When it comes to the most talked-about game titles of 2025, GTA6 is undoubtedly the hottest candidate. Although Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of R-Star, confirmed again last year that the game is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2025, major media still have no agreement on the specific release time of the game, and related rumors are flying all over the sky. For example, on January 7, a screenshot of the game going to be released on November 28, 2025 caused widespread retweets, but was quickly deleted by the community platform. Until the game is officially released, this kind of rumor to attract traffic will definitely continue to appear, provoking players' nerves. In addition to gamers, many publishers are also keeping a close eye on the release date of GTA6 to avoid their own product schedules colliding with them. However, given that a big-budget project like GTA6 is likely not to be released as scheduled, it is better to delay it sooner rather than later. This year's more anticipated masterpieces, many of which are indeed scheduled in the first half of the year. For example, when IGN Japan invited editors from various countries to select the most anticipated Japanese games in 2025, some French editors claimed that the only one that could compete with GTA6 this year was "Monster Hunt: Wildlands". At the time, CAPCOM boasted that "even GTA6 will not shake the release date of Wildland". As far as the results go, they did, and Wilderness is already scheduled for release on February 28 of this year. As for your GTA6 postponement, of course it's none of my CAPCOM's business. Take-Two itself is also adjusting the release schedule of its games, such as the latest game in the "Civilization" series, "Civilization 7", which is also scheduled to be launched on February 11 in the first half of the year. The company's CEO said, "We don't and don't need to crowd together important game launches. "In any case, the launch of GTA6 is an event that the entire gaming industry is watching. DFC Intelligence predicts that GTA 6 will sell 40 million copies in its first year and generate more than $3 billion in revenue. And GameSpot also posted that this game will "reshape the game industry". In the article, Newzoo analyst Emmanuel Rosier not only expressed great expectations for the game's gameplay innovation, but also placed great expectations on it as a "confrontational service game". "R Star has always been committed to creating games that redefine the genre, which allows GTA6 to set a new industry standard," the analyst said. It will challenge the gaming market, which is currently dominated by service games. Whether GTA6 adapts to today's gaming environment will not only determine its success or failure, but may also redefine the future of open-world gaming. The British Independent also published an article saying that the game release is going "step by step", saying that the game is "worth the wait". The article also summarizes a series of news about GTA6, which has been compiled by the matrix.

GTA6 Time: When will the game be released? In 2023, R Star confirmed the existence of GTA6 with its first official trailer, which broke multiple viewing records on YouTube and put the game in the spotlight ever since. So, what do we know about GTA6? When will the game be released? How much does it cost? Here's a summary of all the information we already have. While no exact release date has yet been announced, the December 2023 launch trailer provides fans with a window to launch — at the end of the 90-second trailer, when the title flashes on the screen, the words "Coming soon in 2025" are written in bold white letters underneath the screen. However, not long after the trailer was released, the talk of an early 2025 release was officially deleted. However, on May 16, 2024, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick announced on an earnings call that GTA6 will be released in 2025, and said that the company is confident that the game will be launched in the fall of 2025. However, will there be delays? By reviewing R-Star's previous schedule for the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, we may be able to find more clues about the release date. The first trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in October 2016, and the company said the game would be released in the second half of 2017. Subsequently, the game was postponed twice, the first time to early 2018, and the final official release date was set for October 26, 2018 - two years after the trailer was released. If the next GTA game follows the same release strategy and takes into account the delay, we can see that the release of the game is 2026 at the latest. In March 2024, rumors began circulating about the postponement of the GTA6 release date. According to a report released by Kotaku, R-Star insiders believe that the game will be delayed until the end of 2025 or even early 2026. In February 2024, R-Star required its employees to return to the office five days a week. Kotaku said that while employee safety and product quality were the main reasons, they learned from sources that the development of GTA6 had begun to "fall behind", with sources saying that R-Star's leadership was concerned that the game would miss its 2025 release date. Kotaku added: "While early 2025 was once possible, it is no longer a launch target for GTA6. "In May last year, CEO Zenick revealed that the new target for GTA6 is the fall of 2025, and this was obvious. In December 2024, when Mather asked CEO Zelnick to summarize GTA6 in a few words, Zelnick further inspired expectations. "I think it's going to be special and it's worth the wait", he replied, adding later, "I think it's going to be breathtaking". (But the statement "it's worth the wait" made many players in the comment section feel that the game is going to be postponed). During a recent earnings call, GTA6 publisher Take-Two once again said that the game is expected to be released in 2025. It seems that only time will tell when the game will be released.

