Description
Notable leaked footage from September 2022 and the leaks seem to confirm that GTA 6 will initially be exclusive to PC and next-gen consoles. A since-deleted Reddit leak also suggests that GTA 6 will only be exclusive to PS6, though that claim has less merit. But currently, the drop in performance of GTA 5 on last-gen consoles and recent updates to GTA Online make it sad that Grand Theft Auto 6 has a very good chance of opting for these next-gen devices. Rockstar is known for its deeper, more detailed work that redefines open-world gaming. With their latest title, Red Dead Redemption 2, they proved that Rockstar Games has gained credibility as the best RPG developer. So GTA 6 should also carry on this legacy. It goes without saying that the latest installment of GTA will feature improved graphics and richer game mechanics. The pre-alpha images from September 2022 indicate that the new game will definitely feature more enhanced assets, realistic visuals, improved and realistic game physics, and improved dynamic lighting. It's obvious that Rockstar is taking the time to optimize the next complex open-world game for next-gen hardware. This new title will push next-gen PCs and consoles to their upper limit.
A recently deleted reddit post claimed that GTA 6 will feature a massive map of Vice City, dwarfing its "San Andreas" status. So it's highly unlikely that next-gen consoles like PS4 or Xbox One will be able to handle this massive open-world title.
Rockstar Games will reportedly release GTA 6 in 2024, and fans can expect a trailer and gameplay reveal later this year. It's also possible that this latest installment could be pushed back to spring 2025. However, some experts are also suggesting that the game might not be available until the holidays of 2026. Notably, the PS5 failed to reach the same player base as their counterparts, so it makes sense that Rockstar would wait longer and go live with the PS6. They are waiting for a new console to appeal to a wider audience and persist for another 10 years.
