Because of the brilliant success of GTA 5, GTA 6 has become one of the most anticipated games in recent years. Below I will introduce all the details of the latest iteration of Rockstar’s biggest IP.
GTA 6 Release Date
Chief Finance Officer Lainie Goldstein revealed that an important product that the company will launch in 2025 is expected to be a major turning point in fiscal year 2025. In Take-Two Interactive investor call for fiscal year 2024, it was announced that GTA 6 will be released in the fall of 2025.
Main Characters
According to the first trailer of GTA 6, there are two protagonists in the game, namely Lucia and an unnamed male. Both characters seem to be criminals trying to make money through various illegal activities. This dual-protagonist differs from the three-character in GTA 5. Since there seems to be one less protagonist, it may simplify character switching and may introduce cooperative game elements.
Setting
In contrast to GTA 5, GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, where the iconic Vice City is also located. Vice City has always been a beloved area for fans, where they often spend countless hours. This new setting is inspired by Florida, featuring swamplands and bustling urban areas and various key areas of the state. This provides players with more exploration and adventure.
Platforms
GTA 6 has been confirmed to be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Although a PC version is expected, it seems that GTA 6 will follow the trend of Rockstar releases and will be released after the initial console release window. Perhaps less than a year, if the developer wants to ensure that the port is as error-free as possible, a later PC release is possible.
Map
As mentioned before, you will be taken to Florida clone Leonida, which covers various areas, including Vice City. Florida is a pretty big state in real life, and if it’s translated into game form, it’s almost twice the size of GTA 5 map, and of course if you get tired of always doing missions on the huge map, you can quickly get cars or houses by using GTA 6 Money. The original plan for GTA 6 was reported to make a map spanning both North and South America, so GTA 6 may be full of various shenanigans.
Price
The price of GTA 6 has always been one of the hottest topics in the game. Rumors have that it will cost around $150. But it’s not confirmed yet, and considering the tremendous investment in GTA 6’s production costs, it may also be one of the first mainstream games to be launched at a price of $80 to $90.
GTA 6 is expected to be a milestone release in the gaming industry, and you can expect more details to emerge as the fall 2025 release approaches.
