Rockstar Games has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI will launch on November 18, 2025, ending years of speculation about the highly anticipated title.

The announcement came with a new gameplay trailer showcasing the game’s Vice City setting and dual protagonists Lucia and Jason. Pre-orders will open on June 1, with standard edition priced at $69.99.

Industry analysts predict GTA 6 could generate over $1 billion in revenue during its first week, potentially becoming the fastest-selling entertainment product in history. The game has been in development for nearly a decade.

The trailer reveals significant graphical improvements powered by Rockstar’s new RAGE engine, featuring ray-traced lighting, advanced physics, and seamless transitions between gameplay and cutscenes.

Online multiplayer mode GTA Online 2 is expected to launch alongside the single-player campaign. Gaming retailers are already preparing for unprecedented demand, with some offering midnight launch events.
