GTA 6 is shaping up to be the biggest video game release of the decade. With an official release date set for May 26, 2025, Rockstar Games has finally confirmed what fans have been waiting years for. From leaked gameplay details and system requirements to returning maps and brand-new characters, here’s everything we know so far about Grand Theft Auto VI.
GTA 6 India Pricing: Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s Editions
Although Rockstar has not officially confirmed pricing, leaks suggest the Standard Edition of GTA 6 could launch in India at Rs. 5,999. The Deluxe Edition is tipped to cost around Rs. 7,299, while the Collector’s Edition may cross the Rs. 10,000 mark. These prices would make GTA 6 one of the most expensive mainstream console and PC game releases in the country to date.
Minimum PC Requirements: Is Your Rig Ready?
GTA 6 will be a graphically demanding game, and early leaks suggest the following minimum system requirements for running it smoothly on PC:
Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or Radeon RX 5700 XT
RAM: 8GB
Storage: Minimum 150GB of free space
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11
Mid-range laptops or older PCs will likely struggle to handle the game, particularly at higher resolutions or frame rates.
Gameplay Upgrades: More Realism, Less Automation
Based on trailer footage and insider reports, GTA 6 will introduce more real-world physics and manual mechanics. Actions such as shopping, carrying objects, and even drinking a beer will reportedly require player input, moving away from the automated animations seen in earlier titles. Rockstar appears to be building a world where interaction feels intentional, not passive.
Maps: Vice City Returns, Liberty City Teased
Vice City is confirmed to be the central map in GTA 6, but leaks also point to Liberty City and potentially other new areas. The map is expected to evolve over time with regular updates. Missions, gangs, and open-world chaos will remain at the heart of gameplay, with multiple urban and rural locations bringing variety.
Meet the Main Characters: Jason and Lucia
For the first time in GTA history, the story will revolve around a duo: Jason and Lucia. Jason is tied to the local drug trade, while Lucia has just come out of prison and is looking to make her mark. Their partnership is expected to form the emotional and strategic core of the game’s storyline.
In addition to the lead duo, Rockstar has revealed other major characters through the official GTA VI site, including Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Raul Batista, and more. Rumours suggest Raul Batista could be unveiled as a third lead character closer to the launch date.
GTA 6 is shaping up to be more than just another sequel. It isbeing positioned as Rockstar’s most ambitious open-world game yet. With deeper physics, enhanced realism, and a dynamic character-driven plot, GTA VI could redefine sandbox gameplay for the next decade. Unless Rockstar changes course, the game is on track for a global release in May 2025, and expectations couldn’t be higher.
