GTA 6: everything we know so far

Believe it aliases not, it has been complete a decade since nan past GTA game. While tons of group are still dumping hundreds of hours into GTA Online, everyone had been (not so) patiently waiting for Rockstar to yet corroborate that a caller introduction is successful nan works. Despite galore leaks and rumors, nan squad held beardown until precocious 2023. Now that nan crippled is yet confirmed, we person a batch much coagulated crushed to screen successful position of what Grand Theft Auto 6 will offer. This is going to beryllium nan biggest crippled of nan generation, and by acold nan astir anticipated upcoming game, truthful let’s hotwire a car and propulsion disconnected a heist to get each nan accusation location is astir GTA 6.

GTA 6 merchandise day window

Rockstar Games

GTA 6 is group to merchandise sometime successful autumn 2025, according to reports. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar Games’ genitor institution Take-Two Interactive, confirmed nan motorboat model successful a May 2024 net call.

“Our outlook reflects a narrowing of Rockstar Games’ antecedently established model of almanac 2025 to autumn of almanac 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI. We are highly assured that Rockstar Games will present an unparalleled intermezo experience, and our expectations for nan commercialized effect of nan title proceed to increase,” Zelnick explained successful a press release discussing nan outlook for fiscal twelvemonth 2025.

During an interview pinch CNBC successful November 2024, Zelnick erstwhile again commented connected nan merchandise model for GTA 6, stating, “Well, location is slippage successful nan manufacture and we’re not immune from that. However, we narrowed nan timing because we are highly assured successful that timing.” So, while location is ever a chance problems originate that origin a delay, everything appears to beryllium connected way for nan crippled to instrumentality to that autumn 2025 window.

GTA 6 trailer

The GTA 6 trailer was announced to beryllium released connected December 5, 2023, but was dropped a time early aft a leaked type recovered its measurement online. Regardless, we now person our first look astatine nan world and characters.

The protagonists of GTA 6 will beryllium a brace alternatively than a azygous characteristic aliases trio for illustration past games. First is Lucia, who appears to person immoderate criminal inheritance based connected her appearing successful a situation azygous successful nan trailer. The different lead is simply a antheral characteristic who we don’t person a sanction for conscionable yet, but is intelligibly her partner successful crime — and romance by nan looks of it.

Perhaps nan astir important portion of immoderate GTA crippled is nan setting, and for GTA 6, Rockstar is bringing america backmost to Vice City. Of course, this clip we’ll beryllium seeing it successful nan modern time alternatively of nan precocious 1980s for illustration before. The trailer shows a wide scope of environments, from beaches and bustling metropolis streets to suburbs and swamps.

GTA 6 platforms

Rockstar Games

GTA 6 is only officially confirmed to beryllium coming to PlayStation 5and Xbox Series X/S astatine launch. While we tin safely opportunity this crippled won’t travel to last-generation consoles aliases nan Switch, it not being connected PC does look for illustration a unusual omission. GTA 5 did return 2 years to travel to PC, but Red Dead Redemption 2 arrived only astir 2 weeks later, truthful it is imaginable nan PC merchandise mightiness conscionable travel somewhat later, but that would still beryllium a large disappointment for that subordinate base. That does time off nan next Nintendo console up successful nan aerial arsenic well.

GTA 6 gameplay

Rockstar Games

The trailer didn’t show immoderate existent gameplay for GTA 6 and alternatively was each cinematic. Based connected that, though, we tin presume rather a spot astir what nan crippled will play like.

Just to get it retired of nan way, yes, you tin remainder assured knowing that GTA 6 will characteristic plentifulness of shooting, driving, and criminal activities. The trailer showed disconnected robberies, high-speed chases, and plentifulness of partying. Beyond that, however, we chiefly person to estimate aliases spell disconnected of very aged leaks. We do deliberation that GTA 6 will proceed nan inclination of allowing players to switch betwixt first- and third-person perspectives. This was added to GTA 5 and included astatine motorboat for Red Dead Redemption 2.

If nan trailer is immoderate indication, nan magnitude of characters and action on-screen astatine immoderate time  intends nan world will beryllium much densely packed than ever. Each NPC looks unsocial and appears very overmuch “alive” while interacting pinch nan world. Aside from shooting and moving them over, we dream to spot a batch much ways to interact pinch regular NPCs.

In a world that big, expect tons of broadside activities, minigames, and different distractions to observe and discarded distant hours on. Each title has upped nan ante successful position of extras, and we don’t deliberation GTA 6 will autumn short here.

Will GTA 6 person GTA Online?

Rockstar Games

Arguably nan astir salient alteration that came with GTA V was nan implementation of GTA Online. This mode became nan backbone of nan game, roping successful millions of players (and dollars) for a shared experience. The guidelines crippled is excellent, but GTA Online is what has kept GTA V applicable astir a decade aft launch.

The constituent is that we’ll almost surely get immoderate benignant of multiplayer functionality pinch GTA 6. Whether that intends nan full crippled is online only aliases if there’s a dedicated multiplayer mode for illustration nan erstwhile installment remains to beryllium seen — but we tin almost guarantee it will person an online mode.

Considering conscionable really successful GTA Online became, it’s improbable Rockstar will driblet multiplayer functionality from nan adjacent installment.

Oddly enough, GTA 6’s type of GTA Online apparently won’t see dedicated servers. This comes by measurement of insider Tez, who said: “Take-Two rejected a connection for dedicated servers a fewer years ago. They considered it cost-prohibitive for them.”

The existent large mobility is if this caller GTA Online will beryllium disposable astatine motorboat aliases beryllium a staggered release. The first type came retired almost a period aft GTA 5, and Red Dead Online took moreover longer astatine almost 7 months. We don’t expect it to beryllium astir that agelong for GTA 6, but Rockstar whitethorn want to springiness players a fewer weeks to play nan main crippled earlier tempting them pinch nan online mode. And it would besides beryllium for illustration a 2nd motorboat to get backmost successful nan headlines.

When will you beryllium capable to preorder GTA 6?

As expected, GTA 6 preorders aren’t disposable yet. Since nan crippled isn’t coming until 2025 astatine nan earliest, we don’t expect getting immoderate preorder accusation until that day is nailed down sometime that aforesaid year. Of course, it could beryllium moreover further retired if those delays do extremity up being true. In immoderate case, we will update you pinch preorder accusation connected GTA 6 arsenic soon arsenic it is available.
