It's now officially under a year until the release window of GTA 6 and hype for the game is as high as it ever has been.

Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two recently confirmed in an annual report that GTA 6 is currently on track to release in Autumn 2025.

The studio dropped the first, and so far only, trailer for GTA 6 in December 2023 and there has not been any update from Rockstar about it since.

GTA 6 has been at the centre of a number of huge leaks including the 90+ videos of early development footage that were posted in 2022 and the trailer getting leaked on social media shortly before it was due to drop.

Rockstar recently hinted it could be starting its marketing campaign for the game soon as it is on the lookout for a "Screenshot Capture Artist" to "capture footage of gameplay for use in marketing campaigns and in game".

And a number of story details have been 'confirmed' as legit.

Keep up-to-date with all the latest news, rumours, announcements and speculation as it happens with our live blog below.

Red Dead Redemption PC price reaction

Redditors have been reacting to the price of Red Dead Redemption for PC, which includes the Undead Nightmare expansion, costing £39.99 / €39.99 / $49.99 - and safe to say, it's not gone down well at all.

Boring_Isopod_3007 said: "Seems like a fair price for a 14-year-old game."

Exact3 said: "Oh f*** off! 50 bucks is way too much."

Frank_Likes_Pie said: "Kindly f*** off, Rockstar. Thanksies!"

cgaWolf said: "And just like that, I don't care anymore."

Dicklepies said: "Are the graphics updated or anything new? That's high for a 14-year-old game."

Price of Red Dead Redemption on PC revealed

Rockstar has announced Red Dead Redemption for PC, which includes the Undead Nightmare expansion, is available for pre-order.

The game will cost £39.99 / €39.99 / $49.99.

It launches in 18 days.

New game mode and map expansion for GTA Online

A new game mode has dropped for GTA Online which coincides with a playable returning part of the map.

Players can visit North Yankton for the first time in GTA Online, where the opening scene of the GTA 5 story takes place.

There's a new survival mode where players have to kill zombies.

If 80 million zombies are collectively defeated by the community, Rockstar said there will be gifts on offer.

More events have been announced on the Rockstar Newswire.

CJ modded into Silent Hill 2

The main character of GTA: San Andreas, CJ, has been modded into the remake of Silent Hill 2 on PC.

The only remote similarity between the two games, except for the violence, that springs to mind is that fog covers San Andreas in the 2004 Grand Theft Auto title and there is a lot of fog in Silent Hill 2.

@that1detectiv3 reposted an image of this that was shared on X / Twitter and said: "This exact same thing will happen with Red Dead Redemption when it launches on PC and I'm fully here for it. Looking forward to CJ, sports cars, and modern weapons being added to the Wild West on day one 😭"

'Sub island' discussion

There's a discussion in the GTA 6 Subreddit about what 'sub islands' fans want to see.

That's after deep_fried_cheese posted a screenshot of Florida being a "crazy place" as "they literally built a road out to this tiny island just so they could cover it in a car park".

Chev--Chelios said: "There will be a version of Star Island for sure, with some parody celebrities."

WhipperSnapper0101 said: "I've actually been there. It's in Tarpon Springs north of Tampa. Yes, it's an island that doubles as a beach. No, it's not really anything other than that but it does interest me as to what landmarks Rockstar will parody."

VVV1T0VVV said: "Imaging being an island and get used as a car park."

'Hope for the best'

Prominent GTA 6 and Rockstar Games poster on X / Twitter @GameRollGTA says "all we can do is hope for the best" when it comes to a potential announcement ahead of Take-Two's next earnings call.

Rockstar's parent company will hold its next call on November 6.

Just ahead of the earnings call for the same quarter last year, Rockstar announced on social media it would be releasing the first trailer for GTA 6 and there is "hope" for some sort of GTA 6 update ahead of the upcoming one.

It's currently the longest gap between Rockstar dropping a trailer for a game and giving fans an update in the studio's history.

'Details you missed in the trailer'

X / Twitter account @GTAVI_Countdown has shared 10 "details you missed in the GTA 6 trailer" along with screenshots highlighting this in a thread.

