Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto franchise has an enduring fan base. From the very first installment to the ever-evolving GTA 5, fans can’t get enough of this popular open-world game series. Last year, Rockstar Games officially announced that work has begun on the next installment in the franchise, known as GTA 6.
Although the studio may not release GTA 6 in 2023, it is likely to provide more updates on the game’s development. In fact, the company might even release a teaser or trailer featuring in-game footage to showcase the advancements it has achieved in this latest project.
Like previous GTA versions, GTA 6 is expected to initially launch exclusively on consoles, with a PC port arriving a few years later. This approach will help Rockstar maximize revenue and reduce piracy.
In terms of visual effects and graphics, GTA 6 is anticipated to feature realistic shadows and reflections powered by ray tracing, delivering the best gaming experience on consoles like the Sony PS5 and Xbox Series X.
With respect to file size, GTA 6 could easily become one of the largest video games, with an estimated file size of around 100 GB. The game is designed to deliver an optimal gaming experience in 4K resolution, making the visuals even more impressive on a console paired with a high-resolution gaming monitor or TV.
Rockstar Games may announce the official launch date of GTA 6 by 2023, with an expected market release by mid-2024. Considering the pricing trends of recent high-budget console games, GTA 6 might cost over 6,000 rupees in India, and Rockstar could even offer a special limited edition with additional playable characters.
