GTA 6 will have two main characters:
Lucia: The GTA series' very first female protagonist.

GTA 6 can bring real-time dynamic weather conditions and occurrences such as hurricanes, floods, and heatwaves impacting gameplay, road conditions, and mission success.

GTA 6 will launch May 26, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S and PS5. This was revealed on May 2, 2025, delaying the game into 2026. We'll have to wait for more info. In terms of a GTA 6 PC release, an ex-Rockstar dev has explained why GTA 6 won't come to PC at launch: 'This stuff is very complicated'.
Interestingly, GTA 6 will be able to make use of the extra power provided by the PS5 Pro at launch. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but unless Xbox launches a competitor, the best place to play GTA 6 could be Sony's most powerful console. We expect there to be a dedicated PS5 enhanced version of GTA 6, but we'll have to wait and see what Rockstar announces.
In terms of when to expect a PC port, you might not have to wait long for GTA 6. This is according to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who had this to say in a recent interview with IGN:
"In an interview with IGN ahead of the company's recent financial results, Zelnick was asked whether the lack of a PC release is a mistake given the platform's prevalence.
Rockstar Games revealed the first trailer for GTA 6 on December 4, 2023. In it, we're introduced to Lucia Caminos, one of the main protagonists of GTA 6. Then the following trailer focused more on Jason Duval who is ex-army, and currently working as a small-time drug smuggler around The Keys.
In terms of the story, GTA 6 looks set to follow the couple as they attempt to pull off a big score. Aside from that, we know that it'll take place in and around Vice City, and that Lucia has been incarcerated after a fight gone wrong. We'll need to wait to hear more on whether GTA 6 will indeed allow players to control Lucia and her partner, but for now, it looks like the two share the main role.
Plenty of side characters have been revealed so far, likely the ones that'll be handing out missions in-game. The first is Boobie Ike, a Vice City legend with an empire spanning strip clubs, bars and a recording studio. Then there's Cal Hampton, an internet conspiracy nut who's a friend of Jason's.
