GTA 6

After GTA San Andreas, Vice City, Liberty City, and GTA V, it's almost time: GTA VI is coming. In 2025 or 2026, you can play Grand Theft Auto 6 as Lucia and Jason. Play their storyline or dive into an online lobby with your friends. Drive in the most expensive cars and fly across the new map in your private jet. Grand Theft Auto will be released on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This game will also be a good test for the PlayStation 5 Pro. As soon as GTA 6 is available, you can pre-order the game at Coolblue.

Lucia and Jason

Lucia and Jason

In the trailer that was released on 5 December 2023, we see 2 new characters: the couple Lucia and Jason. Lucia will be the first playable female character in GTA. Lucia and Jason have their own Bonnie and Clyde storyline as bank robbers, where trust is even more important than usual.

Vice City, Leonida

Vice City, Leonida

Grand Theft Auto VI takes place in Vice City in the state Leonida. We can see a small part of the map in the trailer, which is a combination of 3 cities. There are rumors that this map will be 2 times as large as that of GTA V and that there's even space for expansions. Rockstar can also edit the map later on, so it's never the same.

All rumors about GTA 6

The story

The story

After the trailer was released, rumors began circling. Especially about the 2 main characters we see in the trailer. For example, Jason won't be voiced by Troy Baker, who we know from The Last of Us, but by Dylan Rourke. Lucia will probably be voiced by Manni L. Perez from The Blacklist. We can also see that Lucia is wearing an ankle bracelet in the trailer, which may cause restrictions in the map while playing. There's also a chance that an aging system will be added in GTA 6. The longer you play the game, the older the character becomes.

Map and graphics

Map and graphics

There are some more rumors about the map. Vice City might have 4 smaller cities in addition to the 3 cities. According to the leaked images, there's a lake in the middle of the 3 cities. Because the map is based on Miami, there'll be different areas. For example, the Florida Keys, a row of islands, and the Everglades will be added. In the trailer, you can also see places like the Vice City Strip, Vercetti Estate, and Ocean Drive returning. Of course, Vercetti Estate is Tommy's house from GTA Vice City, which he took over after the fight with Ricardo Diaz. There'll be multiple Easter eggs from previous GTA games like this hidden in GTA 6.

In-game additions

In-game additions

Apart from new additions, some things will also return. For example, there'll be new sneaking options, so you can go into an enemy base unseen. The 'Wanted' system will also return and you can enjoy the best music again in your stolen car. Rumor has it that Joe Rogan from ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ will be a part of the in-game radio. There'll also be an inventory system like the one we know from Red Dead Redemption 2, in which you choose which weapons you bring. You can also use medicine and painkillers in the game, so you can quickly raise your health if you're hit.

Realistic gameplay

Realistic gameplay

With the size of this realistic map, Rockstar probably built the game on a new engine: Rage 9 Engine. This is a newer version of the engine that Rockstar currently uses for their games. Because of this, we can probably expect that the graphic design of GTA 6 will look a lot better compared to GTA 5. There are also rumors that the game will have an extensive metro network and that players can sleep in hotels. Unfortunately, this will result in a very large game that requires a lot of storage capacity, because the game is already estimated at 200GB.

Release date

Release date

Of course, the release date is still unknown. Rockstar itself revealed in the trailer that the game is scheduled for 2025. According to some insiders, the game could come out in January or February 2025, while others say it should happen around the fall of 2025 or even in 2026. According to the latest rumors, the production of GTA 6 is going according to schedule. So the expected release date for the PlayStation and Xbox is the fall of 2025. PC gamers will have to wait a little longer, because there isn't any news on the release of GTA 6 on the PC.
