How can players change their characters while playing GTA 5?

Playing with Franklin, Trevor, and Michael allows fans of the long-running franchise the opportunity to play with different abilities and watch the events of the game unfold in a unique manner.

To switch characters in the game, players need to hold down on the d-pad to put the character-switch dial. With the character switch menu up, players can use the right analog sticks to choose between the three of them.

Once players have decided which player they would like to play with, they will need to release the down-directional input on the d-pad to fix their character. Players should note that PC users will be able to do the same thing but instead of holding down on the d-pad.

PC players will need to hold down their Alt-key to open up the menu and release the Alt-key when they have finalized their character selection. So, yes, that’s all you need to know about how to switch characters in GTA 5.

GTA Vice City teased in GTA Online

GTA Online players were convinced that they have seen the new GTA 6 teaser hidden in the new update, further confirming the belief that Vice City is returning to the franchise with GTA 6. The development gameplay leaks of GTA 6 last year confirmed that the series would see Vice City making a comeback.

It seems Rockstar Games is playing into this with the help of a new event. Although GTA 6 is yet to be announced officially, the developers have indicated that the development is well on its way as intended, and the leaks won’t affect or delay the development of the highly-anticipated game.

As fans are eagerly waiting for Rockstar to release the trailer, a teaser of GTA 6 has made it to the book “Miami Taxi Vibes,” with the Florida location existing in GTA as Vice City.
