As the most anticipated game for the next generation, GTA 6 is leading the charge, know the 2022 release date, characters, gameplay and leaks
Even with only a confirmation of its development, leaks continue to emerge online almost every week. While many would be content with just a GTA 6 trailer, others are wondering, “When is GTA 6 coming out?”
GTA 5 was released in 2013 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, so fans have had to wait nearly a decade for the sequel.
Since a 2020 Kotaku report on crunch culture mentioned Rockstar’s plan for “a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series,” which all but confirmed GTA 6’s development, the internet has been buzzing with speculation.
GTA 6 Release Date 2022
Since then, leaks have been piling up at a rapid pace, with everything from rumoured gameplay details to potential radio stations appearing online. With GTA 6 now officially confirmed by the studio, here’s an in-depth look at everything we know about the next instalment in the franchise.
Our first official word from the developers arrived in the form of a surprise announcement on February 4, 2022. “We are pleased to confirm that active development for the next instalment of the GTA series is well underway,” Rockstar said.
However, how far along the project is in its development remains to be seen. There is still no firm release date or even an indication of when the first trailer will be released.
Furthermore, insider claims of alleged development issues could indicate that the project is still a long way from completion. If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that you shouldn’t hold your breath waiting for GTA 6.
A release date for GTA 6 has yet to be announced.
Despite a leak predicting a 2023 release date, we don’t have any concrete information about the latest Grand Theft Auto title. Newer leaks claiming a date are constantly appearing, but they should all be taken with a pinch of salt.
According to Michael Patcher, an industry analyst, fans may have to wait until after 2022 for a GTA 6 release date: “I believe it will be released after 2022… Remember that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released eight years after the first.”

GTA 6 Platform
With GTA 6’s release date uncertain, the game’s chances of appearing on last-gen PS4 and Xbox One consoles appear slim. With the graphical gap between consoles and PCs as thin as it’s ever been, it makes sense for Rockstar to focus on the sheer power that they all provide.
According to the most recent leaks, GTA 6 will only be available on next-generation hardware. In fact, it could be Rockstar Games’ only release in this console generation.
Crossplay In GTA 6
At the moment, none of Rockstar’s games allow for cross-play. However, it’s possible that GTA 6 will be the first time the feature appears in one of their games.
This could allow players with different hardware to play together. You may be able to interact freely in GTA 6 whether you’re on a console or a PC.
GTA 6 Features
Though no features of GTA 6 have been revealed, there are undoubtedly some big mechanics that many would like to see return from other Rockstar titles, or completely new features, such as:
- A massive arsenal of weapons
- Missions on the side
- Several locations
- A large map
- Female protagonists
- Several leads
- A contemporary setting
- Automobile personalization
GTA 6 Main Characters
The first concrete lead we have for a character in GTA 6 has come through Jorge Consejo’s resume, the actor lists GTA VI and Rockstar Games for a CGI role that he’s played with his character known only as ‘The Mexican.’
Leaks have claimed that the game would revolve around four characters and three of these names have been revealed as Walther Wallace, Thomas Branigan, and Marcus Burke, though the fourth remains a mystery. Aach member plays a different role in the drug trade, with Branigan having a smuggling plane that is named The Raven.
GTA 6 will have a female protagonist, which was confirmed by leaker Tom Henderson.
