Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is easily the most anticipated video game of the decade. Developed by Rockstar Games, it marks the first main entry in the legendary franchise since GTA V launched back in 2013.
Here is a breakdown of what makes GTA 6 so massive—including its setting, the story, and when you can finally play it.
1. Setting: Welcome Back to Vice City
The map is expected to be the largest and most dynamic in franchise history, featuring several distinct areas:
Vice City A sprawling, neon-soaked metropolis inspired by modern Miami. It ranges from the glitz of Ocean Beach to dense urban neighborhoods.
The Grassrivers A massive wetland region based on the Florida Everglades, complete with dangerous wildlife and swampy marshlands.
The Leonida Keys A laid-back, tropical string of islands modeled after the Florida Keys.
Port Gellhorn & Ambrosia: Shabby resort towns, industrial hubs, and rural backcountry areas that flesh out the state’s eccentric variety.
2. Story: A Bonnie & Clyde Dynamic
For the first time in the franchise, the narrative is built around a romantic duo who must rely heavily on each other to survive after a heist goes wrong.
Lucia Caminos The series’ first non-optional female protagonist. She has a tough background, spending time imprisoned in Leonida after fighting for her family in Liberty City.
Jason Duval An ex-military soldier who fell back into a life of crime, working as a muscle for local drug runners in the Keys.
