GTA VI missions and walkthroughs
No mission has an official name yet. Here’s Jason and Lucia’s story as Rockstar tells it, what the videos show of the missions, and the guide that will fill up starting November 19, 2026.
Each sequence says where it comes from: Rockstar text, official image or player notes. No mission name is made up or taken from the leaks; the walkthroughs will come with the game. Understanding statuses.
The story
Jason and Lucia, according to Rockstar
Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos have always known the deck is stacked against them. When a job that was supposed to be easy goes wrong, they end up on the dark side of the sunniest place in America, at the heart of a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the whole state of Leonida. To make it out, they’ll have to rely on each other more than ever.
Jason grew up around grifters, did a stint in the Army and works in the Keys for local drug runners; Lucia is getting out of the Leonida Penitentiary, where fighting for her family landed her. Rob Nelson, from Rockstar North, sums up what comes next for Famitsu: after the botched job, several people are hunting them, they hide out in Vice City and look for enough money to get out of it.
Rockstar openly takes Bonnie and Clyde as its model: Rupert Humphries, in charge of narrative, says so to Dazed. How they meet, who’s after them and how it all ends: nothing has been published.
Two characters, sometimes chosen for you
You switch from Jason to Lucia when they’re together, but some missions lock you into one of them: Rob Nelson mentions to Famitsu an early mission, in a big housing project, that’s Jason only.
Money moves the story forward
According to Rob Nelson in Famitsu, chaining missions together won’t earn enough money to move the story forward: you’ll also have to make some on the side, by robbing stores or gang hideouts.
How you play matters
A criminal profile keeps track of what you do and doesn’t fade away like wanted stars; some optional objectives have consequences for the story.

Player observations
What the community has identified
Players pick apart every shot. Here’s what they suggest, cited as such.
Trailer 1 in reverseSome players think Trailer 1 tells the story backward, based on Lucia’s ankle monitor; it’s only a theory. source
Sinfrontera National BankGameSpot reads this sign name during the Trailer 2 heist; fan sites make it one of Raul’s jobs, with no official source. source
Raymond, Mendez, Venture ApartmentsThe names noted in the Extended Look’s opening come from wikis; they still need to be checked against the video. source
Wiki mission listsTheir mission names don’t come from Rockstar, and some come from the leaks: the site uses none of them. source
About $1,000 per small storeA figure put forward by a content creator invited by Rockstar, not by Rockstar: it doesn’t go into the calculator. source
Five tiers of heistsFrom gang hideouts to banks and jewelry stores, according to press previews; no official list. source
A mission name will only go into the guide with an official source: the game itself, or a Rockstar video or text.
Open questions
What’s still to be confirmed
The guide is ready; it’s just missing the game’s numbers.
The number of missions
No number of missions and no number of chapters: only the split into chapters is official.
Rewards
No amount has been published for a mission, a heist or a hideout.
Missable missions
Nothing says whether a mission can be missed for good, or replayed.
Optional objectives
They exist and affect the story; their exact form hasn’t been detailed.
Without the Ultimate Edition
The PTT Youngin$ hideout and Wyman’s collection belong to that edition.
Each answer will join the guide with its source as soon as it’s published.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions people type into a search engine, with short, dated answers.
How many missions are there in GTA 6?
Rockstar hasn’t published the number of missions or the number of chapters. All we know is that the story is split into chapters, and that Rob Nelson took about 80 hours to finish his playthrough, story and optional objectives included. The list will fill up at launch.
How do you unlock a mission in GTA 6?
The requirements haven’t been published mission by mission. Rob Nelson warns that missions alone don’t pay enough to move the story forward: you’ll also have to make money on the side, by robbing stores or gang hideouts.
Which missions pay the most in GTA 6?
There’s no way to rank them for now. Rockstar hasn’t published any mission earnings or duration: the calculator’s activities are examples to replace with your numbers. As soon as a mission has published earnings and a duration, it will join “My activities”, which compares what everything pays per hour.
What do we know about GTA 6 heists?
The trailers show a liquor store robbery and a masked bank heist. Rob Nelson explains that you can rob a jewelry store or a small bank solo or as a duo, cut the alarm and destroy the cameras to get away unseen, and raid gang hideouts spotted on the map.
How many hours long is the GTA 6 story?
Rockstar hasn’t given a length. The only benchmark: Rob Nelson says he finished his playthrough in about 80 hours, including the main story and some of the optional objectives (New York Times, August 2026).
Can you switch characters during a mission?
Sometimes. When Jason and Lucia are together, you switch between them; but some missions force one character on you, and the game sometimes switches on its own, like during the getaway with Raul in the Extended Look.
