Grand Theft Auto

Grand Theft Auto, widely known as GTA, is one of the best-known video game series of all time. The first installment in the series was developed in 1997 by DMA Design. The studio changed its name in 2001 to Rockstar North because it became a part of the Rockstar Games label. Looking at the earliest GTA games shows how the series has evolved. It started with a top-down view and featured some rather unsophisticated mechanics. However, those early installments established some essential Grand Theft Auto features, such as playing the role of criminals and fictional cities based on real USA metropolises like Los Angeles (Los Santos), Liberty City (New York City), and San Francisco (San Andreas). The franchise got a significant boost in 2001 thanks to the release of Grand Theft Auto III. Since then, GTA has offered 3D graphics and immersive gameplay. The next two sequels have solidified the Rockstar hit franchise as one of the most popular video game series. Especially GTA V became a massive success, praised by both players and critics.

The new GTA

Grand Theft Auto VI is the highly anticipated sequel to GTA V. This installment in Rockstar Games' flagship series lets players return to the sun-drenched city of Vice City, a GTA version of Miami. Embark on an extraordinary journey through the breathtaking, Florida-inspired state of Leonida. Brace yourself for a captivating exploration of a vibrant universe featuring shorelines, treacherous alligator-laden marshes, and a dazzling metropolis.

Platforms and the premiere date

In December 2023, Rockstar revealed that Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch in 2025, but the precise release date hasn't been announced yet. The game will initially be available on the next-gen consoles: Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The developer hasn't so far confirmed the release of the PC port. However, the Windows versions of GTA 4 and GTA 5 premiered some time after their console counterparts. Hence, it's safe to assume that the PC port will come shortly after the Xbox and PlayStation editions.

Plot and gameplay

The recently unveiled trailer for GTA 6 on December 5 introduced Lucia and her partner in crime as the protagonists, although the specifics are yet to be revealed. Rockstar Games promises an unparalleled immersive storytelling experience, assuring players of a next-level open-world adventure. Consequently, players may expect adrenaline-pumping action and thrilling heists in the visually breathtaking, neon-soaked setting of Vice City and its surroundings.
