Overview
Concept, not canon: Rockstar has confirmed no mission called “The Setup.” Heist prep — scoping a target, picking a crew and an approach — is a real GTA V design pattern, and that is what this page discusses as expectation. It is not an announced GTA 6 mission or sequence.
“The Setup” is a fan-concept entry in our GTA 6 wiki. It is not a confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI mission or activity. Rockstar Games revealed GTA 6 with trailers set in the state of Leonida — a fictionalised Florida centred on Vice City — and confirmed the dual protagonists Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, but the studio has deliberately kept the mission structure under wraps. This page exists to discuss the idea behind The Setup: where it fits in the franchise, what Rockstar has actually shown, and what is purely community speculation.
Where the “The Setup” idea comes from
In GTA V, heists were preceded by a setup board: you chose an approach, recruited gunmen, drivers and hackers at different skill-and-cut levels, and ran prep missions to acquire vehicles and equipment. “The Setup” as a concept is drawn directly from that real mechanic.
Whether GTA 6 brings back a planning board, crew cuts, or prep missions is unknown — Rockstar has not shown its heist flow. This page describes the franchise version of setup, clearly labelled, not a confirmed GTA 6 mission.

How much money does this mission pay?

Where can I find a real GTA 6 mission walkthrough?
You can’t yet — the game’s missions have not been detailed by Rockstar, so no genuine walkthrough exists. Be cautious of sites presenting step-by-step GTA 6 walkthroughs as fact before launch.
Why does this page exist if the mission isn’t confirmed?
It documents a community concept and explains what is and isn’t known, so readers can tell confirmed information from speculation. We think that’s more useful than inventing details.
What was the GTA V setup board?
Before each heist, GTA V let you pick an approach and recruit crew at different skill-and-cut tiers, then run prep jobs. 'The Setup' draws on that real mechanic.
When will real GTA 6 mission details be available?
Likely closer to launch, through official Rockstar trailers, the Rockstar Newswire, and post-release play. We update pages like this one when verifiable information appears.
Is a planning board confirmed for GTA 6?
