GTA 6 Release Date Confirmed: Expected Launch in Fall 2025

Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) will launch in fall 2025, with a release window between September and November. Speculation suggests that September 17, 2025, could be the official launch date, marking the 12th anniversary of GTA V. The game will first arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC version expected in 2026.

Rockstar Games is set to release the second GTA 6 trailer on April 1, 2025. The first trailer, released in December 2023, confirmed Vice City as the primary setting and introduced protagonists Jason and Lucia. The upcoming trailer is expected to provide additional details on gameplay mechanics, storyline, and new features.

Retailers in the United States and India are preparing for a surge in demand as GTA 6 pre-orders approach. While some international retailers have begun accepting unofficial pre-orders, Rockstar has yet to make an official announcement. Players are advised to wait for confirmed details before making purchases.

The standard edition of GTA 6 is projected to cost Rs 5,999 in India and $70 in the United States. Special editions, which may include collectibles and in-game bonuses, are expected to be priced at around Rs 7,299 or $100. Official pricing details are yet to be confirmed.

GTA 6 aims to surpass its predecessor with a larger, more interactive map, improved AI mechanics, and dynamic character interactions. The game will introduce multiple playable characters, expanding on the switching mechanics seen in GTA 5. Enhanced visuals and physics engines are expected to deliver a more immersive open-world experience.

The PC version of GTA 6 is expected to launch in 2026, following Rockstar’s pattern of staggered releases. Historically, GTA titles have debuted on consoles before receiving PC adaptations. An official release date for the PC version will likely be announced after the initial console launch.
