Rumors and leaks about GTA 6 have circulated for years. Here we separate what’s officially confirmed—from the trailer and Rockstar—from what’s still rumor or outdated. For the full picture, see our development timeline and GTA 5 coverage.

Confirmed: Vice City and Leonida

The trailer confirms a modern Vice City and the state of Leonida (Florida-inspired). That matches years of rumors. Our map size comparison sums up what we know about scale and locations.

Confirmed: Lucia and Jason

Lucia and Jason are the two protagonists. Lucia is the first main female protagonist in a GTA title. For more on them, read Lucia and Jason and why Lucia matters.

Release Window and Delays

Rockstar announced a 2025 release, then delayed to 2026. So “2026” is the current confirmed window. For context on delays, see why Rockstar takes their time. Until then, GTA 5 Mobile and GTA Online remain the main experience.

Rumors to Treat Carefully

Older leaks (e.g. 2022 footage) may not reflect the final game. Specific mission details, map size numbers, and unannounced features are still rumor. Stick to the trailer and official statements for what’s confirmed. For more GTA 6 and GTA 5 Mobile updates, visit our homepage.
