Will GTA 6 be released on older generation consoles?
Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will not launch on Xbox One or PlayStation 4. The developer has ended support for the previous generation, focusing the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The trailer illustrated the hardware demands, showing dense textures and dynamic city scenes—from sunlit beaches crowded with pedestrians to busy highways—that these platforms must render at a high level of detail.
Rockstar Games, a publisher under Take-Two Interactive, announced that Grand Theft Auto VI will arrive for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. This aligns with the shift to more powerful hardware that can handle a sprawling, modern open world.
Will GTA 6 be released on PC?
As of this guide, there has been no official confirmation of a PC release for GTA 6. The prevailing expectation is that PC availability will follow the console launch, potentially after a period on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Take-Two Interactive stated a 2025 window for the console versions, with no specific note about older platforms.
The absence of an immediate PC announcement may reflect a common strategy seen in Rockstar titles, such as Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, which arrived on PC after their initial console debuts. It is likely that GTA 6 will reach PC some time after the console release, allowing a wide base of players to return to a fictional Vice City inspired Miami, USA.
As of today, the status of GTA 6 on PC remains unconfirmed. As new information emerges, this guide will be updated to reflect fresh developments.
Will GTA 6 offer Russian language support?
Current information centers on English as the base language, a common baseline for major game projects. However, there are indicators that Russian localization could be considered a priority for some regions.
One hint is an official Russian translation of the first trailer on the Rockstar channel, along with a game page translated into 13 languages, including Russian. This suggests a global localization effort that may extend to Russian, though it does not guarantee full voice work for the language.
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company, has historically released Russian localization for several titles even after changes in the regional development landscape. While it is possible that Russian voice acting might not be included due to localization and sanctions complexities, GTA 6 could still feature text localization in Russian even if full voice work is limited.
GTA 6 — prequel or sequel?
Early leaks point toward a return to Vice City, which could imply a prequel to certain episodes. The setting in the 1980s aligns with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Yet the official trailer places events in a present-day timeframe, suggesting that GTA 6 may not be a direct prequel to GTA V or other installments.
Despite uncertainty about the narrative connections, players should not expect a strict continuation of GTA V, GTA IV, or San Andreas. Classic GTA brands such as Ammu-Nation, Sprunk, and Redwood are likely to appear as recognizable touches within the new story.
What remains true is that the series tends to be self-contained in its main arcs. References to prior games are typically light, if present at all, so expectations should lean toward a standalone experience with nods to the franchise’s history.
Playable characters in GTA 6
For the first time in the franchise, GTA 6 introduces a female lead who teams with a male partner to navigate the Vice City criminal world. Leaks suggest their names will be Lucia and Jason.
Who is Lucia?
Lucia appears as a strong-willed former prisoner with Latin American roots. In the trailer she exudes confidence and fearlessness, even in perilous moments.
In the opening shot, Lucia wears an orange prison uniform and speaks with a parole officer, hinting at a complicated backstory. Her emergence marks a historic addition to the GTA lineup as the first female and first Latin American protagonist in the series. The character name has already ignited widespread discussion among fans online.
Who is Jason?
Jason is Lucia’s partner and presumed expert driver who safeguards her as she embarks on risky actions. It remains uncertain whether Jason will be a playable character, but leaks suggest players may control both leads. The origin of the duo’s partnership seems rooted in Vice City streets, though details are scarce.
Rockstar has not released deeper information about the main characters. With 2025 still some time away, more details about Lucia and Jason are expected as official materials unfold, and this guide will be updated accordingly.
Will Tommy, Trevor, CJ and other heroes appear in the game?
Based on the trailer, there is no clear indication that Tommy Vercetti will appear in GTA 6. While Easter eggs or brief references could surface, nothing confirms his return. The same goes for Trevor, Michael, or Franklin from GTA V. Rockstar often surprises players, but no explicit crossovers are confirmed at this stage.
Tommy Vercetti’s original voice actor, Ray Liotta, passed away in 2022, making a cameo difficult unless a tribute is used. If any nod exists, it would likely be subtle rather than a full appearance. Fans also hope for other familiar faces from the series, but nothing definitive has been announced.
Preliminary map of the GTA 6 game world
The latest trailer showcases a vibrant, Florida-inspired setting with neon-lit Vice City, bustling beaches, and quirky touches like alligators in unusual spots.
Prior to the official reveal, numerous leaks shaped expectations about the map, with fan-created concepts offering a close approximation. One widely praised design came from a DeviantArt user and inspired community discussions about how the city could look. After the official trailer, fans compared visuals to leaked layouts and noted striking similarities such as highway layouts and bridge locations that supported the credibility of the leaks.
Will there be cheats in GTA 6?
Cheats have not been officially confirmed for GTA 6. Based on prior titles, it is reasonable to expect cheat codes that affect standard gameplay elements, including vehicle spawns, weapon options, ammo, armor, and wanted levels.
There is speculation that the two protagonists may allow for distinct cheats, and some players hope for invulnerability to push the limits of pursuits with a high wanted level. Historically, GTA games supported in-game cheats either through a console command or a phone-based input, and fans expect Rockstar to continue this tradition in some form.
As the 2025 release window approaches, there is anticipation that Rockstar will offer new, creative cheats that enhance replayability and fun rather than simply altering balance. The community remains hopeful for surprises that align with classic GTA chaos and humor.
