GTA 6: release date speculation, trailer, gameplay, and more

Believe it or not, it has been over a decade since the last GTA game. While tons of people are still dumping hundreds of hours into GTA Online, everyone has been (not so) patiently waiting for Rockstar to finally confirm that a new entry is in the works. Despite many leaks and rumors, the team held strong until late 2023. Now that the game is finally confirmed, we have a lot more solid ground to cover in terms of what Grand Theft Auto 6 will be. This is going to be the biggest game of the generation, if not all time, so let’s hotwire a car and pull off a heist to get all the information about GTA 6 there is.

While this is not official, some reports suggest that the staff working on GTA 6 think it might slip into 2026. According to Kotaku, the original plan was for the game to come out in early 2025, but now the target is late 2025 with the possibility of it being delayed into 2026. For now, 2025 is the official word, but just be prepared for possible delays on a game as massive as this.

First is Lucia, who appears to have some criminal background based on her appearing in a prison uniform in the trailer. The other lead is a male character who we don’t have a name for just yet, but is clearly her partner in
