GTA 6: Rockstar boss says non-US setting 'never say never'

A Rockstar executive said in an interview with IGN Nordic, reported on 11 November 2026, that a GTA game set outside the United States is a 'never say never' idea. The same comment came with a clear note not to hold your breath, so nothing about future settings has changed.

What did the Rockstar boss say about a GTA outside the US?

In an interview with IGN Nordic, reported on 11 November 2026, a Rockstar executive was asked whether the series could ever leave the United States. The answer was a 'never say never', which leaves the door open without promising anything.

The same answer came with a warning not to hold your breath. That fits the series so far: every main GTA game has been set in a version of America, and GTA 6 stays there with its return to Vice City and the state of Leonida.

Does this mean GTA 6 will be set outside the US?

No. The comment was about the series in general and says nothing about changing GTA 6, which is still set in Leonida and still due on 19 November 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

It is also worth being clear about what was said. This is a public remark from a Rockstar executive in an interview, not an announcement of a new game or a new setting. There is no plan, date or title attached to it.

Why are players talking about it?

Talk of a GTA beyond the US comes up often among fans, and a comment like this from inside Rockstar is rare enough to get noticed. It suggests the studio has at least thought about the idea, even if it stays a distant possibility.

For now there is nothing to wait for beyond GTA 6 itself. If Rockstar ever does take the series somewhere new, it will say so properly.
