Grand Theft Auto – GTA 6

• Oct 4, 2025

Those who love computer games are no strangers to Grand Theft Auto.

With the first instalment in this game franchise being released in November 1997, this action-packed video game developed by DMA Design and published by BMJ Interactive was one of the first interactive driving games loosely based on the layout of New York City. Its release in 1997 was also suitable for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation, and even Gameboy Color. Now that’s going back!

Over the years, the game has won various awards, including the VGX Award for Best Soundtrack in 2013, the British Academy Games Award for Best Multiplayer Game in 2014 and the BAFTA Games Award for British Game in 2014. In total, Grand Theft Auto 5 has 163 Game of the Year Awards to its name, making it the ninth-highest-winning game of all time.

With the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 now over ten years ago, fans of the game are eager for the next game’s release date to be announced.

When Will Grand Theft Auto 6 Be Released?

Following the roaring success of GTA 5, it was announced on May 17, 2024, that GTA 6 would likely be released in fall 2025.

This sent many fans into a frenzy, but some have speculated that the release could be sooner. However, the game does not have a history of early releases, with GTA 5 originally meant to be released in spring 2013 but being delayed until October 2013.

What to Expect from GTA 6

GTA 5 was extremely popular, with many fans and game critics stating that the graphics were well ahead of their time.

It is likely that the graphics on GTA 6 will also be advanced, but due to advances in graphics since 2013, the new game graphics are unlikely to be a huge technical leap forward. However, fans can look forward to the game probably returning to Vice City, with the female protagonist, Lucia, having a fresh, new experience.

However, die-hard fans of the game will have been aware of the leak of game footage. On September 18, 2022, a user by the name of ‘teapotuberhacker’ released 90 videos to GTA forums, which detailed around 50 minutes of work-in-progress game footage. It was later confirmed that the footage was genuine, but it was from different phases of the game’s development.

Who Has Been Involved in the Design of GTA 6?

The game franchise has given rise to some of the most talented game designers in the industry under the umbrella scope of Rockstar Games. It would be an entire book of names, but it has been stated that as many as 4000 developers are working on the game, with the majority of those being involved in the design of GTA 5. So, fans can expect the same high level of in-game entertainment and graphics!
