GTA 6
Grand Theft Auto VI is the next entry in Rockstar Games' open-world crime series. Set in the fictional state of Leonida — home to neon-soaked Vice City — GTA 6 follows dual protagonists Lucia and Jason in a modern-day Bonnie-and-Clyde story.
Grand Theft Auto VI returns to Vice City for the first time in over two decades. The game takes place across the sprawling state of Leonida, a fictionalized version of Florida that spans urban cityscapes, swampy everglades, and suburban beach towns. Players control Lucia and Jason, a pair of lovers turned career criminals navigating the high-stakes underworld.
Setting & story
Leonida is Rockstar's largest open world to date, larger than GTA V's Los Santos and Blaine County combined. The map includes Vice City (the main urban hub), Port Gellhorn, Kelly County, and the Leonida Everglades. The story is inspired by modern Bonnie-and-Clyde tales, with Lucia as a Hispanic woman and Jason as her partner — the first dual-protagonist structure in the series since GTA V.
Gameplay enhancements
- Dynamic NPC interactions — citizens react to weather, time of day, and player reputation.
- Expanded vehicle pool with over 200 vehicles at launch, including boats and aircraft.
- Advanced physics and damage modeling based on Rockstar's RAGE engine improvements.
- Improved police AI with realistic pursuit behaviors and non-lethal takedown options.
Online mode
GTA Online will return as a separate experience launching shortly after the single-player release. Leaks suggest a live-service model with seasonal content drops, player-owned businesses expanded from GTA Online 1.0, and crossplay between console platforms. PC Online release timing remains unannounced.
