Underwater exploration is also expected to play a larger role, supported by new tools and environmental systems designed to enhance immersion. For players who aim to complete every mission and side activity, total gameplay time could stretch into the hundreds of hours.
Console Launch First
Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC release has not been announced but is widely anticipated to follow later, consistent with the studio’s release pattern for previous titles. Older-generation consoles will not be supported due to technical limitations.
The game was previously expected to launch in 2025 before being delayed. While some fans expressed frustration, many industry observers viewed the postponement as a move to ensure technical polish and avoid the performance issues that have affected other high-profile releases in recent years.
Marketing Push Ahead
With months remaining before launch, Rockstar is expected to roll out additional trailers, gameplay deep dives and pre-order details. Final pricing, collector’s editions and online mode information will likely be revealed closer to release.
