The GTA 6 Countdown social media account put it next to the diner scene from Pulp Fiction, and the similarities are there, especially in the framing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Pulp Fiction, Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer&#8217;s characters, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny, go on to rob the diner, and given that Lucia and Jason are criminals as well, it&#8217;s not a stretch to think that could happen in GTA 6. Maybe they&#8217;re just enjoying breakfast, but that seems unlikely given the image clearly shows both gripping their pistols, with Lucia seemingly ready to fill the empty duffel bag next to her with cash and other valuables.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The new GTA 6 screenshot of Jason and Lucia is a reference to Pulp Fiction\u2019s opening diner scene. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xGLty65DPU\">pic.twitter.com\/xGLty65DPU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; GTA 6 Countdown \u23f3 (@GTAVI_Countdown) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GTAVI_Countdown\/status\/2106042257443049741?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTA 6 tells a Bonnie and Clyde-style story of two lovers who are also criminals. Things did not end well for them, and many are speculating as to how GTA 6&#8217;s story could wrap up for both Lucia and Jason. It also wouldn&#8217;t be surprising to see GTA 6 reference Pulp Fiction given how GTA games in the past have featured very overt references to movies, like how Vice City had Scarface references and GTA 5 had nods to Heat. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We wanted both protagonists to be vulnerable, tough, flawed, right sometimes, wrong sometimes, able to learn from each other,\u201dGTA 6 writer Elizabeth Gauvey-Kern told Love magazine. \u201cThat\u2019s what we felt made them authentic, and a great team.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1904665\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Jason_and_Lucia_13_0038a1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1904665\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jason and Lucia in GTA 6.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another GTA 6 game writer, Alexa D\u2019Agostino, told the magazine, \u201cWhen you are focusing on writing a fully realized person with their own wants, you\u2019re going to get something perfectly imperfect&#8211;with clich\u00e9s, but also undeniably real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
