GTA 6 Story Missions

The plot, the structure and the one mission Rockstar has actually named. Full walkthroughs land the day the game unlocks.

The setup

The plot

Rockstar's own synopsis: Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. When an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America — in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida, forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.

Confirmed list

Every named mission

There is exactly one. Any longer list you find is fabricated.

The only mission title Rockstar has published. Nothing about its contents has been detailed.

Unknown

2 — ??

Unrevealed. We'll fill this list in mission by mission as we play from 19 November.

Expected

Around 80–100 missions

GTA V shipped 69 story missions plus strangers and freaks. GTA 6's count is unannounced — treat any specific number as a guess.

How it plays

Mission structure

Two protagonists

Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Lucia is the first playable woman in a mainline GTA. Their relationship is romantic and Rockstar has leaned on a Bonnie & Clyde framing.

Character switching

Rockstar continues the multiple- protagonist formula from GTA V. Trailer analysis points to switching between Jason and Lucia, though the exact input and any mid-mission restrictions are unconfirmed.

Heists

Trailer 2 shows robbery setups and getaways. Whether GTA V's crew-hiring and approach-picking system returns has not been stated.

Dynamic events

Rockstar has talked about a more reactive world. What that means mechanically is not yet documented.

Mission replay

Every recent GTA and Red Dead has let you replay finished missions. Expected, not confirmed.

Objectives / medals

GTA V had optional mission objectives and RDR2 had gold medals. If GTA 6 keeps a rating system, our guides will list every objective per mission.
