Edge watched Rob Nelson play GTA 6 for about 90 minutes, unscripted, at Rockstar North in Edinburgh, interviewed him, Aaron Garbut and Phil Hooker, and ran twelve new images. Published at the end of October 2026, it is the most detailed look at the game anyone outside Rockstar has given. Confirmed
What was new
- Leonida has nearly as much land as GTA IV, GTA V and RDR2's playable maps combined (Rockstar); Edge puts it at roughly twice GTA V.
- The map opens up relatively early; you can head north without following the story.
- "An order of magnitude" more Interiors (Garbut).
- Days and nights last longer; see Time, days and nights.
- Pedestrian reactions: people respond to your personality, what they saw and what you are carrying.
- Police work from a description, use spike strips and K9 units. See Police leads.
- Every car has fuel and engine health; some stolen cars carry trackers. Two phone apps: Scooter Bros and WAINK.
- Jason and Lucia's closeness is a four-point Relationship scale; the gym needs a membership.
- Buses and trains can be ridden; smell is a system; Weather and storms affects boats and aircraft.
The twelve images
KeenGamer lists close-ups of Jason and Lucia, a supermarket robbery, a motorbike chase, Lucia shooting from a moving car, the Vice City waterfront, biker gangs, nightlife, a hammerhead shark, Officer Méndez of the Vice City Police Department and a tattoo session with local gang members.
