Rockstar Games made headlines when they officially unveiled Grand Theft Auto 6 last December, dropping the much-anticipated first official trailer that quickly became the talk of the gaming world and went on to set records as the most-watched video game reveal on YouTube within a mere 24 hours. This latest installment in the iconic franchise is set in the modern-day metropolis of Leonida, a meticulously crafted fictional rendition of Florida. Players will navigate the sprawling urban landscape and immerse themselves in the narrative through the eyes of Lucia, as well as a character, tentatively known as Jason, whose full identity remains a subject of intense speculation among fans.

Following the initial reveal, the gaming community has been abuzz with inquiries about the exact release date of GTA 6, with enthusiasts eagerly dissecting every detail, from minor website updates to potential plot leaks. Amidst all the excitement, internal discussions within Rockstar Games regarding the company's return-to-office policy have stirred up rumors about possible delays that could push the game's launch into the year 2026. However, despite these speculations, both Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games seem resolute in their commitment to deliver the highly anticipated title according to its original release timeline.

As things stand, Grand Theft Auto 6 is confirmed for release on the next-generation gaming consoles, namely PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
