GTA 6 Announced for Fall 2025, Exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S
  • GTA 6 promises to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor, featuring a vast map of over 48 square miles, nearly double the size of GTA 5's San Andreas.

  • The game will introduce players to Lucia, the first female protagonist in a mainline GTA title since 2000, alongside her male counterpart, Jason, whose narrative draws inspiration from the notorious Bonnie and Clyde.

  • The recently released trailer for GTA 6 showcases impressive NPC density, indicating significant technological advancements over previous titles.

  • Historically, GTA games have rarely appeared on Nintendo platforms, with notable exceptions being the remastered GTA Trilogy and GTA Chinatown Wars.

  • While the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S can run GTA 6, there are concerns about maintaining a smooth 60 frames per second, leading some developers to prioritize gameplay quality at 30 FPS.

  • PC gamers may need to wait until early 2026 for a potential release of GTA 6, as Rockstar typically prioritizes console launches.

  • Take-Two Interactive's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, has acknowledged the significant PC gaming market, suggesting that a PC version of GTA 6 is likely, though the timing remains uncertain.

  • Despite the wait, the PC version is expected to feature enhancements such as improved graphics and unlocked frame rates, making it a worthwhile experience for players.

  • Although the Switch 2 is considered a next-gen console, there are currently no confirmed plans for a port of GTA 6 to this platform.

  • The decision to focus on next-gen consoles stems from the desire to enhance graphics, lighting, and AI systems, which older consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One cannot adequately support.

  • Rockstar Games has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) will be released exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in the fall of 2025.

  • This move is further justified by the performance issues experienced with GTA 5 on older systems, which faced strained load times and feature removals.
