Some Retailers Reportedly Spill The Tea On GTA 6 Gameplay Details

The two protagonists—Lucia and Jason, who people speculate are either lovers or siblings—possess unique abilities that “directly influence the criminal ecosystem and the tactical intelligence of the missions.” That doesn’t sound too dissimilar from the roles the triple characters of Grand Theft Auto 5—Franklin Clinton, Michael Townley, and Trevor Philips—had, but with a bit more impact on the game’s narrative development and gameplay interactivity.

What may be most fascinating, though, is the role social networks play in GTA 6. If this leak is true, your in-game phone will allow you to follow Vice City influencers, discover “secret side missions” and “world events,” and watch viral videos. So, think TikTok, but in GTA. Maybe RobTok? TikCrime? We’ll workshop those names.

This all comes together in a vibrant “living world controlled by artificial intelligence.” Vice City, according to the leak, will pulsate in “a hyper-realistic way,” with NPCs going about their lives based on advanced AI, creating a more immersive experience that allows you to participate in random events and walk into interactive establishments. It’s giving Watch Dogs 2, but with what sounds like “a greater sense of immersion.” Take it all with a grain of salt, though.

This leak comes right on the heels of Rockstar Games peeling back the curtain on how much GTA 6 will cost—$80, though there is a more expensive $100 Ultimate Edition—and the fact that you only get a download code in the box instead of a disc. Going download-only makes sense in theory in 2026, but while preorders are now live, people have thoughts about the price. This is especially true following Xbox’s upcoming price increase, which now means you gotta be rich to buy GTA 6 and a console come November—if your retailer is even carrying the game, that is.
