While Rockstar Games has confirmed the existence of GTA 6, there’s plenty still shrouded by mystery about the upcoming game from the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Let’s dive in and check out everything about the under-development title.
After almost the better half of a decade being filled with rumors and speculations for the eighth iteration of a main Grand Theft Auto title, Rockstar finally confirmed in February 2022 that GTA 6 is in development. This confirmation from the devs was followed by a massive leak in September, arguably one of the most significant leaks in the video game industry.
The leak, which Take-Two and Rockstar later took down, revealed around 50 minutes of gameplay footage, which included vital information such as location, main characters, and much more.
Let’s dive in and check out everything about the game.

Does GTA 6 have a release date?
No, as of now, there is no confirmed release date for GTA 6. Although several leaks and insider reports claim that Take-Two and Rockstar are targeting a 2024 release, there has been no official confirmation from either of the organizations.
How long has the game been in development?
Despite Rockstar only confirming the existence of GTA 6 in 2022, a report by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, the game has been “in development in some form since 2014.”
This confirms that the game has been in development for almost nine years now, and it could well be over a decade in effect before the title finally sees the light of day.
Location: Where does GTA 6 take place?
According to leaks, the story of GTA 6 takes place in a modern Vice City. The fictional city of Vice City is based closely on Miami, Florida, and is set to bring fans of the franchise for a walk down memory lane.
Since the city has been featured several times in the GTA franchise, long-term fans will have much to reminisce about when the game is eventually released.
Who are the main characters?
After several leaks and reports, it is confirmed that GTA 6 will feature a pair of protagonists who Bonnie and Clyde heavily influence. While the leaked names of these two characters are Jason and Lucia, Rockstar and Take-Two could choose to rename the protagonist duo.
So there you have it; that’s all there is to know about the game’s upcoming release. For more news and leaks about the next title from the Grand Theft Auto franchise, follow our hub.
