Grand Theft Auto VI is an upcoming video game published by Rockstar Games and developed by Rockstar Studios. It will be the eighth main game in the Grand Theft Auto series, following Grand Theft Auto V. Originally scheduled to be released in late 2025, Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed twice and the release date is now set to November 19, 2026, due to "unforeseen circumstances" according to Rockstar. It will come out first for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, while a PC release has not yet been announced. On June 25, 2026, pre-orders officially began, after the cover art has been revealed on June 18, 2026.

On December 4, 2023, Rockstar released a trailer for the game. Later, Netflix released an "extended look" at the game on August 27, 2026.

Plot

In July 2022, it was reported that the main characters of Grand Theft Auto VI would be a man named Jason and a woman named Lucia. They are influenced by the criminal duo Bonnie and Clyde. It was also revealed that the game will take place in Vice City.

Development

On September 18, 2022, a leak was released and was later confirmed to be real by Rockstar. In the leak, there were 90 videos posted which showed footage of the game in a work-in-progress state. A 17-year-old from Oxfordshire who is believed to have posted the leak under the username "teapotuberhacker" was arrested on 22 September. A judge would sentence him to an indefinite hospital order since he said that he would still do cybercrime if he was released.

Setting

The game is set in Leonida, a fictional US state based on Florida. The largest city will be Vice City, a fictional city based on Miami (pictured).

The game takes place in several counties in the fictional state of Leonida. To date, three counties have been identified by name via trailers and promotional material. The entire playable area of Leonida has yet to be officially revealed.
