With Grand Theft Auto VI launching on November 19, 2026, here is a clean, no-hype summary of everything Rockstar has actually confirmed — and a clear line between fact and speculation.
The confirmed essentials
- Release date: November 19, 2026
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
- PC: Not announced (no date or window)
- Price: $79.99 Standard / $99.99 Ultimate
- Setting: The state of Leonida, including a modern Vice City
- Protagonists: Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval
- Developer / publisher: Rockstar Games / Take-Two Interactive
Setting: welcome back to Vice City
GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, Rockstar's take on Florida, with a modern reimagining of Vice City — the Miami-inspired city last seen in 2002's GTA: Vice City — at its heart. Trailers show neon strips, beaches, swamps, and small towns, suggesting a world that stretches well beyond the city itself. The exact map size is unconfirmed; treat specific square-mileage claims as speculation.
Characters: a Bonnie-and-Clyde duo
For the first time in the series, GTA 6 headlines two playable protagonists at once:
- Lucia Caminos — the series' first female lead in the 3D era, introduced fresh out of prison.
- Jason Duval — her partner, pulled into the same spiral of crime.
Rockstar describes them as two people who "have always known the deck is stacked against them," caught in a criminal conspiracy across Leonida after "an easy score goes wrong." Their relationship — romantic, loyal, volatile — is the emotional core of the story.
The trailers so far
