The hype train for Grand Theft Auto VI is moving at full speed and honestly, it’s hard not to get swept up in it. Every tiny update from Rockstar Games turns the internet into a digital carnival, and 2025
has been no different. Back in May, without so much as a warning, Rockstar casually dropped the second trailer for GTA 6. The internet, of course, exploded. Within hours, the trailer was everywhere, trending on X, dominating YouTube and flooding gaming forums. What got people talking was not just the return to that iconic Vice City vibe, but the insane level of realism: crisp lighting, fluid car chases, expressive faces and a world that already feels alive. If you’re wondering what’s coming, here's everything we know so far, from gameplay and characters to locations, price and launch plans.GTA 6 Platforms and GameplayGTA 6 is set to feature a massive open-world with dynamic day-night cycles and real-time events. Think of it as a city that doesn’t just exist when you’re playing, it breathes, changes and reacts. NPCs will also be smarter and less robotic, meaning random encounters and missions could feel different each time. Initially, the game will launch on PlayStation 5 (all models) and Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S. PC players might have to wait until 2027, which gives console gamers an early advantage.GTA 6 Main CharactersThis time around, GTA 6 introduces two lead characters, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Jason is a former soldier with a checkered past, while Lucia, recently released from prison, is determined to rewrite her story. The two form an unlikely yet powerful alliance, bringing both action and emotional weight to the narrative.And they’re not alone. Expect a colourful cast including Cal Hampton, a conspiracy nut living off the grid; Boobie Ike, a hustler turned businessman; Dre’Quan Priest, a rising music producer; Brian Heder, a veteran smuggler; Raul Bautista, a notorious bank robber; and Real Dimez, a rap duo who might just steal the show in their own way.ALSO READ: 5 Best Games You Must Play On PS5 If You Liked Ghost Of YoteiGTA 6 LocationsThe playground this time is Leonida, a fictional state loosely inspired by Florida.
