Platforms and availability

Grand Theft Auto VI is confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with digital pre-orders available through the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. Rockstar offers Standard and Ultimate editions, while a physical Standard Edition will also be sold through retailers; the physical package contains a download code rather than a game disc.

Gameplay and setting

Grand Theft Auto VI is a single-player action-adventure built around Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as they move through criminal jobs and escalating scores across Leonida. Rockstar's current material confirms vehicles, weapons, garages, vehicle customization, clothing and appearance customization, boats, off-road activities, stolen-goods fencing, location-based businesses, and other activities threaded through Jason and Lucia's story. Their central story begins when an easy score goes wrong and draws them into a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida, including modern-day Vice City and areas such as the Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, Grassrivers, and Mount Kalaga National Park.
