The game is scheduled to reach the fall of 2025, initially for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The PC version, however, is still unknown. Although Rockstar has a habit of launching its games on computers some time after consoles, there is no official confirmation that this will happen with GTA 6.
While the release is not enough, we have gathered all the information released so far. See what to expect from the new Rockstar game.
When will GTA 6 release be?
The first official trailer revealed that GTA 6 will arrive in 2025, but without a specific date. However, a financial report of Take-Two, the company responsible for publication of the game, confirmed that the launch will take place in the fall of the northern hemisphere, between September and December.
Although the date is already set, there is always the possibility of postponements. Rockstar has a history of delaying its releases to ensure that the game reaches the market with as much polishing as possible. GTA 5, for example, was postponed before it was released in 2013, as well as Red Dead Redemption 2.
In addition, a former Rockstar developer said the company will only be sure that it could meet 2025 around May of the same year. Therefore, players should prepare for the possibility of changes in the schedule.
Platforms: Where will it be possible to play GTA 6?
So far, Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will be released only for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. This means that past generation consoles, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be left out.
The decision makes sense, as the game promises to be one of the most technologically advanced franchise. Rockstar wants to make the most of the power of the new generation, offering cutting -edge graphics and a more immersive world.
The big question is about the release on the PC. The company has not yet confirmed if GTA 6 will reach computers, but if you follow the standard of previous games, PC players may have to wait until 2026 to receive the game. GTA 5, for example, was released on consoles in 2013, but only arrived at the PC two years later.
Vice City and a world larger than ever
GTA 6's first trailer confirmed that the game will be set in Vice City, the iconic city -inspired city. However, this time, Rockstar promises a much larger world than seen in the 2002 classic.
The game will take place in the fictional state of Leonida, which includes deputy City and regions around. This means that players will have access to a wide variety of scenarios, from vibrant urban areas to rural and marshy areas, similar to those found in Florida Royal.
Fans have already started analyzing the trailer for well -known places. The Ocean View Hotel, one of the most iconic points of the first deputy City, is present. In addition, new areas, such as rich neighborhoods and crowded beaches, suggest that the city will be more alive than ever.
Rockstar has described GTA 6 as the greatest evolution of the franchise so far. With an expanded map and an impressive level of detail, the game promises to redefine the open world concept.
Who are the protagonists of GTA 6?
One of the great news of the game is the introduction of Lucia, the first female protagonist of the series. In the trailer, she appears wearing a prison uniform, indicating that she has a problematic past and possibly begins the story running away from jail.
She is not alone. The trailer also shows a male character, still with no official name. The two seem to have a relationship inspired by the classic couple of criminals Bonnie and Clyde, suggesting that the narrative will revolve around robberies, escapes and betrayals.
Rockstar always creates memorable characters, and Lucia promises to be one of the most striking in the franchise. There is no
How will the gameplay be?
Rockstar has not yet released a gameplay trailer, but leaks indicate some significant changes in the gameplay of GTA 6. Among the news we can expect:
- Enhanced Stealth System - Characters can crawl, hide better and carry bodies.
- Smarter police - officers will have more advanced strategies, making the persecution more challenging.
- New Item System - Medicines as painkillers can be used to recover life.
- Expanded interaction with the environment - it will be possible to use objects such as makeshift weapons.
- Improved Wanted System - The famous five -star scheme continues, but the police will be more persistent.
In addition, the charts promise a huge leap compared to GTA 5. The city will be more detailed, with more expressive realistic lighting and NPCs, making the world more immersive.
What will happen to GTA Online?
With the arrival of GTA 6, many players wonder what the future of GTA Online will be, which is still an absolute success. Rockstar has already confirmed that GTA 5 online mode will remain active even after the release of the new game, but has not yet revealed if there will be a specific online version for GTA 6.
It is possible that the new game bring a reformulated multiplayer mode, taking advantage of the most advanced technologies of the new generation. Considering GTA Online's financial success, Rockstar will probably have great plans for GTA 6 online experience.
GTA 6 is already one of the most anticipated games of the decade. With an expanded world, captivating characters and gameplay improvements, Rockstar promises to deliver an innovative and striking title. The return to Vice City and Lucia's introduction as protagonist show that the studio is willing to evolve the franchise without losing its essence.
There are still many unanswered questions, especially about the exact release date and the arrival of the game to the PC. But with each new information revealed, the expectation of the players only increases.
Rockstar has a history of exceeding expectations, and it seems that GTA 6 will follow this path. Stay tuned for more news about the most anticipated game in recent years.
