Fans have become increasingly impatient as it has been approximately eighteen months since Rockstar Games revealed their involvement in developing GTA VI.
The absence of any information updates has left them feeling frustrated. There have been no updates since the announcement of Grand Theft Auto VI’s development in February 2022, going Rockstar Games shrouded in silence.
Currently, enthusiasts have had to rely on leaked gameplay footage from an early version of the game alongside a constant stream of rumors and speculations.
Currently, the official details regarding the setting of GTA VI, including the specific time and location, are unknown. However, persistent rumors indicate a possible return to Vice City and a potential exploration of South America.
Furthermore, the game’s storyline remains a mystery, although speculations suggest the presence of two playable protagonists, Jason and Lucia. Regrettably, until Rockstar Games provides additional information, everything mentioned above should be regarded as gossip.
Fans eagerly await an update from the developer, and the lack of news has led to some concerns that the game may not be released in their lifetime. This sentiment was expressed by a Redditor named Skyrimlo, who questioned why Rockstar announced their work on GTA VI in 2022.

“Since its announcement in February 2022, there has been no official info on the game,” they continued. “Why do you think it even announced it so soon if it’s not going to update us on the game’s development or release any promo?” This Reddit user raises valid points, and many participants in the thread share the same sentiment.
“Damage control,” stated 0zer0zer0, seemingly hitting the nail on the head. “Because it was damage control for all the bad press they were getting and did it to bump up their stocks for the investor’s call,” responded Appropriate-Can-6795, referring to the problematic release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.
“Honestly I think they keep changing their minds on what to do – I think they were thinking about revealing the game not long after the leaks, hence them saying we’ll hear more about it in the coming months,” suggested FromWestLondon. “Pretty sure they mentioned it once more after that as well – but here we are almost a year later and nothing. My gut feeling tells me we won’t get an announcement this year – but who knows only time will tell.”
There is no way to predict when Rockstar Games will unveil Grand Theft Auto VI details. Hopefully, we might witness some gameplay or receive a confirmed release date this year. However, reports suggest that GTA VI may not arrive until 2024 to 2025, indicating a potentially long wait ahead.
Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
