Without question, the biggest upcoming video game of the next few years is Rockstar Games’ “Grand Theft Auto VI”. When it releases, what we are likely to get is a massive open-world sandbox – full of things to do in Vice City.
There’s also expected to be a long campaign. GTA games generally clock in at around 31 hours just for the main story alone, with completionists taking around 50-85+ hours to 100% the game.
Rockstar’s prior major game to this was “Red Dead Redemption 2,” the 2018 title whose main story clocked in at 51 hours and to 100% that game came in around 190 hours.
Recently, popular YouTuber Legacy Killa HD (via CB) posted a report on the game and claims it is going to be more similar to “Red Dead Redemption 2” than people realise, saying it has a “lot more RDR2 gameplay in this than I think some expect.”
That suggests some of the interface and style improvements on RDR2 will make their way to GTA6. Whilst there will be a bunch of side content, they add that the main story is “shorter than Red Dead 2”.
The report also claims that a basketball minigame was originally planned for the title with a dedicated team at Rockstar Toronto working on it.
However as of late last year, that feature’s fate was allegedly looking very uncertain and on the “chopping block”. The franchise previously had a basketball minigame in “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” but such an inclusion was absent from both the fourth and fifth mainline entries.
Rockstar Games is known to cut tons of content from its games before release for various reasons. For now, “Grand Theft Auto VI” is targeting a late 2025 release.
