The plot of GTA VI: a criminal saga in Leonid's state

GTA VI takes place in the fictional state of Leonid, the prototype of which was Florida. The main setting was Vice City, inspired by Miami.

The main characters are Lucia and Jason. Lucia is an ex—convict who, after her release, is trying to build a new life with Jason. Her role has been compared to Michael from GTA V. This is the first time in the main Grand Theft Auto license plate series that a female character becomes the central protagonist. Jason is a former military man who grew up surrounded by small—time scammers.

The couple is in love and longs for a good life with a minimum of effort. When an attempt to make easy money went wrong, they found themselves in the middle of a criminal conspiracy that spanned the entire state.

GTA V Legacy

The previous installment of the series, Grand Theft Auto V, was released on September 17, 2013 and became the most commercially successful video game in history. It sold over 200 million copies, grossing over $8 billion. It is on this foundation that Rockstar builds expectations from GTA VI, which, according to relevant publications, should surpass its predecessor in all respects.
