Official Confirmation: Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Set for 2025
Fans of Rockstar Games’ (GTA 6 trailer) Grand Theft Auto VI series, who have been waiting anxiously for official details regarding the upcoming installment in the series, may breathe a sigh of relief.
On Monday night, the developer finally confirmed the long-rumored release date of 2025 in a 90-second clip. Vice City, a depraved take on Miami that the series visited in 2002, was back, as shown by the sun-kissed beaches and shiny condos.
For the first time in the series, the game seems to include a female protagonist in a number of sequences involving a lady called Lucia. These scenes include her peering into a prison yard while wearing an orange “inmate” blouse and her later storming into a shop while armed and wearing a bandanna mask.
The game will “push the limits of what’s possible in a highly immersive, story-driven open-world experience,” according to Rockstar president Sam Houser. Requests for an interview on the series were turned down by Rockstar.
Controversy and Early Leaks: GTA VI Trailer Unveiled Amidst Chaos

Since its 2013 debut, Grand Theft Auto V has sold over 190 million copies across several platform generations and PCs.
The game has been around longer than its predecessors because of its online version, which offers regular updates, multiplayer adventures, and micro-transactions that let players buy in-game items for real money. Nearly $500 million was reportedly made by Grand Theft Auto Online in the most recent fiscal year, according to analysts.
