GTA 6 Rumors: Project Americas, Female Protagonist, And Release Date Speculation - GameSpot

GTA 6 has no release date or even official confirmation from Rockstar Games, but rumors about the next big Grand Theft Auto game continue to swirl, fueled by fan speculation and unverified leaks on everything from potential location, setting, and time period, to which platforms it will hit and details about what a new game could mean for the future of GTA Online.

In lieu of any official information about Grand Theft Auto 6, here's a history of every major GTA 6 rumor and supposed leak from the last couple of years?

Remember that none of the rumors discussed in this article have been verified by GameSpot, and very few have been verified by other news outlets as coming from reputable sources--they should be treated strictly as rumors and fan speculation and not official information from Rockstar, unless otherwise stated.

According to Benzies, "Vice City, perhaps more than any other GTA game, was as much about the era as the setting.

As with everything else in this story, Rockstar has yet to comment officially on GTA 6's setting, so we have only rumors from anonymous sources and fan speculation to go off of.

In 2019, an anonymous Pastebin post made the rounds after the author, claiming to be an Environment Artist at Rockstar Games, leaked unverified information about GTA 6.

It also elaborated on the Vice City setting, stating that the game will take place not just in the fictionalized Florida city, but also Liberty City, the fictionalized NYC at the heart of GTA 4, with a stretch of smaller towns and swamplands between the two cities on the game map.

Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, in a piece for Kotaku about the culture of Rockstar a year and a half after the launch of Red Dead Redemption 2, mentioned "a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series" was in "early development." That was in 2020.

The same Pastebin leak also claims that it's "seen rumours online" (yes, a leak citing other rumors) about a "possible PS5 deal for exclusivity.".

The Pastebin leak, more than anything, is one of the more unsubstantiated sources of GTA 6 rumors as it is completely anonymous and unverified, so it's worth mentioning again that none of this has even come close to being confirmed by Rockstar.

Despite all the rumors listed here, Rockstar has never directly confirmed or announced the existence of GTA 6.

Some fans believe this image of a robot embracing the Rockstar Games logo, uploaded to its website in early 2020, is further "proof" that the game may be set in Vice City

So given all of this, what do we know about Grand Theft Auto 6
