Series and releases
The game is the eighth main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V. It was formally revealed in December 2023; the release plan was subsequently revised twice, and the officially announced target date is November 19, 2026.
Usage
Public material describes a third-person, open-world action-adventure game played as Jason or Lucia: players roam Leonida, drive vehicles, explore its different regions and advance the story. Further gameplay details should be taken from Rockstar’s official releases.
Related and confusable terms
GTA VI, GTA 6 and GTA6 all refer to Grand Theft Auto VI; VI is the Roman numeral for six. It is the next mainline entry in the series, not an expansion or update to 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V, GTA 5).
