GTA 6 is drawing ever closer now that 2025 is finally here. The next huge Grand Theft Auto game from Rockstar has been at large for over a decade now. It is the long-awaited follow-up to 2012's GTA 5, which we now know will bring players back to the one and only Vice City for yet another high-octane open-world adventure.
Grand Theft Auto is renowned for its vibrant worldbuilding, open road cruising, memorable and tightly written cast of characters, and seedy hijinks galore. Thanks to the surprise dropped GTA 6 trailer, which set our heads spinning in December 2023, it's clear that GTA 6 is set to up the ante even further. The Miami-inspired City is looking bigger and better in the trailer, and thanks to the vast technological leaps we've seen since 2002's GTA: we're already gearing up to explore Vice in stunning 4k. We've got plenty of eagle-eyed pickups to digest with you over in our GTA 6 trailer breakdown if you're worried you missed anything, and for all fans of GTA Online, publisher Take Two Interactive has finally spoken on what will happen to it when GTA 6 launches.
We don't even have a firm GTA 6 release date, but that hasn't stopped the hype train. With some analysts "hoping" GTA 6 will normalize a $100 price tag, it will undoubtedly be one of the biggest new games coming our way this year (if its release target is met). Read on below as we take you through everything we know so far about GTA 6 in 2025, from the launch date window to its expected platforms, and much more.
While this seemingly put to rest a report via Kotaku suggesting GTA 6 may be pushed into 2026, former Rockstar dev Obbe Vermeij recently explained that Rockstar "is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish", citing the delay of GTA 4, which was made around four months before the release date. Vermeij also said that GTA 6 will sell "10+ years" since there's "no competition", meaning that Rockstar is "not going to release the game until they're 100% happy".
Rumors of a delay began in early 2024 after the news that Rockstar moved all of its employees back to full-time in-office work five days a week, which multiple of its developers have expressed concern about, particularly when it comes to the potential effects on the sequel. While there's still speculation doing the rounds that it might not make the window, for now, the GTA 6 release date of Fall 2025 remains.
