It has been over seven years since the release of GTA V and there has still been no official announcement for GTA 6.

But, that doesn't mean information isn't out there.

Here is everything we know so far!

Latest News - GTA 6 Name Leaked

The GTA series has seen numerous variations when it comes to its naming structure.

From the regular Grand Theft Auto with a number, to the more spin-off variant like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

It has been suggested that the next entry in the series will combine both of them, with a clever play on words.

It has been rumoured that the next title in the series will called Grand Theft Auto VI(CE) CITY.

HINT: Did Rockstar hint at the next location for GTA 6

By looking at the map for the "Height Of Society" from GTA Online's recent racing DLC, it does show a potential hint of the next game being focused around Florida and Mexico.

This could hint at the next location for GTA 6 since Vice City is based on Miami.

Release Date

So far there has been no official release date given, in fact there hasn't been an official announcement of its existence.

But, with GTA V launching back in 2013 it is very safe to say that GTA 6 is in development

Job Listing Hints At GTA 6

A job listing was posted on Monster looking for an environment artist to "Join our team to create next-generation worlds".

It is fair to assume this is referring to upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X games.

In the listing it states one of the responsibilities as "creating and texturing environment assets for the biggest and best open-world environment in the industry".

When players think of the best open-world games, Grand Theft Auto is always top of that list, as well as Red Dead Redemption.

But with Red Dead Redemption 2 launching in 2018, it is very likely referring to a new GTA game.

A 2023 Release?

According to Venture Beat, Take-Two Interactive (the parent company of Rockstar) are looking to spend a massive $89 million in marketing during 2023/2024.

This would indicate that the company will be looking to promote a massive game, such as Grand Theft Auto.

With a decade passing since the release of GTA V, that sounds entirely plausible.

Platforms

With a potential 2023 release window, we will be right in the middle of the next generation lifecycle, meaning that is is extremely unlikely we will see the game release on either the PS4 or Xbox One.

Instead it will release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

GTA V didn't release on PC for two years after the console release, but with the popularity of the PC version of GTA V it is likely we will see a launch of GTA 6 on PC from day 1, or at least fairly close to it.

GTA V Next Gen

The PlayStation 2 saw 3 GTA games released on it, GTA V will have been released on 3 PlayStations by the end of 2021.

GTA V is scheduled to be ported to both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2021, offering upgraded visuals, frame rate, and resolution over the last gen counterparts.

Could this be Rockstar's way of getting used to developing for next generation hardware before officially announcing GTA 6 on the systems?

After all, they wouldn't want a Cyberpunk 2077 on their hands and face backlash if the game released broken.

Map

One aspect of the game that players are eager to find out is where the game will be set.

The game has always centred around Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas.

With those being the three locations in the original GTA game, and also the locations of the three GTA games released on PS2.

Since then we have seen Liberty City return in GTA 4, and San Andreas return in GTA V.

So that just leaves Vice City.

It has long been speculated that GTA 6 will see players head to Vice City, which is based on Miami.

Missions

It has been rumoured that the game will feature a 100 hour story mode, filled to the brim with dozens of missions.

With the size of next gen games, it is very likely we will see an install of around 200GB, so we could definitely see a very large campaign.

100 hours may be a bit much, but definitely 50-70 hours.

Online

GTA Online is a huge part of Rockstar's portfolio, generating over $700 million per year in revenue.

This could also be part of the reason why they haven't rushed to release GTA 6, because they are generating huge amounts of money with the online side of the game.

The mode recently saw its first map change since the game launched, a sign that more changes could happen in the future.

With the release of GTA 6 it is unlikely the online side will stay in Los Santos, instead transferring over to the new map.

Rockstar could also be using the online part to test features, such as the single player heists in the Cayo Perico expansion.
