Grand Theft Auto VI: everything you need to know

On August 27, a 26-minute video of GTA 6 went live on Netflix. In it, you can see, among other things, some gameplay footage and cutscenes from the new Rockstar game, which was released on November 19, 2026.

You see Jason and Lucia on a mission to pick something up for Boobie Ike, among others. You see that this doesn't go entirely according to plan and that the police arrive. Additionally, we see plenty of atmospheric shots of the city, some dialogue between Jason and Lucia, and a fight involving burning cars and typical rare GTA characters, such as an old woman hitting cars with hammers.

You can find the full video and already enjoy all the action, humor, and atmosphere that GTA 6 has to offer.

The story in GTA 6 centres on 2 main characters: Lucia and Jason. Together, they roam Vice City as a close-knit team that plans heists and constantly tries to stay one step ahead of the chaos. Lucia is the first female protagonist in a long time. She grew up in tough circumstances, is out on parole, and operates in a focused and calculated way. Jason is her partner in crime: loyal, level-headed, and always on the move. Their dynamic is reminiscent of a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, with Lucia usually drawing up the plans and Jason taking on most of the legwork.

Alongside Lucia and Jason, several other characters play key roles in GTA 6. Brian Heder is an older smuggler in the Keys who gives Jason a place to stay. Together with his wife Lori, he runs a boatyard, organises routes and contacts, and lets others handle the dirty work. Cal Hampton, a friend of Jason’s and a regular contact within Brian’s network, tracks the Coast Guard via his scanner, searches online for useful information, and passes it on before the police can react. Boobie Ike is a Vice City entrepreneur with property, a strip club, and a studio. He is a friendly man unless business or money is involved, and he invests together with Dre’Quan Priest in the music label Only Raw Records, because one hit can change everything.

The latter is a former hustler who has grown into a music boss. Dre’Quan Priest signed the duo Real Dimez to Only Raw Records and is trying to break through for real via Vice City. Real Dimez, made up of Bae-Luxe and Roxy, is a rap duo with a strong online presence. After their first local success, they are working on a new track within Only Raw Records to build on that momentum. Raul Bautista also plays a major role: a seasoned bank robber who puts his own teams together and goes for high-stakes jobs. For Lucia and Jason, he can become both a mentor and an employer.

GTA 6 is set in Leonida, Rockstar’s own take on Florida. At the heart of this world is Vice City, surrounded by swamps, islands, coastal towns, and a vast inland area. The map is large, varied, and clearly designed for long drives, boat trips, and quick getaways through both city and countryside.

Within this world are several regions: Vice City itself, a city full of neon, beaches, skyscrapers, and districts ranging from luxury penthouses to rougher neighbourhoods. Then there are the Leonida Keys, a chain of islands with bridges, marinas, and smuggling routes that are ideal for speedboats and night-time drives. Grassrivers consists of swamps and small towns where you’ll encounter airboats, alligators, and remote roads. Port Gellhorn is the industrial port area full of docks, containers, and shipyards, perfect for waterside deals or undercover transport. Ambrosia, meanwhile, is a coastal town with resorts and shopping streets, but also places where business can be handled discreetly. And in Mount Kalaga you’ll find the mountainous inland region with winding roads, viewpoints, and remote hideouts.
