen too much blood. He wants out.
But Lucia? She's not done climbing. She sees Jason as a liability.
Betrayal 1 - Lucia sets Jason up.
Or maybe Jason thinks Lucia's gonna ditch him, so he flips first.
Betrayal 2 -
A full Romeo & Juliet, but with guns, vaults, and helicopters.
The beauty (and cruelty) would be in giving
both
characters the chance to betray the other, depending on the choices players make.
Split endings. Different paths. All tragic.
The Canceled Story of GTA VI..
Why This Twist Would Hit So Hard
GTA 6 seems like it's going to be a more emotional, character-driven story — less chaos for chaos' sake, more
"What would you do to survive?"
Lucia's been to prison. Jason's run from his past. They're both survivors. But in Rockstar games, survival comes with a price.
A dual betrayal ending would force players to question everything:
Who did you side with more?
Who do you
trust
?
Can there even be a 'happy' ending in a world like Leonida?
It's the kind of gut-wrenching narrative twist that gets players talking, memeing, and replaying the game just to see what happens the other way.
We're Not Ready
If GTA 6 goes the Red Dead Redemption 2 route with a betrayal-filled finale, we're in for an emotional wreck of an ending. And honestly? We'd eat it up. After all, this isn't just a game about fast cars and big guns anymore. It's about
trust, loyalty,
and whether anyone can actually escape the life they chose. So buckle up. The sun might be shining in Vice City, but the ending could be
dark as hell

All these were server-side fixes, which means that these were done without interrupting gameplay through a downloadable patch.

GTA 5 actors pitch GTA 6 story DLC featuring Trevor, Michael & Franklin
As Rockstar Games prepares for the 2026 release of GTA 6, the favorite three from GTA 5, Trevor, Michael, and Franklin are not finished yet. The stars of the legendary characters announced their concept of a special story DLC that could see them return for an ultimate heist. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Now, they are calling on fans to campaign for their comeback. GTA 5 stars demand one final heist in GTA 6 DLC In a June 15 Comic Con Brussels panel, Steven Ogg (Trevor), Ned Luke (Michael), and Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) had their say about playing in the Grand Theft Auto world again. When asked by a fan if they would be in GTA 6, the three actors replied in a very positive manner, suggesting a possible story DLC of one final job. "That would be great," replied Luke, to which Fonteno chimed, "What you call it, 'The Final Score'?" The concept continued to develop onstage, with Luke proposing the title The Final Score. The actors grinned at the prospect of getting together again for one final heist in a different city, Vice City, the location for GTA 6. Fonteno even called on fans to act: "So y'all campaign. One last score." GTA 5: Steven Ogg, Shawn Fonteno & Ned Luke Q&A Session | Comic Con Brussels | 11-05-2025 What it might portend for GTA 6 and Rockstar's intentions As nice as the idea is for dedicated fans, Rockstar Games itself has not announced anything regarding story expansions for GTA 6. In contrast to GTA 4, which had several story DLCs, GTA 5 notoriously abandoned its single-player DLC efforts in favor of GTA Online updates. With GTA 6 expected to evolve both single-player and online experiences, the return of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin in a post-launch DLC could offer nostalgic value while bridging the old and new generations of players. Whether Rockstar will consider this proposal remains to be seen, but the actors' public appeal is already generating buzz online. The potential return of GTA 5's trio in GTA 6 as a part of a dedicated story DLC has everyone expecting a proper send-off. If Rockstar hears the mounting pressure, "The Final Score" might return as one of the most hyped expansions in the franchise's history. Until that happens, it's up to the fans to campaign and get their voice heard. Also Read:
