Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) will be released in September 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC gamers may need to wait until 2026 to access the game, as the developers aim to optimize the experience for the PC platform.
Enhanced Gameplay Features in GTA 6
GTA 6 is set to introduce significant advancements in open-world realism. The game will feature dual protagonists, Jason and Lucia, inspired by the infamous duo Bonnie and Clyde. Notably, this marks the first inclusion of a female lead in the franchise’s history. Players will return to Vice City, located within the fictional state of Leonida, offering a vast and diverse environment filled with missions, side activities, and exploration opportunities.
Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) are expected to exhibit more natural behaviors, such as shopping, exercising, and socializing, enhancing the immersive experience. Additionally, the game may feature improved AI, realistic physics, upgraded graphics, and a revamped Wanted system with intelligent police behavior and new stealth-based escape mechanics.
Anticipated Pricing for GTA 6
Reports suggest that GTA 6 will have a higher price point compared to its predecessors. The standard edition is projected to cost around ₹5,999, while special editions may be priced up to ₹7,299. In international markets, prices could reach $100 (approximately ₹9,000). This increase reflects the game’s expansive scale and the enhanced features it aims to deliver.
Community Buzz and Upcoming Reveals
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the second trailer, anticipated to provide more insights into gameplay mechanics, map design, and new features. Rockstar Games has a history of building anticipation before major announcements, and recent activities, such as reducing their Instagram posts to 12, have historically preceded significant reveals.
