GTA 6: Everything We Know About Rockstar's Biggest Game Ever

After over a decade of anticipation, Grand Theft Auto VI is finally on the horizon. Rockstar Games has confirmed the game for Fall 2025, and what we've seen so far suggests this will be the most ambitious open-world game ever created.

Return to Vice City

GTA VI takes players back to Vice City, Rockstar's neon-soaked tribute to Miami. But this isn't the 1980s Vice City from 2002—this is a modern, evolving metropolis complete with social media influencers, crypto bros, and Florida Man headlines that could have been ripped from today's news.

The map is reportedly the largest in Rockstar history, spanning not just Vice City itself but also surrounding swamplands, beaches, and smaller towns inspired by the Florida Keys.

Dual Protagonists: Lucia and Jason

For the first time in the series, GTA VI features a female protagonist. Lucia, a Latina woman recently released from prison, teams up with Jason in a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired crime spree. Players will be able to switch between both characters, similar to GTA V's three-protagonist system.

The dynamic between Lucia and Jason is said to be central to the narrative, with their relationship evolving based on player choices and mission outcomes.

Living, Evolving World

Rockstar has emphasized that GTA VI's world will feel more alive than any previous game:

• Dynamic events: Hurricanes, festivals, and random encounters that change the world
• NPC routines: Characters with daily schedules and relationships
• Social media parody: An in-game social network that reacts to player actions
• Evolving economy: Prices and opportunities change based on world events

What About GTA Online?

Rockstar has confirmed that GTA VI will include an online component, but details remain scarce. Given the massive success of GTA Online (which has generated over $8 billion in revenue), expect a robust multiplayer experience at launch or shortly after.

PC Release

The initial announcement confirms PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only. A PC version hasn't been announced but is widely expected to follow 12-18 months after the console release, following Rockstar's typical pattern.

Why This Matters

GTA V has sold over 200 million copies, making it the second best-selling video game of all time. GTA VI isn't just a game launch—it's a cultural event that will likely break every entertainment record in its path.
