GRAND THEFT AUTO 6 News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

One of the worst things that happen consistently in the gaming world is certain rumors and reports that state one thing, yet the opposite is true. By that, we’re talking about the various “leaks” that try to “spill some tea” about game development or what’s coming up, only to be proven false eventually. That’s why we always say to take things with a grain of salt regarding reports involving rumors and speculation. Given its popularity since its official confirmation and first trailer, GTA 6 has been part of the rumor mill in many ways, and many have stepped up to try and separate fact from fiction.

GTA 6 publishers Take-Two Interactive have announced that they're "rationalizing" their "pipeline" and positioning/restructuring/streamlining for growth by, you guessed it, laying off a load of people and cancelling a bunch of games. As detailed in a Security Exchange Commission filing, Take-Two are doing away with five per cent of the approximately 11,000 people who work for them, and have cancelled several in-development projects worth tens of millions of dollars.

Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two has announced it will lay off five percent of its 11,000-strong workforce — equating to around 550 people — and cancel multiple in-development projects. The company said the move was the next stage in its ongoing restructuring plan, which began in February.

YouTuber Andrew Levitt has perfectly remade the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer in Miami. The official reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 rocked the gaming world when it debuted in December 2023, garnering millions of views in mere hours and skyrocketing Rockstar Games' YouTube channel subscriber count to 10 million. The 90-second trailer also became the most liked gaming tweet of all time on Twitter.

Following the recent price hike for EA Play, as well as price bumps for other video game subscription services over the last year, Rockstar's GTA+ is getting more expensive too.

There's a little game coming out next year you may have heard of. It's called GTA 6, and it's the next entry in Rockstar's prolific, rather chaotic and often debauched Grand Theft Auto series.

Prior to its announcement, reports revealed that Grand Theft Auto 6 would feature two protagonists in the form of Lucia and Jason, inspired by real-life robber couple Bonnie and Clyde, and though the game’s official announcement trailer was focused primarily on Lucia, we did also get some glimpses of her partner-in-crime.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is inarguably the biggest upcoming game that the entire industry is waiting with bated breath for, and though Rockstar Games announced in December that the open world crime game would launch sometime in 2025, that’s been called into question in recent days. Last week, a Kotaku report claimed that GTA 6’s production had fallen behind schedule and that it was, as such, in danger of potentially getting pushed back into 2026.

60 FPS. It’s the thing gamers want in their video games, but developers are not always able to deliver. Many gamers were sold on the idea that the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 could run games at 60 FPS. As things stand in the current console generation, most games are still on 30 FPS, and those games that do run at 60 FPS, compromise on resolution and some image enhancements to get there.

We’ve already been waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6 for well over a decade at this point, so a recent report by Kotaku that the game’s production was falling behind and that its release date could slip into 2026 were met with widespread disappointment. There seems to be conflicting information out there on that front though, because different sources are now claiming that a delay isn’t on the table for the game right now.

GTA 6 is facing development troubles, leaving leadership “nervous” that the hotly anticipated open world crime-athon could be “falling behind’ expected schedules. That’s according to Kotaku, who were told by an anonymous source that studio heads are “worried” that the game could miss 2025 completely and not see release until 2026. Kotaku were told that the studio is still “aiming” for a Spring 2025 release date, but sources feel Fall of the same year is more plausible. However, the title could be delayed until 2026 as a “fallback plan.”

Upon its official announcement in December, Grand Theft Auto 6 was handed a 2025 launch window, but if a report recently published by Kotaku is to be believed, the game is in danger of failing to hit its intended launch window, as has often been the case with Rockstar Games titles in the past.

A GTA fan is calling forGrand Theft Auto 6 to add a car feature that would allow players to put people in the back trunk of vehicles. The idea resonated with fellow players, starting a discussion surrounding the Grand Theft Auto 6 wishlist of features they hope to see in Rockstar Games' next installment.

Rockstar Games has historically had significant issues with crunch culture and excessive overtime over the years, and though, in the wake of Red Dead Redemption 2’s arduous development cycle, the company has taken measures to ensure that development of future projects (including the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6) can be done in much more healthy and sustainable fashion, following some recent workplace policy changes, it seems some employees are fearing that Rockstar could return to its former tendencies.

