As one of the most popular and highest-grossing video game franchises of all time, the hype surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI is understandable. While developer Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped about the sequel, rumors continue swirling about what Grand Theft Auto VI could have in store whenever it releases.

Given the success of 2013’s Grand Theft Auto V, which earned $815 million in its first day and $1 billion in its first three days, expectations for Grand Theft Auto VI are sky-high amongst gaming enthusiasts. Grand Theft Auto V also set records as the fastest entertainment product to ever reach $1 billion and is estimated to have made over $6 billion to date.

With such impressive numbers behind it, Rockstar Games has its work cut out to meet fan demands for the sequel. Many speculate Grand Theft Auto VI could launch as early as late 2023, a full decade after GTAV. Concept footage and rumors point towards a game map spanning multiple cities, like Vice City and the fan-favorite Liberty City. However, Rockstar will likely recreate these cities rather than directly adapting old versions into current graphics.

Gameplay is rumored to feature multiple protagonists and storylines, continuing the mechanic from GTAV to jump between different characters. However, a playable female protagonist may make her series debut. Weapons, vehicles, missions, customization options, minigames, and various role-playing elements are expected to be plentiful and take full advantage of next generation console capabilities for graphics, physics, AI, immersion, online multiplayer modes, and more.

Of course, until Rockstar Games officially unveils marketing materials and previews, speculation remains guesses and fan wishes. But with development costs that could exceed half a billion dollars, and years of work required creating expansive open worlds, expect no expenses spared for Rockstar to deliver a cutting-edge, genre-pushing sandbox experience fans demand when Grand Theft Auto VI finally arrives. All eyes stay peeled for official details!
