For years, the biggest and most anticipated video game to release in the marketplace in 2025 was Grand Theft Auto VI. Unfortunately, we’re not going to get this game before 2025 wraps. Instead, it appears that the developers need more time to perfect their vision for players. Now, we have a little over a year to go. That’s leaving more leaks and speculation pieces to run rampant online.
There is no shortage of rumors and leaks about Grand Theft Auto VI, in particular. Fans worldwide can’t wait to dive into this next installment, so it’s providing a great opportunity for both legit insiders and trolls to start spewing posts online. However, some individuals have leaked credible content ahead of its grand reveal, sparking more interest in learning what else they might have to say. One of those individuals is GameRoll.
It was GameRoll that leaked out the last names of the two protagonists in the game. That leak proved to be correct, and today, we’re discovering that GameRoll has released new information online. According to their X post, this information comes from a source who is friends with a Rockstar Games developer. Therefore, this information may be inaccurate or misinterpreted.
For starters, some elements from Red Dead Redemption 2 are being brought back or built upon. That’s likely expected, but those elements are a relationship bar that will work similarly to the honor system. Furthermore, you’ll have limited weapons on hand, with the rest of the gear being stored in your vehicle trunk, similar to the horse mechanic. There’s more focus on gore and dismemberment being enhanced from Red Dead Redemption 2. Meanwhile, you’ll also have the generic greet and antagonize options in-game.
One element that was implemented in Red Dead Redemption 2, noted to be rather subpar in GTA 6, is Dead Eye. The RDR series featured the option to slow down time and mark targets to shoot. GameRoll notes that this option is featured in the game, but Jason has more targets to select than Lucia. This is to demonstrate how he’s a better shot, having spent time in the army. However, it appears not to be working out well, with developers hoping to make some changes to it.
Other notable aspects include weight mechanics and explorable underwater areas, as well as driving, which is apparently the best it has been for the entire series. That’s nice to know, as we’ll see 6-star wanted levels also return. Furthermore, it’s noted that the map is an island with several hundred shops to check out. As for the storyline itself, although we don’t have any spoilers, there are a total of five chapters, with the second trailer featuring moments scattered throughout the first three chapters.
Now, what you also might find of interest is some of the attributes of the game that were either cut or never existed. GameRoll states there are no fully nude sex scenes, options to listen to music outside of your vehicle, prone was outright cut, you can’t dual wield, and there’s also no burglary mini-game or a Disney World parody location.
Again, this information might be completely false. We’ll just have to wait and see if the next trailer confirms any of this information, or we’ll have to wait for the game itself. As it stands right now, Grand Theft Auto VI is set to launch on May 26, 2026. When it does, you’ll find it available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
