Grand Theft Auto VI 2026
Coming November 19, 2026Action-adventure
Grand Theft Auto VI is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed and published by Rockstar Games. It will serve as the eighth primary installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, after 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V, and the sixteenth overall entry. The narrative takes place within the fictional U.S. state of Leonida, which draws inspiration from Florida. Players will control the criminal pair Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. The open world environment allows free exploration of Leonida, featuring a Vice City inspired by Miami.
Development on the title started in 2014, shortly after the release of its predecessor. Principal production began after the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018. Since then, Rockstar's global development teams have more than doubled in size compared to that project. Extensive research was conducted on Miami and surrounding regions for world-building, with the setting parodying 2020s American culture. The dynamic between the protagonists is modeled after Bonnie and Clyde, while non-player characters (NPCs) were created to reflect distinct areas of Vice City.
Preliminary work started in 2014, with production intensifying following Red Dead Redemption 2. In February 2022, Rockstar confirmed the project's development. That September, leaked footage from early builds was widely reported as one of the most significant leaks in video game history. The game was officially unveiled in December 2023. After two delays, additional leaks, and a major marketing push, Grand Theft Auto VI is set for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
