GTA 6: Release timeline, second trailer hints, and gameplay details | Technology News
Grand Theft Auto 6, popularly referred to as GTA VI, is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated video games of all time is just a few months away, but that hasn’t stopped the fanbase from speculating what the upcoming game will have to offer. While nothing is confirmed at the moment, from release timeline to second trailer, here’s everything we know so far about GTA 6.
GTA 6 release date
Earlier this year, Rockstar Games’ parent company – Take-Two Interactive recently announced during its earnings calls that GTA 6’s game development is currently on track and not facing any significant delays.
However, in a statement to gaming publication IGN, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said that “there’s always a risk of slippage” but they “feel really good about” the launch date. If everything goes according to plan, we expect Rockstar Games to launch GTA 6 in fall this year, with some sources indicating the game will be coming sometime in September.
If we take a look at Rockstar Games’ past track record, we might see GTA 6 coming to the PC sometime in 2027 or 2028. Also, in a recent interview with GameIndustry.biz, a company representative confirmed that they aren’t interested in bringing GTA 6 to the Game Pass on day one.
GTA 6 maps and gameplay
The first GTA 6 trailer does confirm that the game will feature some parts of Vice City, but information about the main characters comes from the 2022 leak, where an employee posted several videos that show an hour worth of GTA 6 footage.
As it turns out, GTA 6 will have a male lead named Jason alongside a female lead named Lucia, which will be a first for the video game. While not much is known about the duo, by the looks of it, they may have a Bonnie and Clyde-style relationship as both can be spotted committing crimes together.
Apart from Vice City’s iconic landmarks like Starfish Island, we might also see part of Florida’s Everglades. Recently, a report also hinted that Rockstar Games is in talks with some of the most popular Roblox, Fortnite and GTA creators to bring “custom experiences” to GTA 6. If true, this might mean that we will see custom made maps and gameplay experience when playing online.

GTA 6 price
In a report titled ‘The State of Video Gaming in 2025’, industry analyst Matthew Ball claimed that GTA 6 could cross the $100 mark, but since there’s official word from Rockstar Games, we suggest you take this information with a huge grain of salt.
