GTA 6: One Step Closer to Vice City
If you've been waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), the most anticipated game of all time, get ready! Rockstar Games has officially listed GTA 6 on the PlayStation Store, igniting global excitement just days after the release of the second trailer. While pre-orders aren't open yet, adding GTA 6 to your wishlist ensures you'll receive updates on pre-order availability, edition reveals, and promotional offers.
The GTA 6 Hype Train
The PlayStation Store listing, following the second trailer's 45 million YouTube views in 12 hours, sent GTA 6 trending. Analysts predict it will become the best-selling video game ever. The game is set to launch on May 26, 2026 (a delay from the initial autumn 2025 release), on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. Crucially, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch owners will miss out unless they upgrade their hardware.
- Wishlist now: Add it to your PlayStation Store wishlist to stay informed.
- Beware of scams: Avoid any retailers offering pre-orders now; they are likely scams.
- PC release: A PC version is expected roughly a year after the console launch, likely in early 2027.
The second trailer offered a deeper look into the story, featuring protagonists Jason and Lucia, a Bonnie-and-Clyde-esque duo navigating a criminal conspiracy in Leonida (a fictional Florida). The first trailer, released in December 2023, broke records with over 100 million views in 24 hours, introducing Lucia as the franchise's first female lead and confirming the return to Vice City.
Gameplay and Expectations
Rockstar hasn't officially confirmed a PC version, but Take-Two Interactive's CEO hinted at it, suggesting a similar release strategy to previous GTA titles. The game's incredible visual fidelity, showcased in the trailer, has left fans dissecting every frame to distinguish gameplay from cutscenes. Rockstar confirmed the trailer was 50% gameplay footage captured on a standard PS5, showcasing impressive graphical capabilities.
- Protagonists: Jason and Lucia are the main characters, with supporting characters like Boobie, Ike, Brian Heder, and Cal Hampton.
- Setting: Leonida, a fictionalized Florida, serves as the game's setting, returning to Vice City for the first time since 2006.
- Pricing: Expect prices around Rs 5,999 (India) for the base version, potentially reaching Rs 9,000 or more for special editions.
The delay to May 26, 2026, hasn’t dampened excitement. The trailer's stunning visuals, along with speculation about minigames (pool, fishing, tennis, etc.), and even upgraded hair physics, have only fueled the anticipation.
GTA 6 Online: What to Expect (and Not Expect)
While Rockstar hasn't officially announced GTA 6 Online, leaked information suggests it's in development. However, several features may be absent:
- Smaller lobbies: Possibly similar to GTA 5 Online's 30-player limit.
- No cross-platform play: Rockstar's history suggests this is unlikely.
- Microtransactions and paywalls: These are likely to return, given Rockstar's business model.
- No griefer-free lobbies: Expect the usual online chaos.
- No progress migration: Starting fresh is a strong possibility.
- No mod support: Rockstar typically doesn't allow modding in online modes.
Conclusion
GTA 6's journey from wishlist to release is underway. The combination of a delayed release, a record-breaking trailer, and the potential for groundbreaking visuals has created a level of excitement rarely seen in gaming history. The wait may be long, but the promise of a revolutionary gaming experience is certainly enough to keep fans engaged until May 26, 2026.
