GTA 6 vs GTA 5 — the short version
Thirteen years apart. Here are the headline differences; see the full table for everything.
Bigger, denser world
A modern Vice City inside the state of Leonida, estimated at roughly 2–2.7× the size of GTA 5’s map, with far denser crowds and detail.
A criminal couple
Two protagonists — Lucia and Jason — replace GTA 5’s trio, with Lucia the first female lead in a mainline GTA.
New engine, new price
An upgraded RAGE engine drives a generational visual leap. Launch price is $79.99 — about 4× today’s GTA 5.
