What's Different From GTA V

01

Two leads, not three

Two main playable leads instead of GTA V's three-character trio.

02

History made

Lucia is the first female lead in a main HD-era GTA.

03

New turf

Vice City and the wider state of Leonida replace Los Santos & Blaine County.

04

2020s satire

Stronger social-media and influencer satire, tuned for the streaming age.

05

Wilder environments

Neon city, beaches, marshes, keys, and rural zones — far more varied than San Andreas.

06

Current-gen native

Built for current-gen consoles from day one. No last-gen compromises.
