What is GTA 6?
GTA 6 is developed by Rockstar Games and published by Take-Two Interactive. It is the first new mainline Grand Theft Auto entry since GTA V shipped in September 2013 — over 13 years between releases. Based on trailers released in 2023 and 2025, the game is set in a modern Vice City-inspired setting (Miami and South Florida) with an open world pushed by over a decade of Rockstar's engine and design work.
GTA V remained one of the best-selling games in history throughout that entire span, which raises the stakes for this release considerably.
Gameplay and story
Rockstar has not released a formal genre classification or detailed gameplay breakdown. The two trailers — released December 2023 and May 2025 — confirmed the Vice City setting, introduced protagonists including a female lead (a first for the series in a mainline entry), and showed the open-world sandbox tone the franchise is known for. Full gameplay details, multiplayer structure, and story specifics have not been officially disclosed.
Price and pre-orders
No price or pre-order details have been announced. At Rockstar's scale, expect a standard $70 console release. A formal pre-order window will likely open months before the November launch.
Is GTA 6 on Xbox Game Pass or PS Plus?
No. GTA 6 has not been announced for Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, or any subscription service.
