Release and Platforms
When does GTA 6 come out? GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026. This was confirmed by Rockstar in Trailer 2 (May 2025).
What platforms is GTA 6 on? GTA 6 launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. No other platforms have been announced.
Is GTA 6 coming to PC? No PC release has been announced. Based on Rockstar's pattern with GTA V and RDR2, a PC version in 2028 is the most likely scenario.

Will there be a Nintendo Switch 2 version? No announcement has been made, and the scope of GTA 6 makes a Switch 2 port challenging. Don't expect it.
Story and Characters
Who are the protagonists of GTA 6? GTA 6 has two playable protagonists: Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval. They are partners — romantically and criminally — operating in the fictional state of Leonida.
Is there a female protagonist in GTA 6? Yes. Lucia is the first playable female protagonist in mainline Grand Theft Auto history. She is one of two protagonists.
Where is GTA 6 set? GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional version of Florida. The game's major city is Vice City, a modernized version of the Miami-inspired city from GTA: Vice City (2002).
What is the story about? Based on trailer information, GTA 6's story follows Lucia and Jason as a criminal couple navigating escalating conflict in Leonida. The setup draws on Bonnie and Clyde iconography and Florida crime culture. Full story details are under Rockstar's embargo.
Can you switch between Lucia and Jason? Based on GTA V's mechanic, character switching between both protagonists is expected. Exact mechanics have not been officially confirmed.
Gameplay and Features
How big is the GTA 6 map? No official map size has been confirmed. Based on trailers and Rockstar's statements, most estimates suggest the map will be 1.5–2x larger than GTA V's, with significant rural and coastal variety.
Will GTA 6 have cheat codes? Every mainline GTA game has had cheat codes. GTA 6 almost certainly will too. No official codes have been revealed. Find all confirmed cheats at GTA6Loot Cheats once the game launches.
Does GTA 6 have character customization? Confirmed for GTA 6 Online based on Rockstar's precedent. Story mode protagonist customization details have not been officially confirmed.
Will GTA 6 have vehicles you can customize? Yes. Vehicle customization is a core GTA feature and will almost certainly be present in GTA 6, expanded from GTA V's system.
GTA 6 Online
Will GTA 6 Online launch on day one? Yes. Rockstar confirmed GTA 6 Online will be available at launch, with a major update following in the weeks after release.
Will GTA 6 Online have microtransactions? Almost certainly. Take-Two's financial model relies on GTA Online's premium currency system. Whether the implementation is more or less aggressive than GTA V's is unknown.
What happens to GTA V and GTA Online? GTA V and GTA Online will continue to be available. They are separate products on separate platforms. GTA Online progress does not transfer to GTA 6.
Will GTA 6 be always online for single-player? No. Rockstar has never required online connectivity for single-player in any of their games, and GTA 6's story mode is expected to work fully offline.
Price and Pre-Orders
How much does GTA 6 cost? Official pricing has not been announced. The standard edition is expected at $70, consistent with current-generation pricing.
When can I pre-order GTA 6? Official pre-orders have not yet opened. Monitor Rockstar Newswire and GTA6Loot News for the announcement.
