Grand Theft Auto VI is officially scheduled to arrive November 19, 2026. After years of anticipation, Rockstar Games is preparing to take players back to Vice City — this time as part of the much larger state of Leonida.
With Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos at the center of the story, GTA 6 is shaping up to be Rockstar's biggest return to the Grand Theft Auto series yet. Here's a breakdown of the release date, setting, characters and other details officially confirmed so far.
GTA 6 Release Date
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026.
The game has experienced changes to its release schedule during development, so older GTA 6 articles may contain outdated dates. November 19, 2026 is the current official release date announced by Rockstar Games.
What Systems Will GTA 6 Be On?
Rockstar currently lists GTA 6 for:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X
- Xbox Series S
A PC version is not currently listed on Rockstar's official GTA 6 page, so PC players should wait for an official announcement rather than relying on rumored release dates.
GTA 6 Returns to Vice City
Vice City is officially back, but GTA 6 isn't limited to the familiar city.
Rockstar has placed Vice City inside the fictional state of Leonida, expanding the setting beyond the neon-lit streets and beaches associated with the classic Grand Theft Auto location.
The environments shown by Rockstar include urban areas, highways, beaches, waterways, the Leonida Keys and other locations throughout the state.
Meet Jason Duval
Jason Duval is one of GTA 6's two central characters. Rockstar describes Jason as someone who grew up around criminals and later spent time in the Army before becoming involved with drug runners in the Keys.
His relationship with Lucia appears to sit at the center of the game's story.
Meet Lucia Caminos
Lucia Caminos is GTA 6's other central protagonist.
Rockstar has revealed that Lucia spent time in the Leonida Penitentiary after fighting for her family. After getting out, she's focused on changing her circumstances and pursuing a better life.
Jason and Lucia eventually find themselves caught in a criminal conspiracy stretching across Leonida after a score goes wrong, forcing the pair to depend on one another.
More Characters in GTA 6
Rockstar has also introduced several additional characters who help populate Leonida, including Cal Hampton, Brian Heder, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest and Raul Bautista.
The characters suggest GTA 6 will explore several sides of Vice City's criminal and entertainment worlds, from robberies and smuggling to music and nightlife.
How Big Will GTA 6 Be?
Rockstar hasn't provided every technical detail about the final map, so claims about exact map size should still be treated as speculation.
What has been officially shown, however, makes it clear that the game extends beyond Vice City itself. Leonida contains multiple environments and communities for players to explore.
What GTA 6 Gameplay Can We Expect?
Rockstar has shown driving, nightlife, beaches, boats, criminal activity and numerous environments throughout Leonida, but players should be careful about treating rumors and leaked information as confirmed gameplay features.
Until Rockstar provides complete gameplay details, the safest approach is separating what appears in official trailers and promotional material from online speculation.
GTA 6 Trailer 2
Rockstar's second GTA 6 trailer provided a much deeper look at Jason and Lucia, their relationship and the world surrounding them.
It also introduced additional characters and gave players a better look at the atmosphere Rockstar is creating throughout Leonida.
Will GTA 6 Have GTA Online?
Rockstar has not yet provided all of the details about the future online experience associated with GTA 6. Until those details are officially announced, claims about specific online modes, features or launch timing should be considered unconfirmed.
Why GTA 6 Is Such a Major Release
Grand Theft Auto V originally arrived in 2013 and went on to remain relevant across multiple console generations.
That unusually long gap between major numbered entries has helped turn GTA 6 into one of the most anticipated video game releases in years.
Returning to Vice City while expanding into Leonida also gives Rockstar an opportunity to revisit one of the franchise's most recognizable locations on modern hardware.
