What is GTA 6?
Everything we know so far about Rockstar's most ambitious open world to date.
Two leads, one story
For the first time in the series, you follow a duo: Lucia and her partner Jason. Their Bonnie-and-Clyde story drives a campaign that weaves between both characters.
A living, breathing world
Dynamic weather, denser crowds, reactive AI and a heavily upgraded physics engine make Leonida feel alive — from social-media-obsessed locals to ever-changing in-world events.
Online from the ground up
Rockstar is building the next evolution of online play on the foundations of GTA 6, designed to grow for years after launch with new content, heists and businesses.

GTA 6 — frequently asked questions
Rockstar Games has GTA 6 scheduled for November 19, 2026. Release windows can shift, so our live countdown always reflects the latest confirmed date and we update it the moment Rockstar announces a change.
GTA 6 launches first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC version has not been dated yet, but — as with previous Grand Theft Auto titles — it is widely expected to follow some time after the console release.
The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, a reimagining of Florida centred on a modern Vice City. It is the biggest and most detailed open world Rockstar has ever created.
GTA 6 stars a duo, Lucia and Jason. Lucia is the first playable female protagonist in the modern GTA era, and the story follows the two of them in a crime-spree narrative inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.
