Background
Grand Theft Auto 6, set in the fictional state of Leonida, is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026. Previous entries in the series featured limited public transport; for example, GTA 4 included a subway network with 26 stations, while GTA 5 featured a light rail system with eleven stops, but neither allowed for fully functional passenger commuting in the same way.
Rockstar Games has emphasized creating a 'living world' in Leonida, with systems designed to feel logical to the player. The new public transport network is part of this broader effort to improve the behind-the-scenes workings of the game, providing players with alternatives to driving personal vehicles.
