GTA VI world map

Vice City, Leonida Keys, Ambrosia, Port Gellhorn and Grassrivers make up the map so far — from dense urban core to swamp, coastline and farmland, all confirmed through trailer footage.

All GTA 6 facts on Grand Theft Auto VI appear here in a single location before November 19, 2026.

Grand Theft Auto VI situates gameplay within Leonida a Florida proxy featuring Vice City as its illuminated urban focus. Jason Duval alongside Lucia Caminos portray partners in a Bonnie and Clyde style offense sequence expanding from petty acts to larger scale according to Rockstar Games' official announcement.

Rockstar calls the GTA 6 open world its biggest creation, with seamless travel across cities, swamps and towns. The two trailers reveal an authentic environment that includes references to the 1980s Vice City in today's context — check production details on Wikipedia.

A GTA 6 review cannot be written yet since the title is unreleased and the GTA 6 single player campaign length remains unknown at this stage.

The GTA 6 odds of further delays appear low after the latest confirmation though the GTA 6 countdown timer on fan sites helps track progress to launch.

What's new

Confirmed Key Features

No complete list exists from Rockstar yet. Trailers and statements reveal changes compared to GTA V. Details come from official footage rather than rumors, offering the best current view of features.

We sorted the information according to core gameplay systems such as character control, world responses and visual presentation on current hardware.

Dual playable leads

During missions players can alternate between Lucia and Jason, marking the initial instance where the franchise centers its narrative on a pair of main characters instead of a single or triple focus.

Visuals

Online
Not yet detailed

Additional GTA VI Details That Are Verified

Rockstar statements plus the pair of trailers create a clear view on gameplay feel outside the main date and actors. We assembled sections on cars, fights, environment reactions and overall mood here, sorted for easy access to preferred subjects.

VEHICLES & WEAPONS

Confirmed Vehicles at This Stage

Various vehicle categories appear in trailers, such as muscle cars, pickups, airboats and small planes. This supports the idea that Leonida allows smooth travel across land, water and sky.

GTA 6 features visible in trailers include various vehicle types suited to Leonida terrain and GTA 6 sales so far cannot be assessed before the game reaches stores.

A GTA 6 leak has suggested additional vehicle options for traversal in Leonida, but Rockstar has not confirmed any specific models or categories beyond the general variety visible in trailers, meaning the full selection of cars, boats and aircraft remains unknown.

  • Traditional US muscle cars appear, with some updates based on GTA V versions.
  • Trucks and work vehicles fit for countryside areas in Ambrosia.
  • Airboats allow movement through swamps and shallow waters.
  • Bikes navigate crowded streets in Vice City.

Combat and Weapons

Limited combat scenes exist, yet trailers feature pistols and makeshift close combat tools during key moments. This matches the franchise's established weapons instead of major changes. No complete weapon roster exists yet.

GTA 6 target platforms are limited to current generation consoles at launch while the GTA 6 rated classification has not been issued by rating boards.

NPC Actions and World Simulation

Crowds look thicker in footage, with NPCs responding uniquely to situations instead of set patterns. Rockstar highlights this upgrade as key for a natural Leonida feel.

SOUND & VOICE

Radio Stations

No station list has come from Rockstar so far. Veterans anticipate new tracks mixed with old ones, as seen in past games, usually shown near release via special promos.

Fans often check the GTA 6 countdown in the lead up to release, yet no details on radio stations have been shared by the studio so far, with the expectation that track listings will only surface through later promotions similar to previous entries in the series.

Voice Cast

The cast stays mostly hidden by Rockstar, matching their standard method that skips star announcements before launch. Confirmed casting info gets added to this page.
