Many gamers fear falling in love with Lucia from GTA VI and worry about their real-life relationships
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI will introduce two protagonists at once: Jason and Lucia. Judging by incoming reports, some individuals are extremely concerned that the heroine of the new installment in the franchise might win their hearts (or their partners' hearts). TheGamer took note of the trends in several specific Google search queries.
As it turns out, in anticipation of the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, the number of search queries for phrases along the lines of “falling in love in a game” has surged dramatically, alongside the more specific query “falling in love with Lucia.”
Journalists cross-referenced Rockstar Games' marketing campaign with search query trends, and it turns out they are indeed connected. The number of searches for such phrases remained flat from November 2021 until around May 2025—which is precisely when the developers released the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI.
Since May of last year, the volume of such Google search queries has spiked sharply—nearly tripling. TheGamer conducted an additional check, deciding to compare the results of several more search queries to see if they correlated.
Indeed, it turned out that as the number of search queries such as “falling in love in a game” grew, so did the number of specific queries like “falling in love with Lucia,” as well as “is a relationship in a game cheating.” Apparently, people are open to the possibility of falling in love with Lucia.
The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
