GTA-6 Everything We Know So Far: Release Date, Protagonists, Features
Rockstar has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA-6) is set to release on May 26, 2026. The game takes place in the fictional U.S. state of Leonida, returning players to a modern version of Vice City, and expanding into surrounding areas including rural regions and swamps inspired by places like Florida.
GTA-6 will feature two protagonists: Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, who together are immersed in a Bonnie-and-Clyde style crime narrative, woven with a large conspiracy at its core.
It’s confirmed the game will launch first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no initial release planned for PS4, Xbox One, or PC—though a PC release is expected later.
Gameplay improvements include enhanced weapon systems, improved stealth mechanics, updated police AI, and more dynamic environments.
