Grand Theft Auto VI takes players to the state of Leonida, a satirical depiction of modern Florida featuring the neon-lit streets of Vice City. The narrative follows criminal duo Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as they navigate a state-wide conspiracy after a heist goes wrong. As the sixteenth entry in the franchise overall, the game allows players to freely explore open-world urban and rural environments from a third-person perspective.
Gameplay features an upgraded wanted system with up to six stars and specific identifiers tracking player appearance, vehicles, and cameras. Open-world activities include scuba diving, airboat swamp navigation, target practice, nightclub visits, and gym workouts. Combat integrates focus mode mechanics, dynamic hit indicators, and consumable items managed through dedicated equipment wheels.
