Grand Theft Auto VI is one of the most anticipated video games of all times. So after Nintendo announced the Switch 2 with tech upgrades, many gamers had assumed that the next gen GTA title might also debut on the gaming handheld. But Take-Two’s CEO might have some bad news.

GTA 6 may skip the Nintendo Switch 2

For those unaware, Take-Two Interactive is the parent company of Rockstar Games studio, which is working on the GTA 6. In Take-Two’s recent financial report, CEO Strauss Zelnick talked about the future of the company’s games on Nintendo’s platform. While he expressed a positive outlook for future titles, GTA 6 might not be arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Zelnick stated that “In terms of what we would bring to any platform, we address it on a case-by-case basis, we obviously want to be where the consumers are. But we would not necessarily bring every title to every platform. There are also great catalog opportunities as well.” So a Nintendo Switch 2 port doesn’t seem to be actively developed at the moment. To recall, GTA 6 is set to debut on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 26th May 2025.

There is no word on the PC launch, but it will follow a delayed release similar to GTA V. Looking at the recent trailer, the new GTA title is clearly a next gen title with gorgeous high fidelity visuals. While the Switch 2 is getting upgrades in the hardware department, the Switch 2 might still not be powerful enough to run the upcoming game. Rockstar might be able to optimize it sometime in the future. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at the moment, so takes this news with a pinch of salt for now.

After years of speculation and anticipation, Rockstar Games had finally released a trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI. While there was no official launch date, many anticipated more details to emerge this month. But to many gamers’ disappointment, Rockstar announced the postponed launch of GTA 6. However, there is a silver lining here.

GTA 6 Won’t Land Until 2026, But the Countdown Can Finally Begin

The studio took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on 26th May 2026. While many fans had hoped to get their hands on the game sooner, this marks the first time we’ve received a concrete release date from the studio. In the official statement, Rockstar seems aware of the fan disappointment stating “We are very sorry that this is later than you expected.”

The developer also expressed gratitude for the overwhelming interest and support from the community, calling it “truly humbling”. “With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations,” the message reads. And in true Rockstar fashion, the studio is prioritizing quality over speed, promising a game that meets the high bar fans have come to expect.

Rockstar emphasized that the delay is necessary to ensure GTA 6 lives up to the towering expectations placed on it. This delay might sting, but the silver lining is clear. We finally have a confirmed launch date, meaning there is no room for speculation and the game will be dropping in around a year. So it’s a six month delay over a recent report, which hinted at a November 2025 release.

The post GTA 6 Delayed to 2026, But there’s a bright side appeared first on Gizmochina.

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6 (Or GTA 6) is easily one of the most hyped video games of all time. Just like Cyberpunk 2077, it already has a core fan base dedicated to finding every piece of information regarding the next gen GTA title. So now, here’s a quick roundup of every major detail that has been leaked or revealed so far.

The setting for GTA 6

One of the biggest reveal regarding GTA 6 was its setting in the fictional state of Leonida. An imaginary state isn’t uncommon in games but the most anticipated aspect was the return of an iconic town, which is Vice City. The coastal region isn’t the only highlight of the setting as the game will include a bunch of other new locations and is said to be the biggest and most immersive game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

The narrative will reportedly include both North and South America, bringing in different geographies. Rockstar might make the world dynamic and update the game with new locations or more cities later down the road as well. Another notable aspect of the entire setting is that it isn’t a modern GTA title like GTA 5. Rather, we are going back to the 1980s with this one.

What’s the plot?

Based on the first trailer of GTA 6, there appear to be two playable characters that are also a couple like Bonnie and Clyde. Lucia is the first character, who was also spotted in some of the earliest leaks. The two are a criminal duo that are pursuing greater scores. There might be a section of the game that involves one of the playable characters getting incarcerated but details are still sketchy. Very little is actually known about the story, but it could involve these Lucia and her partner growing from street level thugs to some kind of mafia bosses.

Gameplay

Rockstar is likely bringing back the third person perspective and many of the mechanics from its previous entry. However, we can expect to see refinements in certain aspects like shooting, switching to first person, and much more. The Grand Theft Auto series from inception has also revolved around stealing cars, planes, and different vehicles and driving them, so there might be more depth added to that aspect as well.

GTA 6 Launch Date

GTA 6 is set to make its official debut on the Xbox Series X, Series S, and PlayStation 5 series in the fall of 2025. While an official launch date is still unclear, the H2 2025 release has been announced. Unfortunately, the launch date for the PC port has yet to be revealed and it won’t be arriving on the platform at launch.

The post GTA 6 Roundup: Setting, Story, Launch & More appeared first on Gizmochina.

There is no doubt about Rockstar’s next Grand Theft Auto game being the most hyped video game launch of all time. From various leaks, rumors, memes, and much more, GTA 6 already has a massive following even before its launch. So here’s everything we know about this upcoming blockbuster game.

