Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.

Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.

Why GTA 6's Gunplay and Combat May Need a Rework

As one of the most influential crime-focused game franchises, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto has maintained a dominant presence in the gaming industry since its first release in the late '90s.

With the extended wait for GTA 6 being over 10 years, other game mechanics, particularly combat, may come under closer scrutiny.
