GRAND THEFT AUTO VI
A new chapter. A familiar city. One monumental countdown.
The road back to Vice City starts here. Your independent destination for verified GTA VI news, Rockstar’s official trailers and artwork, and the final countdown to launch.
Counting down to 00:00 GMT at the start of UK release day. This is not a confirmed game-unlock time.
Everything confirmed.
Clear facts, straight from Rockstar. No fake maps, invented features or speculation dressed up as a scoop.
Welcome back to Vice City.
Grand Theft Auto VI follows Jason and Lucia after a seemingly straightforward job goes wrong, pulling them into a conspiracy spanning Leonida. Rockstar has put the pair, and the world surrounding them, at the heart of its official reveal.
For us, the intrigue is more than a release date. How will Leonida feel to explore? How will the two protagonists shape the story? And can Rockstar deliver a world that genuinely moves the open-world genre forward? Those are the questions CS Press will be following.
