Grand Theft Auto VI is coming and the level of anticipation in Kenya is justified. GTA V was the best-selling game on PS4 and Xbox One, and a significant portion of those copies were sold in Kenya. Here is everything we know about its successor.
Release and Platforms
GTA 6 is confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version follows later. This is the first mainline GTA title built exclusively for current-generation hardware, which means the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will showcase what these consoles can do.
The Setting: Vice City in 2025
GTA 6 returns to Vice City — a Miami-inspired setting — with a modern 2025 setting that reflects social media culture, influencers, and current events. The map is confirmed to be the largest in GTA history.
Dual Protagonists
Lucia — the first playable female protagonist in mainline GTA — and her partner Jason lead the story. Rockstar has positioned the relationship as central to the narrative in ways the GTA 5 triple-protagonist structure did not explore.
What to Expect for Kenya
GameStop Kenya will stock physical copies on day one. Pre-ordering through GameStop Kenya guarantees your copy at launch pricing. Online multiplayer — GTA Online VI — will be the long-term mode, and Kenya's online gaming community will find a natural home there for years.
