The game was announced for 2025 and was delayed twice, first to May 26, 2026 and then to the current date. The full timeline is in the history of GTA 6 delays.

Platforms: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

Current-generation consoles only. The official site highlights the PlayStation 5 version as the best-performing one. There is no PS4 or Xbox One version, and the PC version has no date (more on that below).

Price and editions

• Standard Edition: $79.99 (£69.99 / €79.99). The base game. Sold digitally and as a box containing a download code, not a disc.
• Ultimate Edition: $99.99 (£89.99 / €99.99). Adds exclusive vehicles, custom weapons, clothing and stores within the story.
• Pre-order bonus (Vintage Vice City Pack): for digital purchases made before November 20 and physical pre-orders while stocks last.

We compare everything in GTA 6 editions, price and pre-order bonus.

Protagonists: Jason and Lucia

For the first time in the main series, the story revolves around a couple. Lucia Caminos walks out of Leonida Penitentiary determined to change her life. Jason Duval is an army veteran working for drug runners in the Keys. A job gone wrong drags them into a conspiracy that spans the whole state. You can switch between them while you play.

Read the full article in Jason and Lucia, the protagonists, or the profiles of Lucia, Jason and the rest of the cast.

The map: Leonida and Vice City

Leonida is Rockstar’s version of Florida. Besides Vice City, it has five more confirmed regions: the Leonida Keys, the Grassrivers wetlands, the coastal town of Port Gellhorn, the industrial area of Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. There is no official figure for the size of the map.

Each region is explained in what the GTA 6 map looks like, and our illustration is on the map page.

Gameplay: what has been shown

The extended look in August 2026 showed real gameplay for the first time:

• Switching protagonists between Jason and Lucia, plus the two texting each other during missions.
• Cover-based shootouts, robberies and carjackings.
• Safehouses you can explore.
• Open-world activities such as diving and gyms.
• A six-star wanted system. We use the same stars to rate the difficulty of our guides.

Trailers

There are four official videos: Trailer 1 (December 2023), Trailer 2 (May 2025), “An Extended Look” (August 2026, premiered on Netflix) and the launch trailer (October 2026). We go through them one by one in every GTA 6 trailer.

PC version

No date. Take-Two says console players are the core audience and that PC announcements will come from Rockstar. Historically, GTA V took about 19 months to reach PC and Red Dead Redemption 2 about 13. More in GTA 6 on PC.

Online mode
