They were the first characters that players got to interact with in an immersive in-game environment. Now, Rockstar Games is preparing to introduce some new characters in GTA 6. The studio is also known for bringing old characters back from previous games. Therefore, the upcoming game should also include some GTA 3 characters.<\/p>\n<p>This article lists five GTA 3 characters that should return in GTA 6.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Note: This article is subjective and only reflects the writer\u2019s opinions.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>5 GTA 3 characters that should be a part of GTA 6<\/h2>\n<h3>1) Phil Cassidy<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Phil Cassidy\u2019s lookalike was already seen in GTA 6 (Image via Rockstar Games)\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Phil Cassidy\u2019s lookalike was already seen in GTA 6 (Image via Rockstar Games)\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1a6b8-17479061878916-1920.jpg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201080%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Phil Cassidy\u2019s lookalike was already seen in GTA 6 (Image via Rockstar Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Grand Theft Auto fans are debating whether or not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/is-phil-cassidy-gta-6-exploring-trailer-2-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Phil Cassidy appears in GTA 6<\/a>.

The upcoming game\u2019s character runs an Ammu-Nation store in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/why-bringing-vice-city-back-gta-6-significant-moment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">GTA 6\u2019s Vice City<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Veteran fans will surely admire if the character turns out to be Phil Cassidy, who previously appeared in Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and many other titles.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>2) Sam<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"GTA 3 Ped &amp; Mission Quotes - Ammu-Nation Guy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bQkaHa2HIWU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/youtube\" data-embed=\"bQkaHa2HIWU\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/de687-17479061986399-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/de687-17479061986399-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Similar to Phil, Sam can also be an Ammu-Nation clerk in GTA 6. Sam is a minor character who runs the Ammu-Nation businesses in 3D Universe Liberty City. An interesting fact about the GTA 3 character is that he is modeled and named after Rockstar Games\u2019 current President and Executive Producer, Sam Houser.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been many years since such special characters appeared in a Grand Theft Auto title. Therefore, the studio should consider bringing the Sam character back in the upcoming game.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Also read: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/5-lesser-known-facts-gta-3-map-might-surprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">5 lesser-known facts about the GTA 3 map that might surprise you<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>3) Donald Love<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"Donald Love (GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lw36rV3XGaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/youtube\" data-embed=\"Lw36rV3XGaw\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img loading=\"lazy\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1bf6e-17479062092822-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/1bf6e-17479062092822-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Donald Love is one of the few characters who have appeared or been mentioned in various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/full-list-gta-series-games-release-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Grand Theft Auto series games<\/a>.

However, he gives Claude five important missions over the payphone. Since his physical form is still unknown, Rockstar Games can easily introduce a character in Grand Theft Auto 6 by D-Ice\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the studio can simply bring back the original faceless character and make him provide missions to Jason and Lucia over the phone. Fans would love to see mysterious characters returning to the series after many years.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Also read: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/why-gta-6-trailer-3-delayed-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Why GTA 6 trailer 3 could be delayed until 2026<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>5) Misty<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Misty has a long history with the Grand Theft Auto series (Image via GTA Wiki, Rockstar Games)\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Misty has a long history with the Grand Theft Auto series (Image via GTA Wiki, Rockstar Games)\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/05\/4e277-17479062668980-1920.jpg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201080%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Misty has a long history with the Grand Theft Auto series (Image via GTA Wiki, Rockstar Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even though Misty is a minor GTA 3 character, she appears as one of the mom options for the GTA Online protagonist.

His immense love for the GTA series shines through in his work, which resonates with readers, with five of his articles having crossed the 100,000 reads mark each. Overall, his reads count stands at close to 8 million.<\/p>\n<p>GTA: Vice City served as Mridul&#8217;s introduction to Rockstar Games, and he has dedicatedly made his way through the publisher&#8217;s catalog since then. If given a chance, he would love to drop into the world of Bully and relive his school days. However, he would like to recommend Grand Theft Auto 4 to beginners due to the depth of its narrative and in-game mechanics.\n<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"author-know-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/author\/md-buzz69-lihku\" aria-label=\"Author know more\">Know More<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Ashmita Bhatt<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/gta\/5-gta-3-characters-return-gta-6\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The GTA 3 characters hold a special place among fans.
