Rockstar Games finally sets May 26, 2025, as official GTA 6 release date – Vice City is back, and it’s bigger than ever!
Rockstar Games has finally confirmed what fans have been waiting for — GTA 6 will officially launch worldwide on May 26, 2025. After months of leaks, speculation, and delays, the most anticipated game in history is ready to hit consoles and (eventually) PCs.
From new characters to an expansive Vice City map and hefty hardware needs, here’s everything you should know about GTA 6 in India.
GTA 6 Price in India (Expected)
While Rockstar hasn’t revealed exact regional pricing yet, leaked internal reports and global pricing models suggest:
- Standard Edition: ₹5,999
- Deluxe Edition: ₹7,299
- Collector’s Edition: ₹10,999+
This makes GTA 6 the most expensive Grand Theft Auto title ever launched in India — but given the upgraded open-world experience and scale, it might be worth every rupee.
GTA 6 System Requirements (Minimum – Rumoured)
Since GTA 6 is being described as Rockstar’s most technically demanding title yet, expect these minimum system requirements if you’re planning to play on PC:
- Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
- RAM: 8GB (16GB recommended)
- Storage: 150GB free space (SSD preferred)
- OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
GTA 6 may not run on mid-range gaming laptops. Console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will be the first to experience the game, with PC release expected later.
Maps: Vice City Returns + More!
The Vice City from GTA: Vice City (2002) is back — this time reimagined in a fully open-world, dynamic setting. But that’s not all. Multiple sources confirm the addition of other iconic areas, including:
- Liberty City (in parts)
- Swamplands, highways, beaches, and rural towns
- Day-night cycle, evolving weather systems, and real-time map changes
This promises hundreds of missions across various landscapes, offering a truly next-gen immersive experience.
New Playable Characters in GTA 6
Rockstar is shaking things up by introducing dual protagonists — with a possible third.
Meet the Main Characters:
- Jason: A street-smart operator involved in criminal networks and drug operations.
- Lucia: Recently released from prison, Lucia teams up with Jason for a better life.
- (Rumoured) Raul Batista: A tactical enforcer who might be revealed as the third playable character close to launch.
Other known characters from leaks and official teasers include:
- Cal Hampton
- Boobie Ike
- Dre’Quan Priest
These characters hint at a gritty narrative filled with crime, survival, and strategic heists.
Gameplay & Features (What We Know)
- Realistic player interactions: Actions like eating, buying items, or talking won’t be automatic — you’ll control everything manually.
- Improved physics and animation engine
- Advanced AI responses and crime reporting system (NPCs may call cops!)
- Multiple choice missions with branching outcomes
- Character customization is returning, and better than ever
Platforms Confirmed
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X | S
- PC (Coming later)
Older gen consoles like PS4 or Xbox One will not support GTA 6.
Is GTA 6 Worth the Hype?
From what’s revealed so far — yes. GTA 6 is shaping up to be more than just a sequel; it’s a complete overhaul of what open-world gaming can be. With deeper storylines, lifelike physics, and one of the biggest maps ever created, Rockstar aims to redefine AAA gaming once again.
With GTA 6 launching globally on May 26, 2025, Indian gamers finally have a confirmed date to mark. While the pricing may pinch some pockets, Rockstar seems determined to deliver a landmark gaming experience.