Developers at GTA 6 studio Rockstar Games have criticised the company for telling employees they must return to the office full-time next month, calling leadership's decision «reckless».

GTA 6 developer Rockstar Games are reportedly ending hybrid working and requiring employees to return to the office full-time, with a view to being in "the best position to deliver the next Grand Theft Auto at the level of quality and polish we know it requires, along with a publishing roadmap that matches the scale and ambition of the game." That's allegedly from an email to staff sent by head of publishing Jenn Kolbe.

Employees at Rockstar have been asked to return to the office five days a week, now that GTA 6 enters its final year of development.

After years of anticipation, Grand Theft Auto 6 is entering the last stages of development and Rockstar Games' leadership is preparing for the final push. It's been just over a decade since fans of GTA got a new entry in the series and two years since Rockstar confirmed Grand Theft Auto 6 was in development. Over that time, gamers have grown more excited and hungry for any news about how the sequel is shaping up.

Rockstar is set to move back to working in-office five days a week from April.

The trailer for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 has reached another impressive milestone after hitting 175 million views. Grand Theft Auto 6's reveal quickly became an iconic piece of media thanks to its impressive showcasing of features and its slick editing.

Following the company’s fiscal year 2024/2025 earnings report, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick provided some updates on Grand Theft Auto 6. Currently planned to launch next year, he clarified that it’s unlikely to arrive before April 2025. Considering the massive buzz for the title, with over 174 million views to date, how did Zelnick feel about the trailer leaking beforehand?

Upon its long-awaited announcement in December, Grand Theft Auto 6 was handed a 2025 launch window, and in its recent quarterly fiscal report, Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive reiterated that window, but when exactly in 2025 will the game be releasing? Judging by Take-Two’s revised bookings forecast for fiscal year 2024/25, the game might not release until at least April 2025.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially set to launch sometime in 2025, which means we’re still a ways off from getting our hands on it yet, but given the magnitude of the release and just how long the wait for it has been, there’s no shortage of anxious fans who’re wondering when exactly in 2025 the game will launch. And for now, Take-Two Interactive – the parent company of GTA developer Rockstar Games – has no concrete answer to that question.

It's time to play everybody's favourite game - no, not GTA 6, but the GTA 6 Release Date Quiz. Who's stepping up to the podium this time? Why, it's Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, who offered thoughts on the matter in a recent investor Q&A. Fingers on the buzzers, everybody!

Take-Two Interactive Software forecast fourth-quarter bookings below market expectations and cut its annual estimates on Thursday, on signs of weak demand for its gaming titles such as NBA 2K, sending its shares plunging 10 percent after the bell.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to release some time in 2025, with developer Rockstar Games announcing the much-awaited title via a trailer late last year. The GTA 6 trailer, which has 174 million views on YouTube at the time of writing, came out December 5, showing off shiny visuals, a dense and detailed Vice City, and a Tom Petty song that has since experienced a 37,000 percent increase in its Spotify streams. But hours before Rockstar was forced to actually put out the trailer, it leaked on the Internet. Now, the CEO of Rockstar owner Take-Two has said that the leak was “disappointing.”

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot believes the launch of GTA 6 will be «positive for the market» and expects it to launch after April 2025.

Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick has recently commented on the GTA 6 trailer leak, revealing that it was a disappointing event, but it did not hurt the development team. Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of the most eagerly awaited games in the world right now, and this is the first time the CEO has publicly revealed his thoughts about the leak.

Hyundai Motorsport posted a recreation of the iconic Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, complete with reenactments of fan-favorite scenes. For a racing and rallying car organization, there seems to be no better fit than the driving shenanigans and legendary cars of the Grand Theft Auto games, and its video feels like content ripped straight from the games themselves.

Rockstar has announced it's removing Grand Theft Auto Online's clips editor on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from 20th February this year, explaining it's making the move as it approaches the «limits of what's possible» on previous-generation consoles.

As Grand Theft Auto 6's official reveal trailer moves up the charts of the most viewed game trailers on YouTube, an unsuspecting mobile hit still claims the number one spot. Having dropped early last month, the long awaited first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 lit up the internet and finally gave fans of the franchise a glimpse at the breathtaking world of modern Vice City and its surrounding areas.

