The wait for GTA 6 has been so long that it’s become a popular meme on the internet. It just shows how eager fans are for the next chapter in Rockstar’s hit franchise. While there’s still no exact release date, one thing is official – GTA 6 is launching in fall 2025. So, while we wait, here’s a quick roundup of everything we know so far.

GTA 6 – What Leaks and Rumours Say?

Although Rockstar Games hasn’t spilled much about GTA 6, leaks and rumours continue to surface and fans are eating it up. The biggest buzz is around the game having two main characters, possibly including the series’ first-ever female lead. The map is also expected to be huge, offering a massive open-world experience.

According to Times Now, Rockstar is reportedly working on revamping the Wanted system, which could mean some interesting gameplay changes. If true, it’s another sign the game will offer a fresh take while keeping that classic GTA chaos.

Early leaks and comments from the Take-Two Interactive CEO (Rockstar’s parent company) also suggest that GTA 6 will launch first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The PC version might arrive later, possibly in 2026.

This isn’t a first for Rockstar. Remember GTA 5? The PC version dropped 19 months after the console release. So yeah, history might be repeating itself here.

GTA 6 – Expected Launch

Although Rockstar hasn’t revealed an exact release date, fans are trying to connect the dots. One theory floating around is that GTA 6 could launch around September 23, 2025. That’s the same day Borderlands 4 is set to release, and many think Rockstar might choose a nearby date to grab some spotlight.

A more specific guess is September 17, which is a date that’s gained traction in online discussions. Still, these are just educated guesses for now.

Even without a solid release date, the excitement for GTA 6 is off the charts. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick summed it up best in a recent interview with Bloomberg when he said, “The anticipation for that title may be the greatest anticipation I’ve ever seen for an entertainment property.”

So, while we’re still counting down the days, the buzz around GTA 6 is only getting louder.
