Grand Theft Auto VI

GTA 6 Online?

Due to the huge success of Grand Theft Auto Online, it can be expected that in addition to the single-player campaign in GTA6, we will find an expanded multiplayer mode, which will be developed many years after the premiere of the game.

Story: return to Vice City

Grand Theft Auto VI takes us on a journey to the fictional state of Leonida, whose heart is the iconic Vice City - a metropolis modeled based on Miami. It is already known from the games Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In the previous two games we visited Vice City during the 1980s, but in GTA 6 we can see it in a contemporary setting.

It's worth noting that for the first time in the series the main role is played by a female character. We're talking about a protagonist named Lucia, who, despite being on a police "leash", does not shy away from crime. Apart from her, during the game we can also play as her boyfriend.

Official announcement and first trailer

We first heard about GTA 6 in March 2016, when a source from TechRadar reported that work on this title had already begun. Over the course of several months, and eventually years, not only unconfirmed information about this project (most of which turned out to be made up) made its way to the Internet, but also materials from a loud leak presenting an early version of the game. Players had to wait until December 2023 for the official announcement of GTA VI. The trailer released at that time broke popularity records, attracting nearly 91 million viewers within a day.

Tidbits from the trailer and fanbase speculations

Although the first trailer of the game might have seemed quite enigmatic, fans quickly proceeded to its thorough analysis, which allowed them to discover various tidbits. It was teeming with references to real events, as well as suggestions about what would be in the game. This includes the return of Weazel News (a fictional television station modeled on Fox News, known from Grand Theft Auto IV), the significant role of social media, and a monitoring device attached to Lucia's ankle.

Some also pointed out the similarity of the heroine to the actress Hailee Steinfeld, and also drew attention to the fact that the plot of GTA 6 could have been loosely based on the story of Bonnie and Clyde, which was supposed to be confirmed by the song used in the trailer by Tom Petty - Love is a long road.

Engine, graphics, music

Grand Theft Auto VI is based on the RAGE engine developed by Rockstar Games, which is designed to guarantee the highest quality graphics using advanced technologies, led by ray tracing. The game's soundtrack largely consists of licensed tracks, which can be heard on radio stations.
