2025? The hype, leaks and what we know

GTA 6 publication date: The confusing truth

The publication date of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) remains in the secret despite the recent claims and tractions. While the anticipation of the sky high, official information remains scarce, which the fans are frustrated and speculated.

The Corsair Croundrum

Last week Ronald van Veen, VP of Finance by Corsair Gaming, mentioned a publication of consoles in autumn 2025 and an early 2026 -PC start during a winning call. This triggered excitement, which indicates potential insider knowledge. However, Corsair quickly returned and made it clear that Van Veen's statement was mere speculation, and they had no official information from Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive.

What we know (so far)

While the Corsair comment proved to be unreliable, other indicators exist. Retailers in Malaysia have started to accept pre -orders, which indicates that a fixed release date is approaching. In addition, the interactive CEO of Take two, Strauss Zelnick, trusted in a publication of 2025 and indicates a shorter time frame between console and PC starts compared to previous rock star titles. Although a certain date is difficult to grasp, a publication of the late 2025 for consoles seems likely. The publication of the PC version remains uncertain, although a publication of 2026 is a strong possibility based on historical release patterns.

GTA 6: Beyond the publication date

In addition to the release date, the excitement focuses on the game itself. The recently published second trailer shows breathtaking visuals, a double protagonist storyline with male and female characters and a spacious map inspired by Miamis Vice City. Improved gameplay mechanics, improved fight and a robust online multiplayer mode are also expected.

Rumors and speculations

Rumors suggest that Rockstar could concentrate on the expansion of the online GTA 6 experience (GTA 6 online) and possibly include the tools for user-generated content (UGC) via a “Rome” with the code name “Rome”. An insider even speculated that a GTA 7 may not be in development, which implies a longer focus on GTA 6 and its online component. However, it is important to treat these rumors with caution.

Diploma

The GTA 6 publication date is officially unannounced, despite some hopeful leaks and insiders whispering, which may not have a truth or not. While publication of the late 2025 console is likely to appear, the PC start date and other details remain unclear. The hype remains immensely and in the course of 2025 we expect more official news from Rockstar Games.