GTA6 Location: Where is Vice City? In September 2022, a hacker leaked 90 videos and screenshots of GTA6. While the videos and screenshots are described as early development documents, they all but confirm that the game will take place in Vice City. And this was confirmed in the subsequent premiere trailer. Vice City is largely based on Miami, a coastal region of the United States. In the trailer, we see news and road signs with place names, which indicate that the map of Vice City will be much larger than the original 2002 game. Reddit users have simulated a map of Vice City based on the leaked information. The trailer confirms to us that Leonidas is the seat of Vice City, with a social media post read: "Only in Leonidas, crotch grabbing is an apology for bad driving." "Other road signs say VCI Airport, Catalunya Boulevard, Kelly County, Sin Beach and VC/Keys Port.

The story and characters of GTA6: who will be the protagonist of the new game? Like GTA5, the new game will have multiple protagonists. A leak in 2022 introduced us to the new protagonist of GTA6, with most of the footage showing a Latin American woman named Lucia and an unnamed man allegedly named Jason. According to people familiar with the game's development, this latest game is based on the experiences of real-life criminals Bonnie and Clyde. We got a clearer picture of Lucia in the premiere trailer. In the opening shot, she is dressed in a prison uniform and talking to a parole officer, which we guess is the case. Actor Gregory Connors will reportedly play Jason in GTA6. While the news has yet to be officially confirmed, Connors listed in a recent resume update that he starred as the "main character" in the R-Star game in 2025. A few days ago, Troy Baker, a famous video game voice actor known for his main characters in The Last of Us and Uncharted, confirmed that he will not play any major roles in GTA6. GTA5 is the first game in the series to introduce three playable protagonists – Michael, Trevor, and Franklin – and the upcoming game is expected to follow a similar pattern, with players able to switch characters between missions.

GTA6: How much does it cost? In the years leading up to the game's release, there was little discussion about the game's price online, but fans speculated that the game's price could be higher as a result of leakers and uncles suggesting that the game had a budget of $1 billion to $2 billion. A widely circulated rumor is that the game will be priced at $150 (about 1,100 yuan). Of course, we think this is unlikely. Most AAA games start at around £69.99 ($87), with the Deluxe Edition selling for up to £100 ($120). Even if the production cost is around $1 billion, we don't expect the pricing to be significantly higher than the current blockbuster.

GTA6: Which platform will it run on, will it be cross-platform? Currently, the only confirmed GTA6 landing platforms are PS5 and Xbox Series X. The question is: will it run 4K and 60 fps on PS5 Pro? At the moment, industry insiders are not sure. In September 2024, IGN asked Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter if the PS5 Pro could run GTA6 at 60 fps. The answer is a resounding no. "No, I can't. GTA always runs complex simulation calculus. This puts a lot of strain on the CPU, which is why every GTA game originally ran at 30 fps (or less) on its console platform. The PS5 Pro uses the same CPU as the PS5, and if the PS5 version is aiming for 30 fps, it will be extremely challenging for the Pro to reach 60 fps. Leadbetter explains. So, will there be Xbox One and PS4 versions? By the time GTA6 is released, both PS5 and Xbox Series X will be five years old. So, it's uncertain if the game will support older consoles. Also, R Star has not confirmed whether the game will launch on PC, and there is no word on whether it will support cross-platform play. Therefore, for non-console players, it may take a longer time to play GTA6.
