Grand Theft Auto VI is, without question, the most anticipated video game in history. After more than a decade since GTA V, Rockstar Games is preparing its next masterpiece. This article compiles absolutely everything known as of June 2026.

Story and setting

GTA VI takes place in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, with Vice City as its central metropolis. The story follows Lucia and Jason, a criminal couple whose relationship echoes Bonnie and Clyde. Lucia is the first playable female protagonist in the modern series.

The narrative will be more mature and character-driven than previous entries. Rockstar has confirmed the story can be completed solo.

Map and open world

Leonida's map will be the largest and densest Rockstar has ever created. It includes Vice City (a coastal metropolis), the Keys, swamps, rural areas and smaller towns. Accessible interiors, diverse wildlife and dynamic weather cycles are expected.

Gameplay

Leaks point to overhauled combat mechanics, improved cover system, underwater swimming, and the ability to manage properties and businesses as part of the campaign. The game's economy would be dynamic, with prices that shift based on your actions.

Online comes later

Rockstar describes the launch as "a single-player experience" and has not announced an online mode for 19 November. The only official detail is an in-development "online 32 player format" mentioned in the company's own court filings. Here is what we know.
