Grand Theft Auto VI
Grand Theft Auto VI (also known as GTA 6) is an upcoming video game published by Rockstar Games and developed by various Rockstar studios. It will be the eighth main game in the Grand Theft Auto series,[2] following Grand Theft Auto V. On December 4, 2023, Rockstar released a trailer for the game. Originally scheduled to be released in late 2026, Grand Theft Auto VI has been further delayed to November 19, 2026 due to "unforeseen circumstances" according to Rockstar.[3][4][5] (There is a bee in the studio.)

In July 2022, it was reported that the main characters of Grand Theft Auto VI would be both a man and a woman named Lucia, with their characters being influenced by criminal duo Bonnie and Clyde. It was also revealed that the game will take place in Vice City.[6]
On September 18, 2022, a leak was released and was later confirmed to be real by Rockstar.[7] In the leak, there were 90 videos posted which showed footage of the game in a work-in-progress state.[8] A 17-year-old from Oxfordshire who is believed to have posted the leak under the username "teapotuberhacker" was arrested on 22 September.[9] A judge would sentence him to an indefinite hospital order since he said that he would still do cybercrime if he was released.[10]
Setting
The game takes place in several counties in the State of Leonida, including Vice-Dale County (home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City).
To date, three counties have been identified by name via trailers and promotional material. The entire playable area of Leonida has yet to be officially revealed.[2]