Faheem Rashad Najm, aka T-Pain, is working on GTA 6 with Rockstar.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was officially unveiled last month, but with the open world behemoth still at least a year away from launch (probably more), there’s still plenty yet that we don’t know about it. When Rockstar Games will choose to begin revealing further information on the game remains to be seen, but as always, some little tidbits keep finding ways of filtering through via unexpected sources.

Online roleplay in Grand Theft Auto 5 is a phenomenon all on its own. Going beyond text and roles, people execute entire jobs and services, from hitmen to repair shops, mayors and the cops, making the world of Vice City come alive in new, exciting, and hilarious ways. Even beyond this, group servers like the famous Nopixel community elevate it with lore, perpetual stories, and tight-knit shenanigans. 

The British teenager who hacked Rockstar and posted a swathe of work-in-progress GTA 6 development material online last year has been sentenced to remain indefinitely in a secure hospital.

Early in December, Rockstar Games ended years of restless anticipation when it finally officially unveiled Grand Theft Auto 6, and though the game is still a ways off from launch, excitement surrounding it is already at a fever pitch.

Former Rockstar developer Mike York has explained why GTA 6 isn't releasing on PC at launch.

Lawrence «Florida Joker» Sullivan is demanding $2 million from Rockstar Games for allegedly using his likeness in GTA 6 without consent.

If you were impressed by how good the first GTA 6 trailer looked, you were far from alone: even developers who previously worked at Rockstar were blown away by the level of detail shown.

Grand Theft Auto 6's first trailer has resulted in an M-class star's worth of reaction videos from YouTubers across the globe, but one that stands out from the army of gurning thumbnails is the response of Mike York. York is a professional animator who worked at Rockstar for 6 years, designing animations for both Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Now he runs his own YouTube channel, York Reacts, and naturally he had some things to say about GTA6's trailer.

Gaming audiences have been burned plenty of times by games that look stunning in their pre-launch trailers, but end up delivering noticeably (and, at times, severely) downgraded visuals when they actually release, which means there’s always an air of skepticism around graphically impressive trailers for upcoming games. Grand Theft Auto 6 received one such stunning trailer upon its announcement last week, and though there are some who have wondered whether the game will actually look this good, a former Rockstar developer is certain that it will.

Here’s a bit of an understatement- there’s a fair bit of excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6. The long-awaited open world behemoth was officially unveiled by Rockstar earlier this week (a day ahead of time, owing to unfortunate leaks), and within the first day, the reveal trailer had surpassed 96 million views on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel. And, unsurprisingly, that momentum has continued.

The recently-released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was officially released following a leak, prompting developer Rockstar Games to release the trailer earlier than it had planned. Soon after the dust had settled with the trailer’s release, however, several developers from the studio have voiced their disappointment about the trailer being leaked.

In the first day since its release, the reveal trailer for the hotly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 has proven to be quite popular. At the time of publishing the trailer has now been seen more than 96 million times. The trailer, released yesterday, is the first bit of Grand Theft Auto 6 that has been shown off to the world.

The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI is here, finally taking the covers off of Rockstar Games' ambitious open world title. After years of leaks, rumours and speculation, we now finally have concrete official details about GTA 6, its world, characters, and tone. The trailer itself was published hastily ahead of schedule after it was leaked on X on Tuesday. Instead of waiting and putting out the reveal Wednesday at 9am ET (7:30pm IST) — as Rockstar initially planned, the studio released the trailer early Wednesday morning. “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,” the publisher said in its post on X.

GTA 6 trailer has been officially released. The trailer was initially scheduled to go live on December 5 at 9am ET (7:30pm IST). However, it was released 15 hours ahead of schedule following a leak. Grand Theft Auto 5 was introduced in September 2013. Therefore, the anticipation surrounding the GTA 6 trailer, after 10 years of the game's last release, was already soaring. The leak and thereby the preponed release of the game's trailer has sent enthusiasts into a frenzy. The launch timeline and compatible platforms for GTA 6 were also officially announced.

Grand Theft Auto 6’s official reveal trailer was set to go live on December 5 at 9 AM ET, but after it got leaked, Rockstar Games promptly released it several hours ahead of time. And now that the game has been officially announced, Rockstar’s press release accompanying the trailer has revealed another key detail regarding its launch.

