How to switch characters in GTA 5 (Grand Theft Auto 5)

GTA 5 became the first game in the franchise to offer three distinct basic characters inside the single-player campaign and allowed players to switch between the three characters at any time.
This choice generated much intrigue from fans and media retailers alike, as this type of technology had never before been used in an open-world game of this scale.
The player can select variations of the game’s 3 main characters: Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. After players have completed leveling up their GTA: Online character, they can also go straight to their online persona to begin gambling in GTA: Online.
Interchanging between switch characters in GTA 5 is extremely easy and the game does a top-notch job of explaining the mechanics by incorporating them into story missions rather than educational ones.
However, gamers jumping back into GTA 5 may have likely missed a step or forgotten GTA 5’s controls and many of the gameplay mechanics.
Here’s how you can change/switch characters in GTA 5:
- While moving without stopping in GTA 5, press the “LAlt” key (the default control key for switching male or female) and hold the key.
- A wheel with all three letters will appear at the bottom right of the screen.
- Use YOUR MOUSE to move around and select the character you want to exchange with.
During battles during story assignments, sometimes the wheel prompts you to switch to another persona, you can press the “LAlt” key to instantly switch to another persona on the GTA 5 computer.
All three characters in GTA 5 have unique abilities that you can use as you complete story ventures, with:
- Michael can slow down time while taking pictures.
- Franklin can slow down time, increasing handling while riding.
- Trevor can enter a state of rage, dealing additional damage to enemies while the damage he takes is reduced.
