GTA 6 expected to launch in autumn 2025

Rockstar Games is preparing for the highly-anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), expected to launch in autumn 2025. The game is poised to be a major entertainment hit, but fans are concerned it could be delayed due to ongoing speculation. Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently calmed fears during a financial earnings call, stating they are confident about meeting the release timeline. Initial excitement followed the first trailer, released over a year ago, which set off record-breaking viewership. Zelnick has also hinted that the game will likely be available on the Nintendo Switch 2. However, the wait for a second trailer continues, leaving fans eager for more details about gameplay and the storyline. Speculation around the launch has been fueled by comparisons to previous titles, like Red Dead Redemption 2, which faced multiple delays. Reports suggest that internal challenges at Rockstar have raised concerns about meeting the 2025 target. Despite this, Zelnick remains optimistic, claiming the game will be extraordinary. The game is said to feature multiple protagonists, including a character named Lucia. Rumors suggest the plot may be loosely based on the infamous duo Bonnie and Clyde. The game’s setting will take players back to Vice City, a fictional location inspired by Miami. As for pricing, some insiders claim the budget for GTA 6 could reach up to $2 billion. Fans speculate that the game might retail for around $150, but this is considered unlikely. Typically, AAA titles range from £69.99 to £100. GTA 6 is officially confirmed for the latest consoles, including the PS5 and Xbox Series X, while its compatibility with older systems remains unclear. As of now, Rockstar has not announced any plans for a PC version or cross-platform gameplay. Enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting further updates, likely to be revealed in the next trailer.