The Setting: Welcome Back to Vice City

One of the most exciting aspects of GTA 6 is its return to Vice City, Rockstar’s fictional version of Miami. This region now falls within the fictional state of Leonida. The game will parody contemporary culture and also feature numerous references to internet memes and influencer culture as well. So players can expect a modern setting with Rockstar’s satirical filter on American society.

Characters: A First for the GTA Series

For the first time in the mainline GTA series, GTA 6 will feature a playable female protagonist. Named Lucia, she is rumored to be one half of a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style criminal duo. While Lucia’s partner hasn’t been officially revealed, leaks suggest players will switch between both characters, similar to GTA 5’s character-switching mechanic.

Gameplay and Graphics

GTA 5 already offered an immersive experience with an expansive series of features and activities. So the next gen GTA 6 could take this a step further. We can also expect refinement to the third person shooter formula and upgrades to AI and NPC characters.

With GTA 6 shaping up to be Rockstar’s most ambitious game yet, one aspect that people are looking forward to is the improvement in graphical fidelity. The last Grand Theft Auto game was released over a decade ago, which means the upcoming title will bring next-gen graphics and employ new technology like Ray Tracing.

Release Date and Platforms

Based on recent performance insights, GTA 6 will be available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X targeting 30fps. Meanwhile, optimizations for PC will arrive later on. Whie an official price tag for the game is still unknown, leaks have hinted at the game potentially carrying a $100 price tag.

A leaked release date from Spanish retailer XUruguay listed GTA 6 as launching on 17th September 2025. If this is true, then the game will be arriving exactly 12 years after GTA 5’s announcement. However, newer rumors have questioned the validity of these claims so take this with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more.

The post GTA 6: Everything We Know So Far About the Most Anticipated Game of the Decade appeared first on Gizmochina.

If I were to say that GTA 6 has been at the top of the most anticipated release date list, it’s likely that nobody would disagree. Gamers from all over the world have been eagerly awaiting the continuation of the series for nearly a decade. However, that wait may have come to an end. According to rumors, the developer, Rockstar Games, is set to announce GTA 6 this week, followed shortly by the release of an official trailer. Here are the details…

When Will GTA 6 Be Released? Announcement This Week, Trailer in December

Rockstar has yet to answer the question of when GTA 6 will be released. However, the company confirmed a few years ago that the game was in the development stage. Now, there are claims that the game will be announced this week. Next month marks the 25th anniversary of the Grand Theft Auto series, and it’s rumored that the company will release the trailer on that occasion.

However, there is also The Game Awards, known as the Oscars of the gaming world, taking place on December 7th. It’s speculated that Rockstar might showcase the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer there as well. What’s most intriguing is what they will reveal this week. It’s likely that the announcement will include developers giving speeches explaining what they have created and why. Additionally, we can expect to see glimpses of the characters we’ll be playing and improvements in the open-world environment.

It’s worth noting that Red Dead Redemption, developed by Rockstar in 2018, is still at the top of the gaming world. The game remains superior to most of its 2023 competitors in terms of its open world and visual quality. The main reason for this is the attention to detail that Rockstar pays. Furthermore, the company dedicates years to the game development process, whereas many competitors release big games in just 1-2 years.

Another important factor is the release date of GTA 6. Whether it will be announced this week or alongside the trailer next week remains uncertain. However, considering that we’ve waited for 10 years, waiting a few more weeks in the worst-case scenario probably won’t be a problem for anyone.

The post The Countdown is Over: GTA 6 Announcement Date is Revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

GTA (Grand Theft Auto) is one of the most popular games of all time. Even though the fifth game in the series was released in 2013, it still breaks sales records. However, players have been waiting for long-time producer Rockstar Games to release the highly anticipated GTA 6. Luckily, we might have just gotten a small indication of the release date of GTA 6 from Microsoft.

According to Microsoft GTA 6 release date is 2024

Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard has caught the radar of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), the UK’s regulatory body. The CMA opened an investigation and began examining the billion-dollar deal. Microsoft’s response to the investigation was quick, and the company defended itself in a document. Surprisingly, some information in the document gave us a clue about the release date of GTA 6.

Microsoft essentially argues that Call of Duty alone does not constitute enough of the market share to hurt competition, thus pointing to franchises like Grand Theft Auto. The most striking point is on Page 24 of the document: “The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is expected to be released in 2024”.

Considering the level of cooperation between Microsoft and Rockstar, we can say this information is likely correct. However, the company is under CMA investigation, and a billion-dollar deal could be in jeopardy. Therefore, it is impossible to say anything definite about the accuracy of the information.

Reports have suggested that the game could be prepped for launch by 2025, although a 2024 release date doesn’t seem unlikely. There is also a good chance that Rockstar could announce a 2024 release date initially and delay it to the next year. A game the scale of Grand Theft Auto VI needs all the polish and time in development it can get.
