GTA 6: Details

Rockstar Games, the subsidiary video game studio of Take-Two, released the trailer for the upcoming GTA 6 game in December, last year. The company has not revealed any more details about the highly anticipated game since, but it has confirmed that the video game will be released initially on gaming consoles such as PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X, and Series S. There is still no confirmation about the availability of GTA 6 on PCs.

The next instalment in the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise will be set in Vice City- a fictionalised version of Miami, similar to that used in the 2002 video game GTA: Vice City. The video game will likely revolve around the story of Lucia, the first female protagonist in the franchise. However, there are multiple reports stating that the videogame will feature multiple playable characters apart from the female lead.
