The trailer for the new game, GTA 6, has been released after it was leaked online. The game will take place in a city inspired by Miami and will have a female main character named Lucia. However, we’ll have to wait until 2025 to play it. GTA 6 is the sequel to GTA V, which is the second best-selling video game ever. There have been lots of rumors and leaks about GTA 6 over the past ten years, and the trailer being confirmed got a lot of attention.

The trailer shows different scenes, like car races, boat parties, and a guy taking an alligator out of a pool. The game is expected to have controversial stuff, like the previous ones. People are excited about the female main character because it’s been a while since GTA had a woman lead in a main game. This is a big deal and shows that having a female main character is not a problem.

There are still some questions that the trailer didn’t answer. One big question is which consoles the game will be on, because they didn’t say in the video. But they did say that GTA 6 will come out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X in 2025. We don’t know yet if there will be a PC version, but if it’s like the other games, there probably will be.

We don’t know who will be the voice actor for Lucia, the main character. People are curious to find out who will bring her to life. The game is taking a while to come out because GTA V has been super successful, selling 190 million copies worldwide. GTA V is still really popular because of GTA Online, where you can rob banks and make gangs. It’s one of the top games on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and it’s the most expensive game ever made.

GTA has been a big deal since it first came out in 1997. It’s gotten a lot of praise but also caused controversy because of its violence. The first game even got questions asked about it in the House of Lords. Rockstar, the company that makes GTA, has also teamed up with Netflix to bring some of their games to the streaming service. Starting from December 14th, you can play games like GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas on your phone if you have a Netflix subscription.
