It has been announced that GTA 6 is officially in development, Rockstar announced it through a lightning tweet about it, confirming that the game's development process is going smoothly and according to plan.

But soon after this announcement, which caused a stir in the gaming community, leaks of an early version of the game began to hit the internet. While these leaks contained many answers that worried the gaming community, they were also a source of concern for everyone, due to the fear that they would delay the discovery and release for longer than expected.

However, Rockstar and its parent company, Take Two, have announced that these leaks will have no impact on the development and release plan for GTA 6. Following this announcement, although there were many expectations from important sources that it could be revealed soon, Rockstar went dark again on the game.

However, we have nothing left to do but wait and deduce expectations from the huge leaks of information that the game was exposed to last September, which confirmed a lot of information that was rumored at an earlier time.

Common questions about GTA 6 occupy everyone now

• When will the game be released?
• On which platforms will it be available?
• Where will the game events take place?
• What will the gameplay be like?

These are the four basic questions that occupy the minds of many who are waiting for the game at this moment, and with the extreme silence to which the developer returned after he ignited our enthusiasm by announcing that it is already in development.

When will GTA 6 be released?

After Rockstar confirmed the existence of the game in development, unfortunately, it did not reveal the expected release date or even the timeframe for it. According to a report published by Bloomberg, which was a rush to obtain semi-accurate information about the game, and based on information it claimed to have obtained from current and former Rockstar employees, the game was two years away from release. date.

This brings us directly to the year 2024, which is the year agreed upon by some prominent analysts to track and monitor the video game market, including prominent journalist Jason Schreyer.

Also, let's go back a bit, specifically when Take Two acquired Zynga, a statement was issued explaining the company's future plan after this acquisition as it expects to achieve an estimated revenue growth of 14% per year over the next three years in fiscal year 2021-2024.

Specialized economic analyst Jeffreys Company He believes that such significant growth can only be achieved by Take Two releasing at least one major title by fiscal year 2024.

Of course, Take Two, according to the revealed advertising plan, does not have a major title, except for the GTA 6 game, which has already been confirmed in development.

He joins this party, the prominent leaker in the recent period Tom Henderson Who has said on several occasions that the next Rockstar game in the Gran Theft Auto series will not be released before 2024, and could be delayed until 2025, according to informed sources who did not wish to be identified.

Henderson was endorsed by the media Jason Schreyer Who said in a report published by Bloomberg that Rockstar could make major efforts to improve working conditions within its studios. He indicated that what Henderson said was consistent with what he had heard through his own sources.

So it seems that the year 2024 is the final result we have reached by tracking all the information and knowledge sources that have talked about the game. But when can the game be released if the year 2024 is the target, is it in the beginning, in the middle or at the end?

Rockstar is always working to release its games and major updates around the Western holiday season and anniversaries, and that means we could see GTA 6 launch during the last quarter of 2024.

Chris Klippel The creator of Rockstar Mag, who has shared accurate leaks about the company's games previously, said the game is going through a delicate phase of development, but does not expect it to be released before the end of 2024.

On which platforms will it be available?

The answer to this question may also lead us to answer the question of the expected release date. Rockstar, from what we have learned from developers who worked at the company, aims to offer the best in terms of story, as well as the design of the vast game world full of articulation.

Furthermore, Take Two confirmed during its earnings call for the previous fiscal year that the GTA 6 game will constitute a quantum leap not only in the history of the series itself, but will also have an impact on the level of video game development as a whole.

Of course, all this gives us certainty that the game will not be released on the last-generation platforms, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which have limited the capabilities and capabilities of current game developers, and will be designed primarily and exclusively for the new-generation platforms.

But Take Two is mainly nine to ensure the achievement of big sales during the launch phase, especially since the game's development budget is expected to be very large and could exceed the budget of GTA 5, which reached half a billion dollars.

Therefore, Rockstar may be hoping that next-gen platforms will spread more widely, especially with the launch crisis these platforms have faced over the past two years, especially Sony, which has already started to break free from that crisis at the moment.

Two years from now, we hope that next-gen platforms will have seen a big enough expansion to convince Rockstar to release their new game and see great sales and returns.

As with GTA 5, we expect the PC version to launch alongside the home device release, which is always a focus for Rockstar and may be delayed for some time due to the implementation of some anti-piracy protection systems.

When and where will the events of GTA 6 take place?

This question was difficult to answer last year until last September, when Rockstar's servers were hacked by unknown persons, where they managed to get their hands on a lot of confidential information that included more than 90 videos from the early version of the game that showed us a lot of information about the characters and the world of the game.

In the past, it was rumored that the GTA 6 game would revolve around the story of two heroes, two siblings, a man and a woman, who would grow up in a different environment after losing their parents.

media Jason Schreyer He previously said, before these leaks appeared, that the game's story would bring us two heroes, male and female, and would be influenced by the latest true story of professional thieves Bonnie and Clyde.

Through the recent leaks, we have been assured that the game will indeed present us with two heroes this time, a male and a female. But there were no indications about the relationship of these two heroes to each other and whether they were siblings or not. But with these leaks confirming the fact that they are male and female heroes, the rest of the leaks might be true about the story and their relationship to each other.

Furthermore, through these leaks, we confirm what was just a rumor in recent years, which is that the location of the game's events will be Vice City, which is the fictional version of the real American city of Miami.

And via the aforementioned Bloomberg report, a source close to the story has indicated that Vice City will appear in GTA 6, although Rockstar's original plans were apparently more ambitious. Of course, this information is now backed up by leaked images, one of which clearly shows the Vice City Metro train.

The Bloomberg report also stated that early in development, GTA 6 had vast territories such as North and South America. But it appears that this scope has been scaled down to focus primarily on Vice City and its surrounding areas, although the game world remains large and includes more indoor locations compared to previous installments in the Grand Theft Auto series.

But things won't stop there, as reports have indicated that Rockstar intends to gradually expand the game's world after its release. But in the beginning, you want to focus on a specific part of it to, on the one hand, reduce the pressure on the developers and, on the other hand, give them the opportunity to build a dense and detailed world.

Schrier said in a previous report that the game's world will be expanded, similar to Fortnite, where Rockstar will release updates that add new and changing areas to the game's world in the form of DLC content. This will keep the game fresh while helping keep players engaged in exploration in the long run.

What will the gameplay be like?

Since Rockstar hasn't released any official gameplay details yet, we have very little to go on at the moment. Based on the first leaked footage, it looks like the developers are experimenting with some new mechanics in GTA 6. There seems to be a focus on the heist and robbery system, with some new stealth mechanics thrown in for a different and interesting spin.

From the leaked screenshots, it looks like the overall gameplay is very similar to GTA 5, but with some added and updated aspects, such as the ability to lie down. Of course, this was all based on an early version of the game, so there's not much to indicate what the game will eventually look like.
