GTA 6: Everything You Need to Know About Rockstar’s Highly Anticipated Game

Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, first confirmed the 2025 launch, later narrowing it down to Fall. CEO Strauss Zelnick has repeatedly reassured fans that the game is on track, though he did admit that unexpected delays are always possible.

So, while there’s always a chance for a last-minute hiccup, it looks like Fall 2025 is the real deal.

The First GTA 6 Trailer: What Did We Learn?

Yes! GTA 6’s first trailer dropped on December 4, 2023, and it was everything fans had been waiting for.

It introduces Lucia, the series' first-ever female protagonist, who seems to be part of a Bonnie and Clyde-style crime spree. The trailer is packed with classic GTA chaos—armed robberies, high-speed police chases, and Rockstar’s signature satirical take on American culture.

Interestingly, the trailer was released earlier than planned after a massive leak hit the internet just hours before the official premiere. Classic GTA-style drama, right?

 

 

What Platforms Will GTA 6 Be On?

Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

As of now, there’s no word on a PC version, but based on Rockstar’s past releases, a PC launch will likely come later. However, don’t expect it to drop on last-gen consoles like the PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch—this one is strictly a next-gen experience.

GTA 6’s Setting: Welcome Back to Vice City

It’s official—GTA 6 is taking us back to Vice City.

The fictional Miami-inspired location is back with its sunny beaches, neon lights, and alligators lurking in the swamps. The trailer shows off a massive, modern-day map, hinting at diverse environments from bustling cityscapes to rural backwaters.

How Big is the Map?

Rumors suggest that GTA 6’s map could be the biggest Rockstar has ever made, potentially combining Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City, and even locations in Europe like London.

A Bloomberg report also claimed that the game will evolve over time, with Rockstar adding new cities and regions post-launch. This could mean GTA 6 will have constant map expansions, similar to how GTA Online introduced new areas over the years.

GTA 6’s Story & Characters: A Dynamic Duo

For the first time ever, GTA 6 will feature a female protagonist, Lucia, alongside a male character (possibly named Jason).

Leaked info suggests that the story revolves around their criminal escapades, reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde. This could also mean a return of GTA 5’s character-switching mechanic, giving players the chance to experience the story from multiple perspectives.

 

 

GTA 6 Leaks & Gameplay Footage

Back in September 2022, Rockstar suffered one of the biggest leaks in gaming history.

Over 90 videos of early GTA 6 gameplay surfaced, showcasing robberies, shootouts, and even a look at Vice City. While some fans were skeptical at first, journalist Jason Schreier later confirmed the leaks were 100% legit.

Despite the massive leak, Rockstar assured fans that development is still on track and won’t be significantly impacted.

Will GTA 6 Have Crossplay?

Right now, Rockstar hasn’t confirmed if GTA 6 will support crossplay.

None of their previous games have featured cross-platform play, but given the rise of crossplay in modern gaming, this could be the first time Rockstar jumps on board.

Imagine Xbox, PlayStation, and (eventually) PC players all causing chaos in Vice City together—that would be legendary.

Final Thoughts: The Hype is Real

With GTA 6 officially on the way, the hype is off the charts.

• Fall 2025 launch window? 
• Vice City return confirmed? 
• Massive open world with potential expansions? 
• Bonnie & Clyde-style story with a female lead? 

Now, all we can do is wait for more trailers, details, and (inevitable) leaks to drop. One thing’s for sure—GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of all time.
