What is the Plot of Grand Theft Auto 6?
According to a Bloomberg report, Grand Theft Auto 6 is said to revolve around two bank robbers, potentially named Lucia and Jason, in a Bonnie & Clyde-style story. Lucia’s involvement could mark the introduction of the first female playable character in GTA’s 3D era. Additionally, Rockstar is reportedly changing its approach to satire, striving to reduce humor at the expense of marginalized groups.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is developed by Rockstar North, known for all mainline GTA games since 1997. They’ve partnered with Cfx.re, the creators of GTA 5 roleplay servers, but it’s uncertain if they’ll contribute to GTA 6. Important developers like Dan Houser and Leslie Benzies have left since GTA 5, and Mike Unsworth, who almost completed his work on GTA 6, departed in August 2023.
