Andrew

Grand Theft Auto 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest game releases of all time. With Rockstar Games keeping many details under wraps, fans have been analyzing every leak, teaser, and official statement to piece together what we can expect. Here’s everything we know about GTA 6 so far, including its release date, gameplay details, confirmed weapons, and more.

GTA 6 Release Date – When Is It Coming Out?

Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 will launch in Fall 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, there’s no official confirmation of a PC release at launch. Take-Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, reassured fans that the game is still on track to meet its release window, despite speculation about potential delays.

GTA 6 Platforms – Will It Come to PC?

While GTA 6 is confirmed for consoles, a PC version has not been announced yet. However, Take-Two’s CEO recently hinted that Rockstar tends to launch games on certain platforms first and then expand later. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 took a year to arrive on PC, it’s possible that GTA 6 will follow a similar pattern.

GTA 6 Map & Setting – Welcome Back to Vice City

GTA 6 will take place in Vice City and the surrounding areas of the state of Leonida, Rockstar’s version of Florida. The game is expected to feature the biggest and most detailed open world in GTA history, with dynamic weather, evolving locations, and a vast array of activities.

One interesting theory suggests that early in the game, the map might have restrictions based on Lucia's ankle monitor, potentially limiting where players can go at first.

GTA 6 Protagonists – Meet Lucia and Jason

For the first time in GTA history, the game will feature a female protagonist, Lucia, alongside her partner-in-crime, Jason. While Rockstar hasn’t revealed much about their story, leaks suggest a Bonnie and Clyde-style criminal adventure, where players will pull off heists, evade the law, and explore the open world together.

GTA 6 Weapons – New Guns & Features Confirmed

Weapons will be more immersive than ever, with Rockstar introducing new guns and gameplay mechanics. Some confirmed weapons include:

✅ New Weapons: Bolt Action Sniper, Fire Bottle, Flashbang, Golf Putter, Speargun
✅ Classic Favorites: Assault Rifle, RPG, Pistol, Pump Action Shotgun
✅ New Equipment: Lock Pick, Auto Dialer, Tracker Jammer, Trauma Kit

Rockstar is also bringing new gameplay mechanics, including more drive-by options, underwater shooting, and a redesigned weapon wheel similar to Red Dead Redemption 2. Players will also be able to drop weapons, switch hands while shooting, and carry only a limited number of guns at a time.

GTA 6 Online – What Can We Expect?

While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed details about GTA 6 Online, it's expected to build upon the massive success of GTA Online. Given the scale of the new map and Rockstar’s trend toward live-service games, we could see a larger multiplayer experience with evolving content over time.

Will GTA 6 Come to Nintendo Switch 2?

Take-Two has confirmed support for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, leading to speculation that GTA 6 could eventually be ported. However, many fans believe it's more likely that Rockstar will bring older titles like GTA 5 or Red Dead Redemption 2 to the Switch instead.

What’s Next for GTA 6?

With only months to go before launch, we can expect Rockstar to release more trailers, gameplay details, and official announcements in the coming months. Stay tuned as we continue covering every update, leak, and rumor leading up to GTA 6’s release!
