Grand Theft Auto 6

Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially deep into its development. After weathering years of rumors and even one sizeable leak, we've experienced its first reveal trailer and had details about the GTA 6 setting, characters, story, and release date confirmed. We know it will launch sometime in 2025—on consoles, at least.

We have a wait ahead, especially with Rockstar feeling no pressure to hurry while GTA Online is still crushing it after a decade. So don't bait your breath just yet, at least not until we get a nice close-up at GTA 6: because Rockstar doesn't like to rush for anyone or anything. Until that day, we'll be here gathering up any and all info that slips out for our enjoyment.

Here are all the key details about GTA 6, plus more information on the latest trailer, release date, and all our coverage on the game so far.

• Release date: 2025 on consoles, unknown PC release date
• Setting: Vice City, Leonida, a modern day parody of Miami, Florida
• Characters: Bonnie and Clyde-style duo Lucia and Jason lead the GTA 6 cast

When might the GTA 6 release date be?

We don't have a release date for GTA 6 yet, but we know that it's coming sometime in 2025. The big question at this point is: which platforms?

Yes, it will undoubtedly come to PC. But whether our version will launch simultaneously with the console release, or if we'll have to wait several months (or more) as we have with previous Rockstar games remains to be seen.

The GTA 6 reveal trailer is light on details and is way more about getting across the vibe of a modern, social media-infused Vice City. Portions of the video emulate Instagram- and TikTok-style social media posts, which could provide some interesting gameplay twists depending on how (or if) the social mechanic is integrated into the game. It also prominently features the song Love is a Long Road by Tom Petty—a native of Florida.

The reveal confirmed many rumored and leaked details: that our main characters Lucia and Jason would be a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired criminal duo and that it would be set in the GTA series Miami analog: Vice City. We got hints about the story including a prison stay for Lucia, a mystery heist the duo is working towards, and their apparent romantic involvement.

Fans were so excited about finally seeing a reveal that they took to recreating the GTA 6 trailer in real life and also recreating it in Minecraft.
