Before You Order
What to check before ordering GTA 6: the updated date, supported consoles, the difference between editions, the box without a disc, region-locked codes and the free GTA+ month that renews at the regular price.
GTA 6 on PC still has no date: why a PC version is expected, what Take-Two’s CEO said and why you cannot plan a hardware upgrade around requirements yet.
Story and Characters
Jason and Lucia’s relationship: a simple job that goes wrong, a relationship players can influence, switching between the two characters and the Criminal Profile system.
GTA 6’s supporting cast: Cal Hampton, Brian Heder, Raul Bautista, Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest and the duo Real Dimez, and the personal and business ties between them.
The World
GTA 6’s six destinations: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga, plus localized weather that leaves puddles after the rain.
Choosing a car in GTA 6: space for three vehicles at the start, garages to expand, registered versus stolen cars, and damage that affects value.
Trailers and Music
What GTA 6’s extended video reveals: An Extended Look runs 26:48, was captured entirely in-game on PS5 and shows how control switches between Jason and Lucia.
The GTA 6 album: 34 original tracks, six singles already out, and why the album is not the full list of in-game radio music.
Comparisons and Fact Checks
GTA 6 vs GTA 5: a central partnership instead of a trio, Leonida instead of Los Santos, and technical features that already exist in newer versions of GTA V.
Four GTA 6 claims worth checking again: a $100 price, no box at launch, 60fps on PS5 Pro and multiplayer in 2027, compared with what has been officially published.
