The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA VI) has been steadily building over the past few years with fans eagerly awaiting any hint of a release date. Recently a new rumor has surfaced online potentially revealing the launch date for this highly anticipated title. Although Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped on the subject the possibility of a leaked date has set the gaming community ablaze with speculation.
Could October 27, 2025, Be the Release Date?
The source of the latest rumor comes from a Reddit post by user gebbos11 who shared a screenshot of GTA VI’s IMDb listing. According to the image the game is slated to be released on October 27, 2025. However the listing has since been removed from IMDb raising questions about the authenticity of the leak. Was this a genuine insider slip or simply a mistake that was quickly corrected?
While the October 2025 release date is still unconfirmed it fits within the broader launch window previously hinted at by Take-Two Interactive Rockstar’s parent company. The publisher has alluded to a fall 2025 release for GTA VI which aligns with the rumored October launch.
This timing wouldn’t be entirely surprising as Rockstar Games has a history of launching major titles in October. Previous releases such as GTA III GTA: Vice City GTA: San Andreas GTA V and even GTA Online were all launched in October giving some credence to the rumor. However until Rockstar provides official confirmation this date remains speculative at best.
is this real ? 27 Oct 2025

What We Know About GTA 6 So Far
Though Rockstar has been characteristically secretive about GTA VI, there have been a few key details released about the game that have only heightened the excitement surrounding it. Based on the teaser trailers and snippets of information that have been circulating here’s what we know about the upcoming installment in the Grand Theft Auto series.
Return to Vice City
One of the most exciting revelations about GTA VI is the return to Vice City, the vibrant sun-soaked metropolis inspired by Miami. Vice City was last seen in GTA: Vice City (2002) and quickly became a fan favorite for its colorful aesthetics, diverse culture, and criminal underworld.
In the trailers fans have caught glimpses of various scenes around Vice City. From alligator-wrangling police officers to dirt bike gangs racing through urban streets it’s clear that GTA VI will embrace the same chaotic open-world gameplay that the series is known for. Players can expect a sprawling detailed city filled with over-the-top action crime and absurdity.
Introducing Lucia: The First Female Protagonist
For the first time in the franchise’s history GTA VI will feature a female protagonist named Lucia. This has been a significant moment for the franchise marking a new direction in terms of character representation. While details about Lucia’s background and storyline remain scarce she appears to be deeply involved in the game’s criminal world, often seen committing felonies alongside a male character dubbed “Jason” by the community.
Lucia and Jason’s dynamic has been compared to that of Bonnie and Clyde which suggests that players might experience a story steeped in romanticized crime and partnership. How this relationship evolves throughout the game remains to be seen but Rockstar is known for crafting compelling character-driven narratives and GTA VI is expected to be no different.
Expansive Open World and Enhanced Realism
Rockstar is renowned for creating highly immersive detailed open worlds and GTA VI looks to take that legacy even further. Reports suggest that Vice City will be larger and more dynamic than any previous entry in the franchise. Players can expect intricate environmental details day-night cycles weather patterns and a living city that reacts to the player’s actions in new and exciting ways.
In addition to the enhanced open world Rockstar has promised improved realism in the game’s mechanics. This includes advanced AI behavior realistic driving physics and expanded interaction possibilities with the world and NPCs. Whether you’re orchestrating a high-speed chase through the city or getting into intense firefights the level of detail in GTA VI will likely push the boundaries of what’s possible in video games.
Is GTA 6 Coming to PC?
One of the biggest questions on the minds of players is whether GTA VI will make its way to PC. As of now Rockstar has only confirmed that the game will be exclusive to current-generation consoles meaning PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
However based on Rockstar’s history with previous GTA titles it’s highly likely that a PC version will be released eventually—though it may not come out at the same time as the console versions. For example GTA V was initially launched on consoles in 2013 but it wasn’t until over a year later, in 2015, that it was made available for PC players. If Rockstar follows a similar pattern with GTA VI we could expect a PC version to arrive sometime after the initial release.
What About Multiplayer?
Another significant aspect of GTA VI speculation surrounds its multiplayer component. Given the monumental success of GTA Online, which continues to be a major revenue driver for Rockstar it’s inevitable that GTA VI will feature some form of online multiplayer. However the exact nature of this feature is still unknown.
Some fans are wondering whether GTA Online will be integrated into GTA VI or if Rockstar plans to create a brand-new multiplayer experience altogether. The latter could allow Rockstar to build a multiplayer mode from the ground up, leveraging the power of current-gen consoles to create a more seamless expansive online world. However, Rockstar will need to tread carefully to avoid splitting its player base as millions of gamers still actively engage with GTA Online.
A Monumental Launch in the Making
Despite the uncertainty surrounding GTA VI’s release date one thing is for certain: it is poised to be one of the biggest video game launches in history. Rockstar has a proven track record of delivering blockbuster titles and the anticipation for GTA VI has reached fever pitch. The teaser trailer alone amassed hundreds of millions of views within days of its release illustrating the sheer excitement and curiosity surrounding the game.
Whenever the game is finally released it is bound to make a lasting impact on the gaming world. Fans are eagerly awaiting more information and as the rumored October 2025 release date approaches speculation will only continue to grow. Whether GTA VI will surpass the enormous success of GTA Online remains to be seen but all signs point to Rockstar once again delivering an unforgettable experience.
