Pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026.

GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It will NOT be available on PS4 or Xbox One. This is a current-generation exclusive.

The base edition of GTA 6 costs $79.99 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S — confirmed when pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026. Higher-tier editions with additional content were announced alongside pre-orders at premium price points.

Yes. Multiple editions of GTA 6 were announced when pre-orders opened on June 25, 2026, with higher tiers offering additional content beyond the $79.99 base edition. Check Rockstar's official store pages for current edition details.

A PC version has not been officially announced for launch. Based on Rockstar's history — GTA V released on consoles in September 2013 and PC in April 2015 — a PC release of GTA 6 is widely anticipated 12–24 months after the console launch. Rockstar has not commented on a PC version.

Official PC system requirements have not been announced because the PC version hasn't been confirmed. Based on GTA 6's visual fidelity shown in trailers, community analysts estimate the game will require at minimum a mid-range GPU (RTX 3080 / RX 6800 XT level), 16–32 GB RAM, and an NVMe SSD.

Lucia is the female protagonist of Grand Theft Auto VI — the first playable female protagonist in the mainline GTA series. She is a Latina criminal living in the fictional state of Leonida. In the trailer, she appears to start the game in prison before being released and rejoining a life of crime alongside Jason.

Jason is the male protagonist of GTA 6 and Lucia's partner in crime. His backstory is less detailed than Lucia's in the trailers, but he is portrayed as fiercely loyal and deeply embedded in Leonida's criminal underworld. Together, he and Lucia share a Bonnie-and-Clyde dynamic.

Yes. Based on the trailer and Rockstar's confirmed two-protagonist structure, players will switch between Lucia and Jason — similar to how GTA V let you switch between Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, except with two characters instead of three.

Yes. Rockstar Games will almost certainly include an expanded online multiplayer mode with GTA 6. GTA Online has generated billions of dollars of revenue since 2013, making an online component for GTA 6 a near-certainty. Specific details about the new GTA Online have not been officially revealed.

Unknown. With GTA V, Rockstar eventually released GTA Online as a standalone free-to-play game on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Whether GTA 6's online mode will follow the same pattern is unknown.

GTA 6 differs from GTA 5 in several key ways: it features two protagonists (Lucia and Jason) instead of three, includes the first playable female protagonist in the mainline series, is set in a new Florida-inspired state (Leonida) rather than Los Santos, and is built for current-generation consoles only (PS5, Xbox Series X|S). The map is estimated to be 3–5x larger than GTA V's map. GTA 6 also appears to feature a more reactive world with improved NPC AI and social media mechanics confirmed in the trailer.

Yes, GTA 6 is expected to be significantly bigger than GTA 5. GTA V's map (San Andreas) is approximately 75 km². Community analysis of GTA 6 trailer footage estimates the Leonida state map will be 200–400+ km² — making it potentially 3–5 times larger than GTA V's world. This would make it one of the largest open-world maps in gaming history.

Yes. GTA 6 is built exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, meaning it takes full advantage of current-generation hardware. The trailer footage shows dramatically improved character models, lighting, weather effects, and environmental detail compared to GTA V — which was originally designed for PS3/Xbox 360 in 2013.

Yes. GTA V and GTA Online will remain fully playable after GTA 6 releases. Rockstar has not announced any plans to shut down GTA Online. Based on precedent, GTA Online may continue to receive updates for years alongside GTA 6.

The exact size of the GTA 6 map has not been officially confirmed. Community analysis of the trailer footage suggests the map (the state of Leonida) will be significantly larger than GTA V's Los Santos. Estimates range from 200 to 400+ km², which would make it one of the largest open-world maps in gaming history.

Yes. Based on all previous GTA games, GTA 6 will include cheat codes. These can typically be entered via button combinations on console controllers or through an in-game phone / keyboard on PC. Activating cheats disables trophies and achievements.

Rockstar Games has not officially confirmed performance targets for GTA 6. Based on the series trajectory and modern console capabilities, GTA 6 is expected to offer both a performance mode (60fps, lower resolution) and a quality mode (30fps, higher resolution) on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S — similar to many modern open-world games.
