GTA 6 Release Date: Everything We Know So Far (2025 Update)
The hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is real — and for good reason. As one of the most anticipated games of the decade, GTA 6 has fans around the world speculating about its release date, gameplay details, and platform availability. With Rockstar Games keeping things tight-lipped, gamers are turning to leaks, insider reports, and past release patterns to get a glimpse into when GTA 6 might actually drop.
In this in-depth article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the GTA 6 release date, including confirmed news, trusted leaks, expected platforms, and what this means for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players.
🔥 When Is GTA 6 Coming Out?
The most recent and reliable reports point to a 2025 release window. This has been supported by Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two Interactive, which projected a massive surge in revenue during the fiscal year 2025 — strongly hinting at the launch of a major title like GTA 6.
In December 2023, Rockstar released the first official GTA 6 trailer, confirming that the game will be set in a modern-day version of Vice City, and introduced us to new protagonists, Jason and Lucia. The trailer ended with a 2025 release window, which aligns with insider expectations.
🔍 GTA 6 Release Date Leaks
GTA 6 has seen countless leaks over the years, but a few stand out as more credible:
- Insider Tez2, a well-known Rockstar leaker, claimed the game would drop between late 2024 and early 2025, but now leans toward 2025.
- Another anonymous Reddit user has consistently posted accurate predictions, including the correct date for Trailer 1, and insists that March 25, 2025, will see the release of GTA 6 Trailer 2.
- Rockstar job listings and internal documentation also suggest a release in Q1 or Q2 of 2025.
While Rockstar hasn’t confirmed a specific day, GTA 6 release date predictions for Q2 2025 are becoming the industry standard.
🕹️ Platforms: Will GTA 6 Be on PS5, Xbox, and PC?
Rockstar confirmed that GTA 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, taking full advantage of next-gen hardware.
As for PC players — while there’s no official announcement yet, history tells us GTA 6 will likely arrive on PC after the console release, just like GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Confirmed platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S
- Expected later: PC (possibly 2026)
This also opens the door for a GTA 6 PS5 Pro bundle, which has been floating around the internet in concept form. Rockstar is expected to push the limits of the PS5 with ray tracing, massive open-world rendering, and near-instant load times.
🌴 GTA 6 Setting: Back to Vice City
One of the most exciting confirmations so far is the return to Vice City — Rockstar’s fictional version of Miami. From the trailer and leaked footage, we can expect a huge, vibrant open world filled with beaches, neon nightlife, swamps, and even dynamic wildlife.
The game’s setting plays a major role in Rockstar’s marketing strategy, with social media fans already comparing GTA 6’s Vice City map to real-world Miami and speculating about its size. A fan-made map stitching together trailer scenes even suggests it could be Rockstar’s biggest map ever.
💸 Why 2025 Makes Sense for Rockstar
Releasing GTA 6 in 2025 aligns with several key business factors:
- Take-Two’s financial projections peak in FY2025.
- PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will be at peak market penetration.
- The gaming industry is primed for a major title to boost hardware and software sales.
A PlayStation exec even said that “GTA 6 will boost the gaming industry as a whole”, reinforcing the idea that Rockstar’s next release is expected to move the needle globally.
📅 GTA 6 Release Date: Final Prediction
While Rockstar hasn’t given us a specific day yet, all signs — from the trailer, leaks, industry analysis, and financial data — point to a Spring or Summer 2025 release.
If we had to bet, we’d say:
🗓 May or June 2025
🎮 Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S
💻 PC: Likely 6–12 months after console launch
