What We Know About GTA 6

While Rockstar Games has not officially locked in a date, speculation has it that the highly anticipated game will see a Q3 or Q4 2025 launch. On its official website, the creators mentioned,

"Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet. Coming 2025 to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S."

The game will initially be exclusive to current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. For PC players, reports indicate a potential release in 2026, which follows the console launch pattern seen with GTA V.

The latest installment of Grand Theft Auto will expand its virtual universe to Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida's landscapes. Rockstar claims to redefine the open-world gaming genre by creating a map that is vast and dynamic at the same time.

The release of GTA 6 is also expected to be a notable financial mark in 2025. Analysts project the game will generate over $3.2 billion in its first year, with $1 billion expected from pre-orders.

If these predictions come true, the latest edition of GTA might get tagged as one of the most successful entertainment products.
