Rockstar Games recently fuelled excitement by showing off a first trailer for the game

Excitement for GTA 6 is building after Rockstar Games recently released a first trailer for the game.

It has been 10 whole years since the last instalment, entitled GTA V, which has shattered many gaming records in the years since.


And fans can't wait to get their hands on the new title when it comes out in 2025.

GB News now takes a look at the latest news surrounding the game.

Nintendo Switch fans set to miss out

Tech experts reportedly don't think the next GTA will be available for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Digital Foundry boss Richard Leadbetter says the company have a 'pretty good idea' about the specs of the Switch 2.

And when asked if the game could come out on that specific console, he added: "This is going to be very very tricky to pull off.

“I’d love to say it would happen. I don’t think it will, realistically.

“It’s a mobile chipset. We’ve seen a lot of amazing things on the Switch 1. Switch 2 is going to be a lot better, a proper generational leap, and forward-looking in many ways.

"But the stuff they seem to be rolling out for GTA 6 is possibly beyond that.”

Map 'found' in trailer

A fan on Reddit thinks he's found the map within the GTA 6 trailer.

User Colonelwager zoomed in on a scene when a car goes past and has pointed an arrow that shows a bumper sticker.

Fans have reacted enthusiastically, with one saying: “Everyone is making fun of this post but I legit think it IS the map shape."

Another added: “That literally looks like the state of Florida."

And a third said: "Looks like a thick Florida."

Los Santos and Liberty City could appear

Los Santos and Liberty City could appear in GTA 6, according to YouTuber Broughy1322.

Speaking to GQ Magazine, he said: “From what I understand, that's been a long-term desire from the higher-ups at Rockstar, to have a GTA game with multiple cities, all in one.

“And to be honest, as a player, that is the ultimate GTA game, to be able to do stuff in Vice City, and then jump on a jumbo jet to Liberty City, or Los Santos.”

However, the YouTuber can't see that happening immediately.

“I would say they'd have to be added over time, which is something that fans have always wanted," he added.

Dmitri Williams, a gaming business expert and professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communications in California, thinks GTA 6 will shatter all records when it finally releases.

"The brand is as strong or stronger than it was before," he told the BBC.

"But additionally the game industry is larger.

"If it maintains the same slice of the pie, it's going to be big, because it will come from a bigger pie.

"The games industry is simply massive globally, and is no single genre or platform.

"It's so large and so varied that even fractions of it are larger than whole parallel industries like movies."
