Rockstar has confirmed that the GTA 6 release date is set for 2025. The news arrived as part of the reveal trailer, noting that Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to release TBC 2025 – no further clarification has been posted on when.

Prior to the reveal trailer, internet sleuths had been making some educated guesses. Multiple sources have corroborated a rumor that GTA 6 will release in 2025, which was part of a larger info drop that suggested that Grand Theft Auto 6 would be set in a modern-day Vice City.

Interestingly, Take-Two, the Rockstar owner, continues to imply GTA 6 is out by March 2025 while saying nothing about it. CEO Strauss Zelnick says “we remain confident that we are positioning our business for a significant inflection point in fiscal 2025, which we believe will include new record levels of operating performance.” That significant boost to revenue predictions is supposedly due to the GTA 6 launch.

Grand Theft Auto 6 stars Lucia, the franchise’s first female protagonist, and takes place in the Miami-inspired Vice City — which was the setting for 2002’s Grand Theft Auto entry. Lucia is the main character alongside an unnamed male lead.

There’s currently no mention of a PC launch, which might suggest it will follow a similar route to some of the previous GTA games that released on consoles first, before arriving on PC at a later date.We wouldn’t hold your breath for a quick PC release follow-up either, as according to a former developer, GTA 6 on PC will likely take a while, with PS5 taking priority as Rockstar focuses on “what sells”. That’s corroborated by another former developer, who said the GTA 6 PC launch probably won’t come for “a long time”.

During the official trailer, we were introduced to the protagonists of GTA 6, with a focus on the the first GTA 6 female lead, Lucia. While there’s still much we’ve yet to learn about her as a character, the trailer gives us some hints, with her wearing prison clothing, which tells us she’s clearly had some trouble with the law. Not only on that, but Lucia is shown on multiple occasions with an unnamed male character, who looks set to be play a main role in the next entry – while he’s been unofficially referred to as both Jason and James in the past, we’ve not had confirmation on his name. The pair appear to share a bond, or a kind of Bonnie and Clyde-like relationship, and speak of trust as they get stuck into some crime together.
