‘GTA VI’: Todo lo que sabemos hasta ahora del nuevo videojuego de Rockstar
After more than a decade since GTA V, Rockstar has officially confirmed Grand Theft Auto VI. As expected, the announcement has sparked global excitement, with leaks, insider opinions and trailer analysis flooding the internet.
Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of everything we know — and some things we strongly suspect — about GTA VI.
Release date: May 26, 2026
Initially slated for 2025, Rockstar recently announced that GTA VI will launch on May 26, 2026, as revealed via an official post on X. The game is in its final stretch of development, with the team returning to in-office work to wrap up production.
The game will launch first on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. As usual, the PC version is expected to arrive later, though no date has been given yet.
Trailers: Two major reveals so far
The first trailer was scheduled for December 5, 2023, but leaked a day early. It confirmed the return to Vice City and introduced a female lead character, a first for the franchise.
The second trailer dropped on May 6, 2025, without any prior notice. It offered more narrative details and showcased stunning visuals and cinematic storytelling, though gameplay footage remains unreleased.
Platforms and potential pricing
GTA VI will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC release is almost certain but will likely follow later, in line with Rockstar’s usual release pattern. Take-Two’s CEO noted that the lack of announcements should not be seen as a definitive decision.
Rumors suggest a possible $100/€100 price tag, which has sparked debate, although Rockstar has not confirmed anything regarding pricing.
Setting: Vice City and the State of Leonida
The game will be set in a modern Vice City, part of a larger region called Leonida, inspired by Florida. The open world will include urban, rural, swamp, and coastal areas, creating a varied and rich environment.
Though earlier rumors suggested a map spanning all of the Americas or different time periods, these have largely been debunked. The game is codenamed Project Americas, hinting at future expansions.
Protagonists: A dynamic duo narrative
GTA VI will feature two protagonists, including the first-ever female lead in the series, reportedly of Latin descent. The story appears to revolve around their criminal partnership, inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.
Their chemistry and emotional depth are highlighted in the trailers, suggesting a more character-driven narrative than previous GTA entries.
A leaner release, followed by post-launch expansions
Rockstar has confirmed that GTA VI will have a more contained release compared to GTA V. This approach is intended to reduce development stress and enable long-term content updates, expanding the game’s world and story progressively.
Massive expectations, massive potential
According to Financial Times, GTA VI could generate over $1 billion in pre-orders alone, and more than $3.2 billion in its first year, doubling GTA V’s performance in 2013.
The game’s cultural impact is expected to be enormous. GTA has always been a satirical mirror of society, and former writer Dan Houser once expressed concern about launching a GTA title during Trump’s presidency due to the political climate.
A cultural and gaming event in the making
With its bold setting, compelling protagonists, and technical excellence, GTA VI is shaping up to be more than just a game — it's a global event. The countdown to May 2026 ha begun.
