Regarding GTA VI, Take-Two says, “We are very confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience and our expectations for the title’s commercial impact continue to rise.” The game is slated to release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The PC version is yet to be mentioned.
Grand Theft Auto VI takes players to modern-day Vice City (a parody of the franchise’s Miami, FL) and two protagonists, a female inmate named Lucia and her as-yet-unnamed male criminal partner. To say expectations were high would be an understatement; The premiere trailer broke the YouTube record by garnering 100 million views in just 24 hours.
