Rockstar Games remains tight-lipped about Grand Theft Auto 6, but leaks and reports suggest major updates regarding the release date, pricing, system requirements, and gameplay features. The next installment in the GTA franchise is expected to introduce significant enhancements in open-world mechanics, character development, and AI-driven interactions.
Industry insiders speculate that GTA 6 will debut on September 17, 2025, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, PC users might experience a delayed launch, with the game anticipated to arrive on the platform in 2026. Rockstar has historically optimized PC versions separately, often leading to a staggered release schedule.
Pricing leaks indicate that GTA 6 will command a premium compared to previous titles. The standard edition is expected to retail at approximately Rs 5,999 in India, while special editions may be priced at Rs 7,299. In global markets, the cost could reach $100, translating to around Rs 9,000.
Though Rockstar has yet to confirm official system specifications, leaked reports suggest that players will require at least an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X processor. Minimum GPU recommendations include the GTX 1080Ti or Radeon RX 5700XT, paired with 8GB RAM. Additionally, at least 150GB of storage on a Windows 10 (DirectX 12) PC is expected to be necessary.
GTA 6 is set to introduce a dual-character storyline featuring Lucia, marking the franchise’s first female protagonist, alongside a male lead. AI improvements will enhance police chases, introducing smarter law enforcement tactics and advanced stealth mechanics. The game is also expected to feature enhanced physics, more immersive environments, and refined gameplay mechanics.
Vice City, modeled after Florida, is making a return in GTA 6 with significant modern enhancements. Players will have access to a broader map that includes city landscapes, beaches, swamps, and small-town settings, offering a diverse range of locations to explore.
The second GTA 6 trailer is rumored to be released before April 2025. With only a few days left in March, speculation continues to grow regarding Rockstar’s next major announcement.
