As of March 14, 2025, here are the latest updates on Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6):
Release Date and Platforms
Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 is scheduled for release in the third or fourth quarter of 2025, specifically targeting a fall launch between September and December. The game will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. While a PC version has not been officially announced, reports suggest that it may follow in early 2026.
Setting and Characters
GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, featuring Vice City as its central location—a reimagined version of Miami. The narrative is expected to revolve around a criminal duo: Lucia, the series's first female protagonist since 2000, and her male partner.
User-Generated Content
Rockstar is reportedly incorporating user-generated content (UGC) features into GTA 6, similar to platforms like Roblox and Fortnite. The company is engaging with creators from these communities to develop custom experiences within the game. This move represents a shift for Rockstar, which has traditionally maintained strict control over its game content.
Pricing Speculations
There are rumors that GTA 6 may be priced at around $100 (£77.46), higher than the typical video game price of approximately £50. This speculation has led to discussions among gamers regarding the game's value proposition.
Financial Outlook
Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, reported a smaller-than-expected net loss in the recent quarter and reaffirmed the fall 2025 launch for GTA 6. The company's stock experienced a significant increase following this announcement, reflecting strong investor confidence in the upcoming release.
Please note that while these updates are based on current reports and announcements, details may evolve as the release date approaches.
