"GTA 6" may not be released until after 2025. According to [reliable industry insider Tom Henderson, the next installment in the hugely popular "Grand Theft Auto" game series will be set in modern-day Vice City, will feature multiple playable protagonists, and the game's world will change over time.YouTube video Henderson, who makes his "GTA 6" claims in "Battlefield 2042," has a good track record, having revealed various information about "Battlefield 2042" earlier this year.

The 2025 release date certainly stings. The time between the release of "GTA V" and "GTA 6" will be 12 years. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the game will not be released for some time yet, and this information is unfortunately consistent with previous rumors and logical speculation.

Nevertheless, since Henderson notes the release date information as a "prediction" in the video, it seems that not even insiders really know when we will actually be able to play GTA 6.

Henderson also claims that "GTA 6" will be set in modern-day Vice City (essentially a Miami version of "GTA"), and while there was some speculation that the game would be set in the 1980s, Henderson said that developer Rockstar is working on content for "GTA Online" that Henderson noted that developer Rockstar chose a modern setting to allow for more freedom in creating content for "GTA Online.

Perhaps the biggest revelation in this video is that the game reportedly has "evolving" maps. Henderson claims that the map will change over time as new locations are added and existing locations are modified through DLC and online events. Rockstar also dabbled in this technique with "Red Dead Redemption 2," and it will be taken to another level in "GTA 6."

Other information includes multiple playable protagonists like in "GTA V" (and one of them will be the first female in the series), and that the game will be available only on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. PS4 and Xbox One will be over 10 years old by 2025 This is not that surprising, since the PS4 and Xbox One will be over 10 years old by 2025 and will therefore receive little, if any, support.

All of the information contained in Tom Henderson's video certainly sounds plausible, and there are many exciting details. However, it is important to take every statement with a big grain of salt. Henderson has a solid track record when it comes to shooters like "Battlefield" and "Call of Duty," but he is inexperienced when it comes to leaks of "GTA 6," so his information could be wrong or outdated.

Assuming GTA 6 is indeed a next-gen console exclusive, you will want to get a PS5 or Xbox Series X to play (unless you have a very robust PC rig). Actually buying these consoles is easier said than done right now, so check the PS5 restocking info and the Xbox Series X restocking hub for the latest availability information. Perhaps by 2025, these machines will be a bit easier to buy.
