Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) will be released in fall 2025, bringing long-awaited clarity to fans eagerly anticipating the next installment in the iconic series. This announcement, made during a recent earnings call by parent company Take-Two Interactive, has fueled excitement and speculation about the game’s features, gameplay, and pricing.
GTA 6 Release date and platforms
GTA 6 is set to launch in September 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S2. Unfortunately, PC players might have to wait until 2026 to get their hands on the game. This staggered release suggests that Rockstar wants to fine-tune the experience for PC gamers.
GTA 6 gameplay features
Leaks and early reports suggest that GTA 6 will bring significant advancements in open-world realism. The game will feature dual protagonists, Jason and Lucia, inspired by the notorious Bonnie and Clyde. This marks the first time in the franchise’s history that a female lead will be included. The game will return to Vice City, set within the fictional state of Leonida, offering a vast and diverse open world packed with missions, side activities, and endless exploration opportunities.
The Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) in GTA 6 are expected to interact more naturally, engaging in activities like shopping, exercising, and socialising, making the in-game world more immersive. The game might also feature smarter AI, more realistic physics, and upgraded graphics. Even the iconic Wanted system could get a revamp, with intelligent police behaviour and new stealth-based escape mechanics.
GTA 6 pricing
According to recent reports, GTA 6 may come with a higher price tag compared to its predecessors. The standard edition is expected to be priced around Rs 5,999, while special editions might go up to Rs 7,2991. In global markets, prices may reach $100 (approximately Rs 9,000). This price hike reflects the scale of the game and the enhanced features it promises to deliver.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the second trailer, which is expected to provide further details on gameplay mechanics, map design, and new features. Rockstar Games has a history of creating a buzz before major announcements, and this time is no different. The company recently reduced its Instagram posts to 12, a move that has historically preceded significant reveals.
