Grand Theft Auto VI is built around two playable protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, with confirmed character switching between them. Beyond the story, Rockstar has officially shown hunting, fishing, water traversal, vehicle and character customization, and an in-game social-media culture set across the state of Leonida. Here is everything confirmed so far.

Two protagonists and character switching

GTA 6 has two playable leads. Lucia Caminos is the first female lead protagonist in a mainline Grand Theft Auto, and Jason Duval is her partner. Switching between them returns from GTA 5, and the story is framed as a criminal couple on the run, widely compared to Bonnie and Clyde.

The world of Leonida

The open world is the fictional state of Leonida, based on Florida, with named regions including Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park. See the full map of Leonida and the locations database.

Confirmed activities

  • Hunting in Mount Kalaga National Park, with wildlife such as deer and mountain lions.
  • Fishing around the waterways and the national park area.
  • Water traversal using airboats, boats, jet skis and kayaks across the swamps, keys and coast.
  • A Classic Car Collection side task: track down abandoned project cars across Leonida and restore them.
  • Recreational mini-games glimpsed in Trailer 2, including basketball, pool, mini-golf, diving and racing.

Customization

Vehicle customization returns through in-world mod shops such as Rideout Customs. Character personalization is confirmed too, with the Ultimate Edition reveal citing tattoos from a real artist collective plus clothing and styling options.

In-game social media

Trailer 2 shows an in-game phone and social-media culture, complete with vertical short-form videos, likes and comments, and influencer and meme content woven into the world.

Single-player at launch

Rockstar officially describes GTA 6 as a single-player experience, and no new online mode has been announced for the November 19, 2026 launch. GTA Online continues to run separately.

One widely-shared figure, “700+ enterable interiors,” is rumored and comes from insider reports, not from Rockstar. We label it as unconfirmed.
