Following an unexpected leak, Rockstar Games has officially announced the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, confirming a nostalgic return to Vice City set for 2025. The revelation came less than 24 hours before the scheduled debut of GTA VI’s first trailer when an account—now suspended—prematurely posted the trailer on X (previously Twitter). Despite this, Rockstar swiftly responded by releasing the complete trailer on its official YouTube channel.
The trailer solidifies numerous details that have gradually surfaced over the past couple of years regarding GTA VI, confirming the return to Vice City and introducing the series’s inaugural female protagonist, set to navigate a narrative inspired by Bonnie and Clyde. Additionally, the trailer affirms the game’s slated release in 2025.
In a subsequent press release on Monday, Rockstar Games specified that GTA VI is scheduled for launch on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms in the aforementioned year.
This unexpected early reveal has sent the gaming community into a frenzy of excitement and anticipation, with fans eagerly awaiting more details about this highly anticipated addition to the acclaimed Grand Theft Auto series.
