Introduction
GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated games ever. After years of waiting since its predecessor, both fans and media are buzzing. This article covers what we definitely know so far, what’s still a mystery, and why it matters for 2025-2026.
Release Date & Platforms
Originally expected in 2025, Rockstar has officially pushed the release date to November 19, 2026.
The game is confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC version is not yet officially confirmed.
This delay gives the developers more time to polish the game and reduce bugs at launch.
Setting, Map & Story
GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, and features a modern-day version of “Vice City” (based on Miami).
Players will follow two protagonists — Lucia Caminos (the series’ first main female lead) and Jason Duval — in a crime story filled with betrayals, partnerships and survival.
Map size is expected to be much larger than GTA V’s and include more dynamic locations — cities, countryside, aquatic zones and more exploration
Features & Gameplay Highlights
Here are some confirmed features:
-
Improved graphics with ray-traced lighting and far draw distances.
-
Vehicles, weapons and open-world elements that go beyond previous titles — underwater areas, wildlife, multiple locales.

The world will feel more alive: more NPCs, detailed environment interactions, realistic city atmosphere.
