More than a decade after the last installment of “Grand Theft Auto” released, players are finally getting “GTA 6” on Nov. 19. Per the official description for “GTA 6” from publisher Rockstar Games, “Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida – forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.” With three more months until the game’s official release, here is everything we know about “Grand Theft Auto VI.” The game is currently set to release on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S devices, meaning it won’t be available to play on older generations of the gaming consoles.
There is no confirmation on when it will arrive on the PC, but previous “GTA” games have been released on consoles before expanding to PCs later. Rockstar’s “GTA” franchise is already known for its photorealistic characters and lifelike movements, and “GTA 6” will be no different. On Aug. 27, Netflix released an extended preview of the game captured entirely on PlayStation 5.
The preview teases Jason and Lucia in scenes across the fictional Vice City, the Miami-inspired city players are familiar with. But “GTA 6” expands beyond city limits into Leonida, inspired by Florida, which is home to various distinct regions, like the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Mount Kalaga and an area called Ambrosia. Players who have allegedly seen the game say the map for “GTA 6” is significantly larger than the playable area in previous games.
Rockstar has not officially confirmed this. Protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Camino are at the center of “GTA 6,” where their odds are seemingly stacked against them. When a score goes wrong for the duo, “they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America,” the official website states.
Now stuck in the midst of a criminal conspiracy in the fictional state of Leonida, Jason and Lucia must put their full trust in each other if they want a chance at making it out alive. Jason and Lucia are at the forefront of the game’s narrative, with Lucia recently being released from prison. Seeing Jason as a way to leave her troubled past behind and reaching the “good life” her mom used to tell her of, the pair form a Bonnie-and-Clyde-esque relationship in the world of drug runners.
Below is a list of additional characters confirmed in “GTA 6.” Cal Hampton — Jason’s friend and Brian’s associate who prefers “snooping on Coast Guard comms” from the comfort of his own home Boobie Ike — A Vice City legend with an empire made up of real estate, a strip club and a recording studio Dre’Quan Priest — A hustling aspiring musician ready to leave the days of performing at Boobie’s strip club behind after recently signing under Real Dimez Bae-Luxe and Roxy — also known as Real Dimez, the two have been best friends since high school.
