Open world games and enthusiasts, the internet is rushing with speculations about the GTA6 release date. Some of these are true and some are total hoaxes to allure the excited players.
If you are reading this article, you must be a GTA5 player looking for an upgrade to a more high-end release, well, stay right here to know so far about this highly anticipated game.
Gta6 Release: When the Buzz Started
The first glimpse of GTA6 surfaced back in 2022 when someone illegally accessed the Rockstar Games. The leaks included some footage and source code of the game. It started the unending disruption in the gaming community and it has been a year but you can still see people arguing over a possible GTA6 release date on online discussion forums.
GTA6 Release Date:
The first announcement of gta6 was made by the official Twitter account of Rockstar Games in which the developers confirmed “the development of the next entry in the series”
This was not the last official announcement as the developers also had to address the leaks saying “It is disappointing but the development will go on as planned” after around 7 months.
Now according to the latest news, the gt6 game will be released between 2024-2025. As there are no official statements we can not pinpoint the exact date of the release which is disappointing for many players who were looking forward to pre-order GTA6.
If you are wondering about a trailer for GTA6, well you can not get one as there is not any news about the trailer either. However, we are hoping that the developers will release the trailer as soon as the release date approaches.
GTA6 Leaks: Glimpse into Characters, Map, and Story
The GTA6 breachers who were arrested after the leaks released pre-Alpha State data of the game. Let us take you back to September 18, 2022, when the GTA6 was leaked. There was around a 53-minute video of the test gt6 gameplay.
The 90 clips were released on GTA forums by a teenager named Arion Kurtaj who posted the videos on the forums under the name teapotuberhacker. One of the major things that the players saw was the theme of a female protagonist named Lucia.
In some clips, Lucia and Jason were holding dinner, and in one clip, the male playable character Jason was seen in a metro train station. Moreover, the male player Jason was also seen in a nightclub and Lucia standing by the road. This takes us to the next question of what will be the location of gta6.
Although, there is too much unnecessary speculation about the maps we will cut right to the chase and tell you that the most reliable sources such as Bloomberg suggest that you will see the Rockstar’s fictional Miami “Vice City” in the game.
We can not say that this will be the only location. Some zones of North and South America were expected at first but now are rumored to be not a part of the GTA6 map, still, we are sure that there will be more locations in this series of Grand Theft Auto.
Lastly, let us see what is the background and story behind GTA6. The story of GTA6 is based on Bonnie and Clyde, two car and bank robbers bound by love and shot dead by officers in Louisiana in 1934.
There is no further mention of any plot but the developers are looking forward to writing less comedic lines and sparing the marginalized groups from jokes.
GTA6 News and Speculations About the Release Date
After the GTA6 leaks, the developers were persistent that the leaks did not affect the game development which is true because the leaks only suggested the pre-alpha state of the game. Therefore, we will not know soon about the complete version of the game.
As mentioned above, the release date is still a year or two ahead which is made clear by the latest development. But if you are wondering about October 2024 as a potential release, you must learn that the rumor was debunked as an AI voice.
However, Rockstar Gaming staff has also backed the release within the next two years. In recent Take-Two earning calls the CEO also cued toward 2024 or 2025 as possible release years by saying “The next year will include a new record level of operating performance”.
We do not exactly know what that means but according to our estimate and all crossed fingers are hoping to finally see GTA6 in the upcoming years.
Some other sources such as GamesRadar and Microsoft hinted towards the game being in the final polishing phase and the 2024 release.
No one can say when the game will come out but the sources and industry analysts are hopeful about 2024. Do not worry, we will let you know as soon as there is some official date announcement by the Rockstar Games.
Expected Platforms of GTA6
We can not make any conclusion about the platform yet but the most rational suggestion is, that GTA6 will be released on the Xbox series X|S or a PS5.
Judging by the previous release we also expect Rockstar to release a PC version of the game after some time but we are certain that the game will not be compatible with outdated platforms such as Xbox One or PS4.
GTA6 Possible Gameplay
The gameplay suggests two robbers as mentioned above named Lucia and Jason. The major cut-outs of the gameplay that the world saw in the leaked videos were Lucia firing at hostages, the two protagonists stealing cop cars, and shooting from the car using a rifle.
So the gameplay will be pretty immersed with controllable cars, boats, and many NPCs. The playable characters will be in full control to drive the car wheels. Chair angles and more.
The characters will also participate in any fight with more enhanced mechanics. For example, they will be able to cover their face to avoid headshots, crouch, and crawl. We think that all the wait will be worth it for this high-end open-world game.
That’s all for Now
This is what we know so far about the GTA6 release date, gameplay, and story. For more definitive information about the game’s release, we all have to wait, and meanwhile, you can go purchase the other open-world games for hands-on practice.
