Few video games create as much buzz as the Grand Theft Auto series, and fans are eagerly waiting for the next instalment. Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has been in development for several years, and every update from Rockstar Games is treated like a major event. In May 2025, the gaming world was surprised by the sudden release of GTA 6’s second trailer, which quickly went viral.
Fans were particularly impressed by the game’s realistic graphics, high-speed car chases, and the introduction of new characters. From its new characters to release date, here’s everything we currently know about GTA 6.
GTA 6 will follow the adventures of two main characters, Jason and Lucia. About the plot, Rockstar shared: “Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
Alongside Jason and Lucia, the game will feature several new characters. Confirmed names include Boobie Ike, Brian Heder, Cal Hampton, Dre’Quan Priest, Raul Bautista, and Real Dimez.
