Imagine it or not, it has been over a decade for the reason that final GTA sport. Whereas tons of individuals are nonetheless dumping tons of of hours into GTA On-line, everybody had been (not so) patiently ready for Rockstar to lastly verify {that a} new entry is within the works. Regardless of many leaks and rumors, the crew held sturdy till late 2023. Now that the sport is lastly confirmed, we’ve got much more strong floor to cowl when it comes to what Grand Theft Auto 6 will supply. That is going to be the most important sport of the technology, and by far essentially the most anticipated upcoming sport, so let’s hotwire a automotive and pull off a heist to get all the knowledge there may be about GTA 6.
GTA 6 launch date
Rockstar Video games
GTA 6 is ready to launch someday in fall 2025, based on stories. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar Video games’ mother or father firm Take-Two Interactive, confirmed the launch window in a Could 2024 earnings name.
“Our outlook displays a narrowing of Rockstar Video games’ beforehand established window of calendar 2025 to fall of calendar 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI. We’re extremely assured that Rockstar Video games will ship an unparalleled leisure expertise, and our expectations for the industrial impression of the title proceed to extend,” Zelnick defined in a press launch discussing the outlook for fiscal 12 months 2025.
Whereas nothing concrete or new, the most recent Take-Two earnings name did verify that GTA 6 remains to be focusing on that very same fall 2025 launch window. This means that, for now, no delays are anticipated.
GTA 6 trailer
Watch Trailer 1: Tuesday, December 5 at 9AM ET
The GTA 6 trailer was introduced to be launched on December 5, 2023, however was dropped a day early after a leaked model discovered its method on-line. Regardless, we now have our first have a look at the world and characters.
The protagonists of GTA 6 will likely be a pair somewhat than a single character or trio like previous video games. First is Lucia, who seems to have some prison background based mostly on her showing in a jail uniform within the trailer. The opposite lead is a male character who we don’t have a reputation for simply but, however is clearly her associate in crime — and romance by the seems to be of it.
Maybe a very powerful a part of any GTA sport is the setting, and for GTA 6, Rockstar is bringing us again to Vice Metropolis. In fact, this time we’ll be seeing it within the modern-day as a substitute of the late Eighties like earlier than. The trailer exhibits a variety of environments, from seashores and bustling metropolis streets to suburbs and swamps.
GTA 6 platforms
Rockstar Video games
GTA 6 is barely formally confirmed to be coming to PlayStation 5and Xbox Sequence X/S at launch. Whereas we are able to safely say this sport received’t come to last-generation consoles or the Swap, it not being on PC does seem to be a wierd omission. GTA 5 did take two years to come back to PC, however Crimson Useless Redemption 2 arrived solely about two weeks later, so it’s doable the PC launch would possibly simply come barely later, however that may nonetheless be a giant disappointment for that participant base. That does depart the following Nintendo console up within the air as nicely.
GTA 6 gameplay
Rockstar Video games
The trailer didn’t present any actual gameplay for GTA 6 and as a substitute was all cinematic. Based mostly on that, although, we are able to assume fairly a bit about what the sport will play like.
Simply to get it out of the way in which, sure, you possibly can relaxation assured figuring out that GTA 6 will characteristic loads of taking pictures, driving, and prison actions. The trailer confirmed off robberies, high-speed chases, and loads of partying. Past that, nevertheless, we primarily have to invest or go off of very outdated leaks. We do suppose that GTA 6 will proceed the development of permitting gamers to swap between first- and third-person views. This was added to GTA 5 and included at launch for Crimson Useless Redemption 2.
If the trailer is any indication, the quantity of characters and motion on-screen at any time means the world will likely be extra densely packed than ever. Every NPC seems to be distinctive and seems very a lot “alive” whereas interacting with the world. Apart from taking pictures and operating them over, we hope to see much more methods to work together with common NPCs.
In a world that large, count on tons of facet actions, minigames, and different distractions to find and waste away hours on. Every title has upped the ante when it comes to extras, and we don’t suppose GTA 6 will fall quick right here.
Will GTA 6 have GTA On-line?
Rockstar Video games
Arguably essentially the most distinguished change that got here with GTA V was the implementation of GTA On-line. This mode grew to become the spine of the sport, roping in hundreds of thousands of gamers (and {dollars}) for a shared expertise. The bottom sport is great, however GTA On-line is what has stored GTA V related almost a decade after launch.
The purpose is that we’ll virtually actually get some kind of multiplayer performance with GTA 6. Whether or not which means your complete sport is on-line solely or if there’s a devoted multiplayer mode just like the earlier installment stays to be seen — however we are able to virtually assure it’ll have a web-based mode.
Contemplating simply how profitable GTA On-line grew to become, it’s unlikely Rockstar will drop multiplayer performance from the following installment.
Oddly sufficient, GTA 6’s model of GTA On-line apparently received’t embrace devoted servers. This comes by the use of insider Tez, who mentioned: “Take-Two rejected a proposal for devoted servers just a few years in the past. They thought of it cost-prohibitive for them.”
The actual large query is that if this new GTA On-line will likely be obtainable at launch or be a staggered launch. The primary model got here out virtually a month after GTA 5, and Crimson Useless On-line took even longer at virtually seven months. We don’t count on it to be almost that lengthy for GTA 6, however Rockstar might need to give gamers just a few weeks to play the principle sport earlier than tempting them with the net mode. And it could even be like a second launch to get again within the headlines.
When will you have the ability to pre-order GTA 6?
As anticipated, GTA 6 pre-orders aren’t obtainable but. For the reason that sport isn’t coming till 2025 on the earliest, we don’t anticipate getting any pre-order info till that date is nailed down someday that very same 12 months. In fact, it could possibly be even additional out if these delays do find yourself being true. In any case, we’ll replace you with pre-order info on GTA 6 as quickly as it’s obtainable.
