Story: what GTA 6 is about
Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. When an easy score goes wrong in Vice City, they are pulled into a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state of Leonida, and they have to rely on each other to survive. It is the first modern mainline entry with a playable female protagonist, and the relationship between the two is the heart of the story.

The map: Leonida’s six regions
Rockstar has not published a full official map, but it has introduced the state’s six areas. The maps going around online are fan projects or leaks, not official material.
- Vice City: the capital of sun and glamour, with neighborhoods like Ocean Beach and Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market and the VC Port cruise hub.
- Leonida Keys: a laid-back tropical island chain surrounded by waters as beautiful as they are dangerous.
- Grassrivers: a vast, untamed wetland with alligators and more than one surprise among the mangroves.
- Port Gellhorn: Leonida’s forgotten coast, full of cheap motels, closed attractions and empty strip malls.
- Ambrosia: an industrial town dominated by a sugar refinery and a biker gang.
- Mount Kalaga National Park: the north of the state, with hunting, fishing and off-road trails.
Confirmed gameplay
In August 2026 Rockstar showed more than 26 minutes of the game, captured on PS5, in “Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look”. This is what it showed:
- Two playable protagonists. Several outlets describe switching between Jason and Lucia during play.
- Slower, more physical combat, closer to Red Dead Redemption 2, with a weapon wheel and the ability to pick weapons up off the ground.
- A wanted system with six stars on the HUD.
- Context-sensitive actions with menus similar to Red Dead Redemption 2, and quiet car theft with a slim jim.
- A smartphone with calls and text messages, and a money counter.
- Quick accessory swaps (hats, sunglasses, face coverings) from a radial menu.
- A denser world, with more traffic and pedestrians than previous entries.
