GTA 6 could cost much more than a regular game, another expert predicts, so you better start saving for Rockstar Games' next big open-world adventure now here's all we knowTech13:28, 07 Mar 2025GTA 6 is still coming this year (apparently)(Image: Rockstar)Grand Theft Auto 6 is pretty much nailed on to be this year's biggest entertainment release (if it does launch in 2025), but with Rockstar Games keeping quiet, there's still so much we don't know.Fans think they've found a developer that 'confirmed' that the game is still on track for this year, while even John Cena is poking fun at the studio's radio silence.With the weight of the gaming industry on its collective shoulders as studios try to avoid releasing games too close to it, and fans combing over a trailer that's almost 18 months old, we've put together everything we know about the game so far. Here's all we know about GTA 6 so far.Rockstar could headline one of the best years in gaming(Image: Rockstar)While GTA 5 had three playable protagonists, GTA 6 is expected to star Lucia, the series' first female protagonist in 25 years, and her partner who some believe to be named Jason.The game will be set in the state of Leonida, a Florida-like region that includes swampy regions and the all-important Vice City, similar to the Los Santos region and San Andreas in GTA 5.It marks Rockstar's first release since 2018's Red Dead Redemption 2 since the poorly-received GTA Trilogy remasters were developed by Grove Street Games and Video Games Deluxe.It's the first new GTA game since 2013's GTA 5, not including regular updates to GTA Online in the 12 years that have followed.GTA 6 may be the most anticipated game of all timeJust like you, we wish we knew, but we do know that, as things stand, the studio is aiming for 2025.Publisher Take-Two Interactive will launch Borderlands 4 in September, which has some fans expecting GTA 6 to drop in October or November. That would help the publisher space out its own releases.For now, though, Take-Two's earnings call has merely confirmed that GTA 6 is expected for this calendar year but there's every chance it ends up slipping.It's been a long time since GTA 6 got its first reveal via a stunning trailer which you can see above, and that's still the last time Rockstar has said anything about the game publicly.That was December 2023, with the company going an entire calendar year and change with no further updates, so what's next?One former Rockstar developer has suggested that Rockstar are likely 'geeking out' over fan anticipation, though.Mike York, who worked at Rockstar New England as an animator for six years, contributed to both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.Here's hoping we get a new trailer soon(Image: Rockstar)"All the developers over there are geeking out about it, trust me," he explains."When I was over there I would have little conversations with people and be like, Did you hear this person found this mystery? And theyd go, Oh yeah!"Speaking about the delay between trailers, York suggests this is very intentional on Rockstar's part, saying "The more they're silent the better it is". He also said that while the trailer could be released at any time, Rockstar is probably enjoying the marketing without necessarily doing anything to feed the fire."They could easily release the trailer date and be like, Hey this is when the trailer's coming out, but they don't do it. And they don't do it on purpose because it's a really, really good marketing tactic. If you think about it, it creates these really cool theories."All of this is to say, expect whatever Rockstar's next move to be to be a significant one.How much would you pay for a trip to Vice City?(Image: Rockstar)We've heard before how Take-Two and Rockstar pricing the game higher could help 'save' the games industry, and while some have said it's unlikely, another analyst has said it's not as crazy as it sounds.Earlier this week, one analyst suggested the game could cost $100 (around 80), with added incentive offered by GTA Online currency.We think the company has plans to sell the game at a previously unheard-of price point, and suspect that management can offer consumers an incentive to pay $100 or more per unit by rewarding them with a large amount of in-game currency to be spent in GTA Online, Michael Pachter's research note suggested.Imagine this on a high-end PC(Image: Rockstar)As things stand, GTA 6 is only confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S consoles. While that'll definitely disappoint PC players, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has hinted it could come to PC just like the studio's other titles have."With regard to others in our line-up, we don't always go across all platforms simultaneously. Historically, Rockstar has started with some platforms and then historically moved to other platforms," he told IGN.We have seen PC become a much more and more important part of what used to be a console business, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that trend continue, he added. Of course, there will be a new console generation.Article continues belowThankfully, PC gamers can at least enjoy the GTA 5 Enhanced Edition as a free upgrade to the last game.For more on GTA, be sure to check out the news that Rockstar has acquired a new studio, or the latest map 'leak' that dwarfs GTA 5's Los Santos.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
