Return to Vice City
Head back to the iconic Vice City in an all-new blockbuster adventure. Explore the sprawling city and beyond in the state of Leonida. From the art deco stylings of the neon-drenched coastal city to the natural wonders of flooded grasslands and the tropical island chain of the Leonida Keys, guide Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos through one of the biggest maps in the series.
GTA 6 packs next-generation graphics with mind-blowing game physics and a vibrant setting along with Rockstar’s trademark satirical humour and cinematic action with some incredible features.
GTA VI is set to release on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles on the 19th November 2026. We'll bring you any changes to this date and pre-order details as they happen.
A familiar city reimagined
- Dive into a dual protagonist, Bonnie and Clyde-style story starring Jason and Lucia with real-time character switching
- Return to modern-day Vice City and explore the vast state of Leonida in the largest map in the series
- Enter a vast range of buildings, including shops, clubs and restaurants with detailed interiors
- Advanced police AI with officers responding to witness reports and remembering your description for more realistic encounters
- Enhanced health stats come with a new weight change system based on your diet and exercise
- An all-new inventory system limits what you can carry on your character, with excess items stored in a fixed location for you to swap out and access on the go.
Visit Los Santos while you wait
If November feels too long to wait, take a visit to the celebrity and social media-obsessed city of Los Santos and the wider state of San Andreas in GTA V.
From the dense streets dotted with industry, commerce and high-rise towers of the city of Los Santos, to the mountainous region around Mount Chilead and the baked desert area of Blaine County, there's a huge map to explore. And with a vast story mode and an online multiplayer mode filled with activities to enjoy with friends, GTA V will keep you busy until we return to Vice City.
FAQs
When does GTA VI release?
At present, GTA VI is due to launch on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles on the 19th November 2026. This date could shift, so keep checking back for updates as and when we receive them from the developer.
How big will the map be in GTA VI?
While there's no concrete information on this, it's fairly safe to estimate that it will be bigger than it's predecessors. Speculation wildly varies, but if rumours turn out to be correct, the map could be as much as twice the size of GTA V, or bigger.
Will GTA VI feature an online multiplayer mode?
A lot of information has been released by developers about what we can expect from the story mode for GTA VI, but no information has come out as yet regarding an online multiplayer mode. That said, given the continued popularity of the current GTA Online and the regular updates and new content, it would be reasonable to anticipate a new online mode to enjoy alongside GTA VI.
