GTA 6: everything Rockstar has confirmed, from Leonida's map to Jason and Lucia

What Rockstar has not published: a PC version or PC requirements, a full map or its size, per-console resolution and frame-rate modes, a complete cast list, and the full list of text and voice languages. When a claim about any of these reaches you, treat it as unconfirmed until it appears on a Rockstar, PlayStation or Xbox page.

How the release date got to November 19

The date has moved twice, and both moves were announced on Rockstar Newswire.

• December 2023: Trailer 1 announced the game for 2025 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
• May 2, 2025: Rockstar moved the release to May 26, 2026. Trailer 2 followed on May 6, 2025.
• November 6, 2025: Rockstar moved it again, to Thursday, November 19, 2026, saying the extra months would let the team finish the game "with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve."
• June 25, 2026: pre-orders opened worldwide at midnight local time.
• August 27, 2026: Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look, which it says was "captured entirely from in-game footage on the PlayStation 5."
• September 17, 2026: Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, 34 original tracks made with Atlantic Records, releasing on November 19 with the game.

Digital pre-orders can pre-load from November 12, 2026. For the unlock time in your region, see the release time and countdown page.

Which platforms are confirmed

Only two console families are official: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PlayStation's store page lists the game as PS5 Pro Enhanced and states plainly that "the game is not playable on PlayStation 4." Xbox lists the game for Xbox Series X|S only.

There is no PC version on Rockstar's page, and no PC date or system requirements anywhere on Rockstar's sites. The PC status page tracks this one question.

Where GTA 6 is set

Rockstar describes the setting as "Vice City, USA" and "the darkest side of the sunniest place in America," with a criminal conspiracy "stretching across the state of Leonida." The Only in Leonida page calls it "the sunshine state" and invites players to "tour a few of the must-see destinations." The resemblance to Florida is clear, but Rockstar itself never names Florida, and Leonida is a fictional state.

The page names six destinations, each with its own "Explore" panel:

Destination	What Rockstar has published
Vice City	The neon city at the heart of the game; a return to "modern day Vice City"
Leonida Keys	Named destination; Jason's and Brian's profiles both mention "the Keys"
Grassrivers	Named destination, no published boundaries
Port Gellhorn	Named destination, no published boundaries
Ambrosia	Named destination, no published boundaries
Mount Kalaga	Named destination, no published boundaries

The character profiles add two more official place names: the Leonida Penitentiary, where Lucia served time, and Liberty City, where she and her mother lived before Leonida.

What Rockstar has not said about the map

Rockstar's wording, "a few of the must-see destinations," means the six names are a minimum, not a complete list. There is no official map image, square-mile figure, count of towns or size comparison with GTA V. "The biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet" is Rockstar's description of the game as a whole, not a measurement of the map.

Fan-made maps built from trailer frames can be careful work, but they are reconstructions. Their roads, borders and distances are estimates, and none of them is an official or leaked map.

Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos

Rockstar's story summary: Jason and Lucia "have always known the deck is stacked against them," and when "an easy score goes wrong," they end up in a conspiracy across Leonida, "forced to rely on each other more than ever."

Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he ended up in the Keys working for local drug runners. Rockstar says meeting Lucia "could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him."

Lucia learned to fight from her father. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary, and "sheer luck" got her out. She wants the good life her mother has dreamed of since their Liberty City days, and Rockstar says a life with Jason "could be her way out."

The rest of the official cast

Rockstar profiles six more characters or acts, in two circles.

Around Jason:

• Cal Hampton, Jason's friend and a fellow associate of Brian's, feels safest at home listening in on Coast Guard radio traffic. Rockstar sums him up with "casual paranoia."
• Brian Heder is an old-school smuggler from the Keys who still moves product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori. He lets Jason live rent-free at one of his properties as long as Jason helps with local shakedowns.

Vice City's music and crime scene:

• Boobie Ike is a local legend who turned his street years into a legitimate business in real estate, a club and a recording studio. His main bet is Only Raw Records with Dre'Quan.
• Dre'Quan Priest was "always more of a hustler than a gangster," and music was always the goal. He has now signed Real Dimez.
• Real Dimez are Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school. An early hit with local rapper DWNPLY lifted them; five years later they are signed to Only Raw Records.
• Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber looking for people willing to take big risks. His recklessness "raises the stakes with every score."

What the profiles do not tell you

The profiles are not a complete cast list. They give no ages, no voice actors and no statement of which characters are playable beyond the two leads Rockstar puts at the centre of the story. Rockstar has published no actor credits. Relationships guessed from trailer scenes stay outside the official record until Rockstar publishes them.

Editions and pre-order bonuses in brief

Rockstar sells a Standard and an Ultimate Edition. All pre-orders and purchases before November 20, 2026 get the Vintage Vice City Pack, and digital pre-orders include a free month of GTA+. Rockstar's store says the physical version contains only a download code, with no disc in the box. Store-by-store prices and bonuses are on the pre-order guide, and the item-level differences are in Standard vs Ultimate Edition.

How a claim changes status

A claim moves to "confirmed" only when Rockstar, PlayStation or Xbox states it on a page we can link. Silence is not a denial, so a missing detail stays "unconfirmed" rather than "false." "Contradicted" means an official page says the opposite, and "misleading" means the claim stretches a real statement further than its wording allows. Leaks, datamines, insider posts and fan maps do not change a status, however often they are repeated.

Where to check next

If your question is about launch timing, open the release time and countdown page. For the order and content of every official video, use the showcase timeline, and for what Rockstar has said about online play, read GTA Online and GTA+ around the launch. To verify anything on this page yourself, Rockstar's own Grand Theft Auto VI page is the first place a change will appear.
