Gamers Fear Falling in Love With GTA VI’s Lucia and Worry About Their Real-Life Relationships

Google searches about falling in love with Grand Theft Auto VI protagonist Lucia have risen alongside searches about in-game romance, according to TheGamer.

Rockstar Games’ upcoming game will feature two protagonists, Jason and Lucia. TheGamer examined Google search trends amid concerns that players or their partners might fall for Lucia.

The publication found a sharp increase in searches for phrases such as “fall in love in a game,” as well as the more specific “fall in love with Lucia.”

TheGamer compared the search trends with Rockstar Games’ marketing campaign. Searches for those phrases remained steady from November 2021 until around May 2025, when the developer released the second Grand Theft Auto VI trailer.

Since May last year, the number of such Google searches has nearly tripled. TheGamer also compared several other search terms to see whether their trends matched.

As searches for phrases such as “fall in love in a game” rose, so did searches for “fall in love with Lucia” and “are relationships in a game cheating.” The trends suggest that some people believe they could fall for Lucia.

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
