Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) by Rockstar Games — What We Know So Far

Here’s a detailed update on one of the most anticipated video game releases ever — Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). This covers confirmed information, rumours, platforms, notable features, and what to watch out for.

📅 Release Date & Platforms

Initially, GTA 6 was expected to launch in fall 2025.

In May 2025, Rockstar officially announced a release date of May 26 2026.

More recently (November 2025), leaks and reports suggest a further delay to November 19 2026.

Confirmed platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC version is less clear (likely later).

🌍 Setting & Characters

The game returns to a modern-day version of Vice City (inspired by Miami) and the fictional state of Leonida.

Main protagonists: Lucia (female lead) and Jason — marking the first time a female protagonist is forefront in the GTA mainline series.

🔧 Key Features & What’s New

Very large open world, with multiple locations, dynamic world systems, and immersive detail.

Enhanced visuals & technology (new engine upgrades, higher fidelity).

Modern setting with thematic focus on crime-duo narrative (Bonnie & Clyde style) and social-media era culture.

⚠️ Important Notes & Delays

Development delays are confirmed: Rockstar emphasised additional time needed to “deliver the level of quality you expect and deserve.”

Be cautious about rumours: Many unverified leaks still circulate. Always rely on official Rockstar announcements.

Platform disparity: Older generations (PS4/Xbox One) are likely not supported.

✅ Final Take

GTA 6 is shaping up to be a landmark title for Rockstar — but it means the wait continues a bit longer than some hoped. If you’re planning to play it:

Be prepared for PS5/Xbox Series first.

Expect a world with high ambition, big scale, and narrative changes compared to previous entries.

Set your expectations for a late 2026 window, and keep an eye on official channels for marketing, trailers, and gameplay reveals.
