It’s been 6 months since we saw the first GTA 6 trailer, possibly the biggest game of the decade. However, despite 10 years of wait, the craze for the most anticipated game from Rockstar Games is only increasing every single day. As the release date is set for next year in 2025, the fans cannot hold their feelings and expectations from GTA VI. The loyal fans have waited a whole decade for the 6th edition of the famous Grand Theft Auto series, but are they ready to witness what this game will bring to the table? The answer would probably be no because no trailer, poster, or even leaks can prepare the fans for what the makers of this game have planned for them.
The development of GTA 6 began in 2014, and as time flew the fan’s frustration started taking a new turn. Earlier busy playing GTA 5, the fanatics didn’t realize that they had to wait for a whole decade to witness what lies above a masterpiece like GTA 5. But, as they drained every aspect of GTA 5, be it its original offline version or the GTA online where the possibilities were endless, they knew what they sought now. Be it any leaks or a GTA 6 trailer glimpse, fans would have lost their mind in even a poster. Although, the GTA 6 release date has not been announced yet, however, fans are speculating it would be around Septemeber, 2025. But do you know the reason behind this long wait of 10 years in the development of GTA 6? You must be thinking of the clear water in the swimming pool or the real-life expressions of a random dog roaming across the streets. But the answer is the vast GTA 6 map.
Inspired by the locations of North and South America, the map is the largest in the history of the GTA series. But this is just one of the many reasons backing the fandom of this game. The cost however remains the most shocking news of the hour. Multiple sources confirm that the cost of developing GTA 6 is around 2 Billion Dollars. Herein, this blog discusses the similar reasons and facts responsible for making GTA 6 a game like no other for the next decade or two.

Rumored PC Requirements
Although the game is set to launch on gaming consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series in its initial days, there is a huge part of the audience who cannot afford these consoles. Herein, we have listed the minimum requirements set for PC as the fun of the Grand Theft Auto series is at its peak on this device.
Download Size
The predicted download size of GTA VI compared to GTA V is estimated to be between 120 GB and 150 GB for the PC. This means that your PC should contain more than 150GB of free space to get the experience developers intended. The biggest reason behind this vast size of the game is said to be the GTA 6 map.
However, the map cannot be the only reason behind the 150GB size, and as the GTA 6 release date is not far enough fans will soon get a clear clarity on what the developers are preparing for the fans that they didn’t show in the GTA 6 trailer.
Supported Platforms
GTA 6 is set to release on gaming consoles like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Series S. However, similar to the GTA V release, the fans will have to wait a while to experience the phenomenon on PC.
Who are the Characters in the Trailer?
Lucia
One of the two main protagonists of the game is expected to be Lucia. Introduced in the trailer wearing an orange jumpsuit in prison, Lucia is also seen later robbing a store with her partner Jason, clarifying her presence there. Further, we see multiple scenes of Lucia wearing different outfits including a pink top with blue camouflage pants and a short black dress in various locations.
Jason
Lucia’s partner in crime and probable boyfriend who is being referred to as Jason is seen driving cars in multiple locations in the trailer. It seems from the trailer that Jason could be the second protagonist of the game, where he is also seen robbing a store with Lucia, making him the second known controllable player of the game till now.
Leonida Department of Correction Official
A woman talking to Lucia in the prison at the beginning of the trailer seems to be working for the Leonida Department of Correction. However, her name has still not been confirmed by any source and her role does not appear to be any further than having a conversation with Lucia at the prison.
Gold Chain Guy
With tattoos and gold chains all over his body, a guy has been shown in the trailer as well shaking hands with another man. Although, there are some speculations revolving around the fact that this person could be ‘Kai’, who is a high-ranking member of Leonida’s gang. On the other hand, he might be a playable character and an important part of the story.
Crazy Hammer Lady
Based on the character of a real-life person Karen who was seen with two hammers destroying her neighbor’s car, a lady with similar features is seen in the trailer as well. Although the appearance of the character has been changed completely from the real-life person, the two hammers surely indicate that she is about to do the same thing in GTA 6 as well.

GTA 6 Locations Inspired by Real-life
The Ocean Drive
The ocean drive we saw in the Grand Theft Auto Trailer VI trailer is also inspired by the real-life locations showcasing the neon lights and hotels. As a fun fact, the same location in the trailer is identical to the ocean-view hotels and clubs seen in front of Vice Beach in GTA Vice City. This left a sense of confusion and excitement in the minds of GTA fanatics as they thought the rumors of GTA VI also setting up in Vice City were true, where the trailer also showed a glimpse of the ‘Vice’ tower on a building. However, the final stand can only be taken with the arrival of the second trailer or the launch of the game.
Florida Keys
A game series like Grand Theft Auto cannot miss an opportunity to show Florida and its beautiful destination, like the famous Florida Keys. Highway above the sea and surrounded by beautiful greenery, a similar glimpse of the original destination was seen in the first trailer of the game. Although there are only speculations that this could be a reference taken from the Florida Keys, but looking at the surroundings gives the vibe of the string of tropical islands seen in Florida.
The Macarthur Causeway
A YouTuber seen in the trailer showcased yet another location which seems to be a direct inspiration from the famous bridge in Florida, known as Macarthur Causeway. The shot of the bridge includes a convertible car in which we can see a girl with her hands up in the air as it appears she is enjoying the ride. Moreover, in the first glimpse, the girl looks exactly like the main protagonist of GTA 6, Lucia. However, this is just a theory and should be taken with a grain of salt.
The Venetian Causeway
Another scene in the trailer that looks like a direct inspiration from a real-life location is none other than the West Venetian Causeway Bridge. The real-life bridge is located in Miami, America, and by taking inspiration from it Rockstar Games has brought this location in GTA 6 to enable Miami and nearby people to connect at a much higher scale with the game.

GTA 6 Release Date and Story
With the trailer launch on December 4, 2023, there are many speculations and theories from fans and gaming experts across the globe about the probable story of Grand Theft Auto 6. However, the only thing confirmed from the trailer is the existence of two main protagonists of the game Lucia and her partner who is referred to as Jason by certain sources. The story moreover is a guesswork at this moment where as per the fan theories, both the main protagonists are trying to attempt a big robbery, around which the sub-plots of the game will revolve. Also with the GTA 6 trailer, we learned that a major part of the story is set in Vice City where Lucia and her partner in crime could be visiting for important missions or meeting none other than Tommy Vercetti in his wise age to gain some wisdom from him. In addition, the fans also have high expectations from the Rockstar games to make both the protagonists controllable, adding more thrill to the game.
On the other hand, with no clue about GTA 6 trailer 2 and a release date, every GTA fanatic is hoping to get at least some rough idea of the possible release date. Although Rockstar Games have confirmed from the trailer that the game will be released in the fall of 2025, which means the release date could be in September, October, or November month. However, there is a high chance of the game releasing in September as the release date of GTA 5 was 17 September 2013.
NOTE: These are all speculations and possibilities based on the previous actions of Rockstar games and our mentioned date could vary from the actual GTA 6 release date.
