Rockstar Games’ upcoming title, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), remains highly anticipated, with new updates emerging regarding its launch timeline, pricing, and pre-orders. Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, has officially announced that the game will release in fall 2025. Meanwhile, a Malaysian retailer has already started accepting pre-orders, raising speculation about an imminent announcement.
Take-Two Interactive confirmed in a financial report that GTA 6 is set for a fall 2025 release. This timeframe suggests a potential launch between September and November 2025. Industry analysts speculate that Rockstar will avoid launching the game close to Borderlands 4, scheduled for September 23, 2025, to prevent market competition. As a result, a late October or November release appears likely.
Although Rockstar Games has not officially announced pre-orders, Malaysian gaming retailer Gamers Hideout has started accepting deposits for GTA 6. Customers are required to pay RM14.90 (approximately Rs 290) as a placeholder amount. However, past trends indicate that Rockstar typically confirms pre-orders closer to the game’s launch. Fans are advised to wait for official updates.
Pricing details remain unconfirmed, but industry reports suggest GTA 6 could cost over $100, surpassing the standard pricing of AAA games. According to gaming analyst Matthew Ball, the increased cost is attributed to the game’s expansive development scale. In India, the base edition is projected to be around Rs 5,999, while premium editions may reach Rs 7,299 or higher. Official pricing details are still awaited.
The first trailer confirmed GTA 6’s setting in Vice City within the fictional state of Leonida. Leaked footage indicates a dual-protagonist structure featuring Jason and Lucia, along with expansive environments resembling Florida. Speculation suggests that a second trailer may be released on April 1, providing additional gameplay insights.
