Everything We Know About ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’
Developing story first seen 5 hours ago
Pre-orders for “Grand Theft Auto VI” opened on 25 June, with Rockstar Games pricing the standard edition at $79.99 ahead of its planned 19 November release. The long-awaited sequel is significant because it arrives more than a decade after the previous main instalment and has endured leaks, delays and wider economic uncertainty during its development.
The game will launch first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, while a PC version has not been confirmed. It follows Jason Duval and Lucia Camino after a failed score entangles them in a criminal conspiracy across Leonida, Rockstar’s Florida-inspired setting containing Vice City and several other regions. Rockstar has confirmed supporting characters and locations, but reports that the map is larger than previous games and rumours about the lead actors remain unverified.
