Overview
The Kosatka is a Grand Theft Auto special modelled on the Akula-class Submarine. Rockstar has not shown or named the Kosatka for GTA 6, so everything below is drawn from its real-world basis and its history across the series — not from confirmed GTA 6 detail.
History in the GTA Series
The Kosatka was introduced in GTA Online's Cayo Perico Heist update in December 2020 and immediately became one of the most important vehicles in the game. It functioned as both a vehicle and a property — players could fast-travel to it, plan heists from its operations center, store a helicopter on its moon pool, and launch missiles at surface targets. The Cayo Perico Heist, operated from the Kosatka, became the most profitable and popular heist in GTA Online history.
The Kosatka was introduced during GTA Online's Cayo Perico Heist update in December 2020, instantly becoming one of the most significant vehicle additions in the game's history. Its introduction marked the first time players could own and operate a submarine as a personal property, and it served as the central hub for the Cayo Perico heist — the first heist that could be completed entirely solo. The update represented Rockstar's most ambitious expansion of the game's playable space, and the Kosatka was the key that unlocked it. Sales of the Kosatka were extraordinary, with the majority of active players purchasing one within the first month of release, fundamentally shifting the game's economy and mission structure.
What We Actually Know About It in GTA 6
Rockstar has not shown or named the Kosatka for GTA 6. It is a GTA Online-era addition (first seen in GTA Online (2020)), so it has no deep cross-game history to lean on; its return is plausible but unconfirmed. No official source gives a top speed, acceleration, handling rating, price, spawn location or customization list for the Kosatka in GTA 6 — the in-game economy and traffic spawns have not been shown at that level of detail. As a special you can reasonably expect class-based expectation rather than measured performance; past GTA games let you find vehicles like this in traffic, buy them from in-game websites, or earn them through missions, and we expect something similar. Once the game is out we will replace this with verified detail — until then, any exact mph figure, dollar price, street location or upgrade menu quoted for it is invented.