Rockstar was set to own the internet tomorrow as it debuted its first trailer for the long-awaited next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto series. The trailer is now live a day early, thanks to a leaker who posted the trailer on Twitter this afternoon.

After it seemingly leaked on Twitter, Rockstar Games’ first official trailer for the eagerly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 went live early. It confirms many rumors (and last year’s leaks) about the Vice City setting and two playable protagonists. Furthermore, it’s out in 2025, again as rumors suggested, though the trailer didn’t mention for which platforms.

A decade of anticipation will be culminating with Grand Theft Auto 6’s hotly anticipated official announcement trailer tomorrow, December 5, at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET, and some details on the trailer seem to have emerged ahead of time.

We’re just days away from the reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 now, but in that final stretch, a brief snippet of gameplay footage and alleged new details on the title have leaked. Shared on TikTok by, curiously enough, a friend of the son of Aaron Garbut – who is the head of development and co-studio head at Rockstar North – the leak briefly shows off-screen recorded footage of some of the game’s environments. The footage was removed not long after it was first leaked online, as was the TikTok account that leaked it, but you can view it below, courtesy of Twitter user @GTAVI_Countdown.

Rockstar Games has designated December 5th as the day it'll break the internet with the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto game.

Last month, Rockstar Games confirmed that it would finally be unveiling Grand Theft Auto 6 in early December, and now that we’re in early December, the company has revealed the exact date the long-awaited title’s announcement trailer will premier.

Rockstar Games will officially debut Grand Theft Auto 6’s announcement trailer in early December, and ahead of that long-awaited moment, it seems the company is making some significant changes to its online infrastructure. More specifically, it looks like the long-running Social Club platform is being put to rest.

Rockstar Games is preparing to reveal the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in early December (perhaps at The Game Awards on December 7th). Despite leaks and reports of scaling down, there’s plenty of hype for the open-world title, rumored to release in 2025. Publisher Take-Two Interactive isn’t setting expectations, though.

The torturously long wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 is entering is final stretch now. With Rockstar Games having officially confirmed that it will be debuting the first trailer for the title in early December, the end is finally in sight for those who have been waiting for the series’ next instalment for over a decade. But of course, a question that many are still asking is- when exactly will the game come out?

It was reported recently that the official announcement for the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 – which was first confirmed to be in development in early 2022 – would be coming soon, with its first trailer set to be revealed in December. That has now been officially confirmed by Rockstar Games itself.

After months of rumors and a massive leak, an announcement for the next Grand Theft Auto is reportedly coming this week. This is according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, who spoke to “people familiar” with Rockstar Games’ plans.

The torturous wait for an official announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6, and it’s anyone’s guess just how much longer it’ll drag on, and with Rockstar seemingly being in no mood to share details on the long-awaited open world title just yet, fans are continuing to look at alternative sources that might give an indication of what to expect from the game.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is easily one of the most highly anticipated games at this point in time, and almost any rumour related to the game is bound to cause sparks of hope within hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe. Recently,it was observed that age ratings for GTA 6 were listed on the Australian Classification Board, but a new investigation from PCGamesN has revealed that it was all fake.

Despite confirming its development, Rockstar Games still hasn’t officially showcased the next Grand Theft Auto (which suffered a massive leak last year). It was recently rated by the Australian Classification Board, which could mean an announcement is forthcoming. For now, French publication Rockstar Magazine has some new details on graphical improvements in the sequel.

A rating for Grand Theft Auto 6 has popped up on the Australian Classification website. The game, which has apparently been listed on the website since April 2, has been rated as an MA15+ title for release in Australia, with the rating stating that the game has strong sex scenes and strong drug use.

Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games' long-gestating, manically anticipated sequel to Grand Theft Auto 5, has reached an almost mythic status in gaming. A decade after the release of GTA 5, we don't yet have an official teaser or trailer for GTA 6, even as the hype for the game shoots beyond orbit. There have been several leaks and rumours, most notably the infamous hack last year that released in-development footage from the game. Now, a promotional post from Rockstar has fans speculating over a GTA 6 announcement.
