Story

The story is built around two protagonists, Lucia and Jason. The official premise: an easy score goes wrong, and the pair end up on what Rockstar calls “the darkest side of the sunniest place in America,” caught in a criminal conspiracy that spans the state of Leonida, and they can only get out of it together. In the first trailer, Lucia is in a state prison; in the second, Jason picks her up at the gates, and from then on they work as partners. Rockstar isn’t revealing any other story details.

The world

Leonida is inspired by Florida. Its main city is Vice City, a modern version of the city from the series’ classic entry. The trailers also show coastlines, islands and swamps. All confirmed regions are collected in our article on the GTA 6 map.

Six of Leonida’s radio stations are known, from Flash FM to The Chamber 106.6, and the radio now plays on foot through headphones (stations and hosts).

Gameplay

Rockstar showed the most gameplay on August 27, 2026, in a 26-minute video captured on PS5. It showed a wanted level that once again goes up to six stars, a criminal profile, one-button switching between the protagonists, stealing cars with a lock pick and a key cloner, and a look that changes with food, exercise and sleep. The details are in our Extended Look recap.
