The biggest question in the gaming world right now is "When will GTA 6 be released?" and while developer Rockstar can only give us a vague release date of 2025, a leaker with a track record of disseminating accurate information may have just given us a big clue.

In a Reddit post dated December 4, 2023, a user named JarlOfRivia revealed details about the then-scheduled public trailer for GTA 6. These details proved to be accurate and gave the leaker some credibility regarding all things GTA 6.

In the same post, JarlOfRivia claimed that the game would launch in the first quarter of 2025, directly referring to January or February 2025 as a possible month of release. The scoop is actually several months old, but has resurfaced thanks to a social media post from an X account named @that1detectiv3

Another rumor found by the British newspaper Metro from a source named Nuro, has a specific date of February 18, 2025 (Tuesday and goes one step further. However, it should be emphasized once again that this is not a confirmed fact, but unverified information.

And even if these rumors were accurate, video game development is tricky and delays are common. Case in point: GTA 5 was originally scheduled for release in the spring of 2013, but was later delayed until October of the same year; GTA 6 may suffer the same fate.

Currently, the only confirmed details of GTA 6 are from its public trailer. This long-awaited first look at the game introduced a new protagonist, Lucia, and confirmed the presence of "Vice City," set in Miami, Florida, which is satirically depicted in the series.

Since then, Rockstar has been tight-lipped and no new details have been given, but let's hope the developer is ready to start talking off the record soon.
