Even after last week's major (and unethical) leaks, more GTA 6 tidbits have arrived, this time in the form of a release window for one of Rockstar's most anticipated games. 

Adrian Perea, who has a rap sheet of correct predictions, including a November release for Ubisoft’s Pirate ‘em up Skull & Bones, has slated the game for a 2025 release date. 

And by 2025 both PS5 and Xbox Series X stock will almost certainly be more widely available and developers will have had ample time to figure out how to maximise the hardware, thereby making it ripe for a new GTA game. 

Overall details about GTA 6 have been scarce as to what players can expect. But numerous theories have been mooted for the game’s content, particularly as it's been some nine years since GTA V made its debut meaning there's been a lot of time for speculation as to what Rockstar's next Grand Theft Auto game could entail. 

Many (including Rockstar employees) believe the game’s story will feature a playable female protagonist. Similarly the game’s setting is unclear with some convinced a return to Vice City is inevitable, while others believe the game could even span multiple locations, including a Rio De Janiro inspired locale. 

With several years supposedly left to go before GTA 6 arrives, there's still time for the game's content and setting to evolve. But do bear in mind that leaks around the release date of GTA 6 are unconfirmed and should always be taken with a pinch of salt.
