Platforms
At launch, GTA 6 is confirmed for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only — no last-gen consoles. A PC version has not been confirmed for launch day; based on Rockstar's history it's likely to follow later. We dig into the timing in Will GTA 6 Come to PC?
Setting
The game takes place in the fictional state of Leonida (a stand-in for Florida), with a present-day Vice City as its urban core, surrounded by beaches, wetlands, rural towns and coastal islands. See the full breakdown in every confirmed location in Leonida.
Characters
The two confirmed leads are Jason and Lucia, played as a dual-protagonist duo. Rockstar has teased a wider supporting cast but published few details. Our confirmed characters database tracks who's real and who's rumour.
What's NOT confirmed
Keep your expectations grounded — these remain officially unconfirmed:
- A PC release or its date.
- Exact map size, or a second major city.
- Named gangs/factions and a full character roster (see our gangs guide).
- The online/multiplayer plan and its launch timing.
- Pricing, editions and pre-order specifics.
- Full vehicle and weapon lists (see vehicles we've seen).
The bottom line
The confirmed core is clear: November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, set in Leonida with Jason and Lucia leading. Everything else is still developing — and this hub is where we'll keep it all straight.
This roundup is updated as Rockstar confirms new details, and will get a full refresh when GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026.
