Undoubtedly, Grand Theft Auto, one of the most popular brands in the game world, has not been able to get a new game for about 10 years. If we consider the current popularity of GTA 5, which was released in 2013; We can guess why Rockstar Games did not act hastily.
After dozens of serious rumors emerged, the company, which made a statement on the official Rockstar Games Twitter account in the past months, confirmed that a new GTA game is being developed, and relieved many players; and even, with more than 600 thousand likes, it took its place as one of the most popular announcements in the gaming world. We have listed everything we know about GTA 6 and everything we can see with this game. So, let’s move on to our article.
All we know about GTA 6, which we can relax even if the promotional video comes:
When will GTA 6 be released?
Although Rockstar Games has not provided any information about when the game will be released, there are many ‘strong’ rumors circulating. Journalist Jason Schreier, one of the experienced names in the industry, recently shared a post on Twitter.
Schreier has suggested that GTA 6 may be introduced with a ‘autumn 2023’ release date later this year, and that this release date is likely to be fake. Claiming that he would not be surprised if the game was delayed to 2024, the journalist had previously stated that he expected GTA 6 to be released between 2024 and 2025.
If we consider that GTA 5, which was first released in 2013, managed to sell more than 160 million copies and still continues to be one of the most popular productions today; We can easily say that Rockstar Games is alone with one of its most challenging projects.
This production, which will be an important milestone for the company and the game world, will be tried to be developed as risk-free as possible. In addition, it is highly likely that we will encounter the promotional video of GTA 6 towards the end of this year.
GTA 6 will be on which platforms?
Rockstar Games is a company that likes to release its games only for consoles first. One of the biggest reasons for this is; games can be optimized for consoles much more easily than PC. This allows for a much smoother release process and provides the possibility for the company to save enough time for the PC version.
Considering that GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 were also initially released only for consoles for a while, then GTA 6 will also be released only for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 for the first stage. and we can guess that it will be added to the PC side later on.
What time is GTA 6 about?
Although there are many rumors about the time period and the city in which the game will be located, we can say that the strongest of them is the Vice City of the modern time. One of the main focuses of GTA 6, which is said to have a huge and constantly developing map, is that it will be the modern times of Vice City.
These rumors, which started to erupt in the past months, were also confirmed by people famous for their leaks in the gaming industry. Moreover; Rockstar Games, which re-released three classic GTA games under the name ‘Definitive Edition’ and received a great response from the players, added a house photo that was not in the original version of the game to GTA: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition and added “the first visual from GTA 6”. ‘ was interpreted as. This visual greatly strengthened the rumors that the game will take place in today’s modern Vice City.
How will the story of GTA 6 be?
Leaks suggesting today’s modern Vice City also mention that a female main character will be added to the series with GTA 6. While it is claimed that the multiple main character logic that we are used to from GTA 5 will continue; We will also meet a female main character who is interested in technology.
If we consider that the main characters of the GTA series are always men (except for the oldest times of the series); Playing with a female main character in GTA 6 can also be quite interesting. It is also worth mentioning again that it is claimed that the only main character will not be only a female character, and that there will be several main characters with a similar logic to GTA 5.
What will happen to GTA Online?
If we consider that GTA 5 was released in 2013 and still has more than 100,000 simultaneous players only on Steam; GTA Online is one of the biggest contributors to the game’s continued popularity. GTA Online, which contains many activities that can be done in the game, including role-playing servers, which is one of the most popular activities of the time, and continues to receive content updates, can become much more detailed with GTA 6.
It is stated that GTA 6 will first be released only with its story, and then it will have an online option. Compared to the current GTA Online, it is also among the rumors that there will be servers with much more player capacity and that you will have the option to transfer your character’s progress. So, what do you guys think about GTA 6? Do you think we will see it soon?