These are:

  • Monster truck doing a stunt jump at the mud club
  • There's a railroad barrier which confirms the metro system that was first seen in the leaked footage
  • Highly advanced clothes deformation physics
  • NPC filling his car at the gas station, which could be a hint that cars will require gas in the game
  • There are coils of extra lines on power poles, which showcases Rockstar's insane attention to detail
  • Accessible parking bay for NPCs with disabilities
  • Leonida man is watering his garden despite the fact that it's raining
  • Damage deformation seen on Jason and Lucia's car similar to GTA 4
  • Leaf particles are affected by the air flow created by the car passing
  • NPCs have their beach gear in balconies to dry them off

Earnings call date reaction

Social media users have been reacting to the latest Take-Two earnings call date in the GTA 6 Subreddit.

SplitOutside9081 said: "I hope to hear 'GTA 6 is on track for fall 2025 release date'. We could also get a Tweet from Rockstar Games like last year announcing a trailer date. It could happen anywhere on the week of and before November 6."

Picklepucks said: "I bet Take-Two wishes their staff got as pumped for earnings calls as fans of one of their games."

Leader-Artistic said: "I am gonna guess first weeks of December though, roughly one year after the first trailer."

Erusor said: "A lot of us speculated about 5th November as trailer 1 release date and no way we will fall in this trap again 😩"

WentzToWawa said: "As long as it's still on track for Autumn '25 I'm cool with waiting a bit more for another trailer or screenshots."

Take-Two reveals next earnings call date

Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two has revealed the date of its next earnings call.

The company hosts these quarterly to share updates about the organisation and its different studios to drive interest and investment.

Usually included as part of this is some sort of update about Rockstar and what it's working on.

The next Take-Two earnings call will take place on November 6 at 9.30pm GMT.

GTA 5 downloads down

PlayStation has shared its monthly game charts for September and GTA 5 is down in both Europe, and the US and Canada, across PS5, PS4 and PSVR2.

In August, GTA 5 was the second-most downloaded game in Europe and fourth in the US and Canada.

But in September, the title slipped to sixth in Europe and seventh in the US and Canada.

It's also moved down the charts in both territories where just PS4 sales are taken into account too.

Red Dead Online update

Rockstar Games is giving a lot of love to the Red Dead Redemption series at the moment - the studio has confirmed 'The Halloween Pass 2' has returned to Red Dead Online.

"Equip bone-chilling masks, blood-stained outfits, and sinister accessories," reads the update.

It's available through November 4 and players who previously bought it will be able to pick up where they left off with it.

A lot of X / Twitter comments are calling for an update on GTA 6.

Leaked GTA 6 story details 'confirmed' as legit

A popular GTA 6 account that regularly posts on X/Twitter has boasted that leaks it previously shared about story details and features of the upcoming game have been "confirmed".

@GTAVI_Countdown, which has more than 183,000 followers at the time of writing, shares news, rumours, speculation and leaks on GTA 6 and Rockstar Games.

In September, the account reposted details from YouTuber LegacyKillaHD about rumours of what to expect from the story mode in GTA 6 along with some gameplay features.

And @GTAVI_Countdown claims these leaks have "been pretty much confirmed as we just received a DMCA takedown from Rockstar's parent company Take-Two".

Rockstar announcement gives GTA fans 'doubt'

Rockstar Games has given Red Dead Redemption fans a huge update with the PC version of the game and its expansion, Undead Nightmare, coming to the platform on October 29.

It's something PC and RDR fans have wanted for a very long time, ever since the game first released back in 2010 so they can play it on PC for the first time or have an excuse to jump back into it.

But there are some GTA 6 fans who think Rockstar focusing on this means there will not be an update on the highly-anticipated title anytime soon.

RamonRamos__ posted in the GTA 6 Subreddit: "With Red Dead 1 being ported to PC this month, I doubt it that rockstar will release any info for GTA 6 this October."

There is hope there will be some sort of update during this month which is dubbed 'Rocktober', the name given by fans to the month of October as Rockstar has a history of making announcements and sharing updates during this month in years gone by.

This year has proven to be no exception with the news of Red Dead Redemption on PC but fans are split about what this means for GTA 6 in the comments on the Reddit post.

Sharp-Effective-2030 said: "Why did this idea come from that we would get a trailer this month, after all in the case of GTA 5 or RDR2, Rockstar added the second trailer a year or later after the first trailer."

Gaggarmach said: "We were never getting a trailer this month, not next month or the month after either."

DayDreamer1300 said: "All these years to get RDR and Undead on PC and they do it when one of their biggest games has been announced."

Hopeful_Ad7376 said: "They really waited 14 years to re-release it for 60 dollars???"

Not everyone can be pleased!
