Grand Theft Auto VI, officially revealed by Rockstar Games last December, quickly became a sensation, with its trailer breaking records as the most-viewed video game reveal on YouTube within 24 hours. The game is set in the modern-day fictional city of Leonida, a reimagined version of Florida. It will feature two main characters: Lucia and a male character, who fans speculate to be named Jason.
Despite internal conflicts at Rockstar over return-to-office policies, which have fueled speculation about possible delays, Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar appear steadfast in their commitment to a fall 2025 release. This resolve was highlighted in the earnings report and reaffirmed by Zelnick’s interview with IGN.
For now, Grand Theft Auto VI is confirmed to be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC version expected to follow sometime after the initial launch. PC players hope that the wait for their version will be brief.
As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await more updates and details about what promises to be another groundbreaking installment in the Grand Theft Auto series.
