Though plot details are still tight-lipped, the official teaser, released in December, gave gamers their first look at the upcoming game’s sultry Vice City setting—a sun-drenched, crime-charged spoof of Miami.
The footage received a record-breaking 93 million views on YouTube in only 24 hours.
GTA VI will feature a female protagonist, which you can play alongside its male counterpart.
Players will be controlling Lucia, a fiery Latina, alongside Jason as they navigate through the dazzling excesses and evil underbelly of Vice City.
Gamers’ Speculative Frenzy
Illicitly obtained films and pictures from 2022 showed early development evidence that definitely pointed to Vice City’s neon comeback.
Reddit sleuths have been busy stitching together theoretical maps based on the leaks, with reports suggesting New York actor Gregory Connors could be the male lead Jason.
That’s unconfirmed, but Connors recently updated his resume to include a “lead role” in a 2025 Rockstar game.
A Sales Behemoth Continues
Without a question, GTA VI will be a huge commercial success. Since its 2013 release, GTA V, its predecessor, has sold an incredible 200 million copies, making it the second best-selling game of all time, only surpassed by the all-conquering Minecraft.
When GTA VI hits on the PlayStation 5and Xbox Series X in the autumn, it will undoubtedly be one of the biggest game releases of the decade thanks to the franchise’s enormous popularity and Rockstar’s skillful blending of ground-breaking gameplay with captivating storytelling.
