Frequently Asked Questions
How much will GTA 6 cost?
Rockstar hasn't confirmed final pricing. Given industry trends toward $70+ for major console titles, that's the widely expected range.
Is GTA 6 confirmed for PS4 or Xbox One?
No — GTA 6 is confirmed only for current-generation consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S), not the previous generation.
Are Jason and Lucia related, or partners?
Official materials frame them as partners in crime with a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style dynamic, rather than family.
Will GTA 6 have multiple cities like GTA 5 did?
Vice City is the confirmed hub, and leaked/official material suggests a broader state with varied areas beyond the city itself, similar in spirit to San Andreas.
