Vice City returns: Grand Theft Auto VI launching November 19
A new Grand Theft Auto video game is coming out soon.
It is called Grand Theft Auto VI.
The game will be available on November 19.
You can play it on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
It costs more money than most games usually do.
The game takes place in a pretend city called Vice City.
That city looks like Miami and the area around it looks like Florida.
For the first time in a very long time, you can play as a woman character.
Her name is Lucia, and she teams up with a man named Jason.
When the game first comes out, there will be no online mode or computer version.
Grand Theft Auto VI releases on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, thirteen years after the last numbered Grand Theft Auto game.
The Standard Edition costs $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition costs $99.99, pushing past the industry's usual $70 price ceiling.
The game returns to Vice City in the present day, set across the larger Florida-inspired state of Leonida.
For the first time in nearly three decades, the series features a playable woman, Lucia Caminos, alongside former soldier Jason Duval.
Grand Theft Auto VI launches as a single-player experience, with no PC version or multiplayer mode announced at launch.
