10 Things That Are 99% Confirmed for GTA VI

10 Things That Are 99% Confirmed for GTA VI

Welcome to MojoPlays, and today we are looking at only the stuff we can say will definitely happen! No, I’m not talking about global politics, or stuff that matters, I’m talking about GTA! These are 10 Things That Are 99% Confirmed for GTA VI. Let’s go!

Release Date

The wait for "Grand Theft Auto VI" got stretched out again, but at least this time it comes with a firm date attached. God I wish I hadn’t used the term “stretched out”. Rockstar Games confirmed the game is now set to land on November 19, 2026, after previously aiming for May 2026, and even earlier, a vague 2025 window. In their announcement, Rockstar basically said, “look, we know you’ve been waiting forever, but we need more time to get it right,” which is fair, even if it hurts, still fair, hurry up though. The upside is that this isn’t another “coming soon” situation, it’s an actual date you can circle. Which I have, in permanent ink. Don’t mess with me Rockstar.

Protagonists

"Grand Theft Auto VI" looks like it’s leaning hard into a dual-protagonist setup, with Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos taking centre stage, basically a modern Bonnie and Clyde with a Rockstar twist. Jason’s got a military background, which explains why he handles combat like it’s second nature, while Lucia’s upbringing in Liberty City gives her that scrappy, learned-the-hard-way edge. Around them, you’ll run into a pretty stacked cast of side characters, all with their own flavour. Gameplay-wise, both leads have their own spin on slow-motion abilities, Jason’s highlights enemy weak points in a style similar to RDR’s Deadshot, while Lucia’s is a more focused and precise single shot. There’s also a more dynamic interaction system, letting you respond to situations on the fly with options like greeting, threatening, or just going straight for the robbery.

GTA VI Online

"Grand Theft Auto VI" isn’t just bringing a new story and protagonists, it’s expected to hit reset on the online side too. Early signs point to a fresh version of GTA Online set in Leonida, but don’t expect to carry over your empire from the last game. The idea seems to be a full clean slate, no old characters, no stacked bank accounts, none of the chaos from years of updates. And honestly, it makes sense. The current online world got pretty out of control with inflated economies and over-the-top gear. I’m cautious to include this as it's probably the only entry that is more like 80% confirmed, BUT I GOTTA BRING IT UP! COME ON.

Weapons & Combat

"Grand Theft Auto VI" looks like it’s reworking combat and inventory in a big way, making things feel a bit more grounded and hands-on. The weapon wheel isn’t just for guns anymore, you can cycle through gear and equipment too, meaning stuff like binoculars, armour, medical kits, and even food all sit alongside your weapons. There’s clear indications that GTA 6 is taking inspiration from RDR2, and we couldn’t be happier about it. There’s also hints of new mechanics, like tools for breaking into high-end cars, which sounds like it’ll involve a proper mini-game instead of just “press button, car is yours.” Carry limits are tighter as well, more in line with "Red Dead Redemption 2", so heavier weapons stay in your vehicle instead of magically appearing. On top of that, combat’s been expanded, better melee, grabbing hostages, moving bodies, even switching hands while aiming. I am SO excited.

Story

From what Rockstar’s shown so far, "Grand Theft Auto VI" is shaping up to be a pretty intense ride. With Jason and Lucia leading the story, it’s clear they’re not exactly winning at life, right from the start, it’s that “everything’s stacked against you” kind of situation. What’s meant to be a simple score quickly goes sideways, and suddenly they’re dragged into something way bigger than they bargained for. We’re talking about a full-blown conspiracy stretching across Leonida. The big hook seems to be their partnership, if they don’t trust each other and work together, they’re done. So yeah, in a tense romantic environment, expect things to spiral fast.

Wildlife

RDR2 taught us one thing, hunting can actually be REALLY fun, pushing it way further than GTAV did. "Grand Theft Auto VI" looks like it’s really leaning into making its world feel alive, like, properly alive, not just NPCs walking in circles. The wildlife alone is kind of ridiculous, with everything from alligators and sharks to flamingos and even jaguars roaming around. It’s not just for show either, since you can dive underwater and actually explore, hunting for hidden loot. On top of that, there are small details that add way more immersion than you’d expect, characters wear working watches that track in-game time, and there’s a cinematic camera mode similar to "Red Dead Redemption 2" that makes everything look like a movie. I can’t wait to hunt the chupacabra in cinematic mode.

Graphics and World Details

"GTA VI" is going all-in on realism, and it’s the little details doing the heavy lifting. The lighting system has had a serious upgrade, with ray tracing making everything from sunlight to reflections look way more natural, like the world actually reacts to its environment. Characters feel less static too, hair and beards grow over time, clothes move with the wind instead of sticking to them like cardboard, and even individual strands of hair behave realistically. It’s the kind of stuff you don’t always notice at first, but once you do, it’ll be hard to go back. Basically, everything just feels more alive, except anyone that crossed my path.

Vehicles

Vehicles in "Grand Theft Auto VI" look like they’re getting a serious glow-up, not just in numbers but in detail. There’s reportedly over 200 options to mess around with, cars, bikes, boats, planes, the whole lot! And instead of just stealing everything, you can actually buy them from dealerships across the map. But the real upgrade is inside the vehicles. Interiors aren’t just decoration anymore, they’re fully interactive, with working dashboards, mirrors that reflect what’s actually behind you, and even little touches like moving pedals and adjustable steering wheels. I play in third person, so I couldn’t care if the steering wheel is in the backseat. Still, neat.

Confirmed Side Activities

"Grand Theft Auto VI" isn’t just about missions, it looks like the game’s basically turning into a full-on life simulator with how much stuff there is to do. Outside of the main story, you’ve got a ridiculous range of activities to mess around with. You can hit the gym, throw hands in boxing or MMA, chill out fishing or hunting, or just waste time playing pool and mini golf like you’ve got nothing better to do. Then there’s all the water stuff: diving, kayaking, jet skis, plus dirt bike racing if you feel like sending it. I hate that I said that. And of course, it wouldn’t be GTA without nightlife, so drinking, clubbing, and even just watching TV are all on the table. There’s even things like community service, which feels… suspiciously responsible. I’m definitely going to community service to just mess with the officer in charge.

The World

The game is going big, like, really big, with its version of Florida, known as Leonida. The map is rumoured to be nearly double the size of "GTA V", and you’re getting a whole spread of regions. There’s Vice City front and centre, plus swampy areas like the Grassrivers, island chains in the Keys, smaller towns, and even a full national park. It’s not just scale either, as we’ve discussed, the world is WAY more interactive. Over 700 locations are said to be enterable, from restaurants and pawn shops to malls and skyscrapers, which is a massive jump from previous games. And it doesn’t stop at launch either, since Rockstar is planning to expand the map over time with new areas and missions. I’m so ready for this game I could poop.
