The excitement for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) is at an all-time high as fans eagerly wait for Rockstar Games’ next big release. It’s been over a decade since GTA V came out. GTA 6 has been in development for several years, with every leak, teaser and update sending the gaming community into a frenzy. In May 2025, Rockstar surprised everyone by releasing the second official trailer of GTA 6 without any prior notice. Within hours, it became a global trend, leaving fans stunned by its realistic visuals, intense car chases, and introduction of new characters.
Here’s everything we know so far about the much-awaited GTA 6.
GTA 6 will center around two main characters: Jason and Lucia. According to Rockstar, “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.”
Apart from Jason and Lucia, GTA 6 will feature several new characters. Confirmed characters include Boobie Ike, Brian Heder, Cal Hampton, Dre’Quan Priest, Raul Bautista and Real Dimez.
