The wait for GTA 6 has felt like forever, testing the patience of fans everywhere. So, when the trailer finally dropped online, it set social media on fire with excitement and speculation. Since its debut in 1998 with the original Grand Theft Auto, the series has had its fair share of controversies that have kept it in the spotlight.
The first game took players to a 2D open-world where they could do all sorts of wild stuff like stealing cars and causing chaos. But it was GTA 3 in 2001 that really changed the game, blowing everyone’s minds with its open-world gameplay. Now, with GTA 6 on the horizon, everyone’s buzzing with questions about what’s next.

Back in the late 1990s, gaming was mostly a guy thing, both in who played games and who made them. So, it’s no surprise that Rockstar Games originally aimed their GTA series at a male audience, with male protagonists to match. But as times changed, so did the gaming scenario, and people started asking for more diversity.
In the past GTA games, we’ve seen characters like Claude, Tommy Vercetti, CJ, Niko Bellic, and Michael De Santa take the spotlight. But now, with GTA 6, things are different. They’ve introduced the first-ever female protagonist to the series.
Of course, there are always going to be folks who resist change and want things to stay the same, but real progress means breaking barriers and challenging the norm. After all, who says only guys can run the criminal world? This change might shake things up and start some debates, but hey, that’s how we move forward.
GTA 6 is said to release sometime in 2025, as confirmed by Rockstar Games.
