GTA 6 Character Switch: Free, Mission-Locked, Forced, In-Mission Free

Four labelled modes from Nelson/Famitsu + Extended Look coverage:

1. Open-world free — switch when together/apart rules allow (Press-reported)
2. Mission-locked — switch disabled in some beats (Press-reported)
3. Forced auto-swap — e.g. Raul chase style beats (Press-reported)
4. Free inside specific missions — allowed mid-mission when designers open it (Press-reported)

Timing notes about instant vs delayed when apart are recap of preview coverage, not a 69-list invention.

HUD/switch UX details beyond those modes stay Unconfirmed until ship.

See wanted for couple descriptions. Launch 19 Nov 2026.
