hey everyone Wes here filling in for Jimmy and as you guys know Grand Theft Auto 6 is probably
the most hyped game on the planet right now which is pretty insane to think about since it hasn't
even been officially confirmed yet heck at this point we don't even know if the game is going to
be called GTA 6 but everyone is putting it aside they're 70 so that they can get their hands on it
day one and I am of course among those ranks but despite Rockstar's complete silence on GTA 6 a lot
has came out recently about where the game is in development how far away a potential reveal will
be and when we can actually expect to see the game itself when it finally launches So today
we're going to go over all of the information for GTA 6 over the last few weeks from all of
the official news to the juicy rumors that have been floating around so click the like button on
the video if you're ready and let's get into this so just about a week ago there's quite a
bit of noise regarding Rockstar silence on GTA 6 and it actually started getting pretty loud
in fact multiple gaming Outlets were covering the frustrations of the community and I can honestly
see their perspective to many people Rockstar's insistence on releasing tiny teasers in GTA Online
some of those being incredibly obscure pieces of teasers instead of just giving an official update
on the game has gotten really frustrating since those are the same people who have been supporting
GTA 5 and its online component for almost a decade now remember GTA 5 came out in September
of 2013 so the fact that Rockstar still hasn't revealed the title of the next game is actually
pretty insane you have to kind of understand the Viewpoint from the people who have been stuck
on GTA Online despite Rockstar's controversial updates and their bad business decisions and yet
they're getting treated to extremely obscure GTA 6 teasers that don't actually mean anything at the
end of the day some members of the GTA Community feel like Rockstar don't actually take them very
seriously and are taken advantage of their support and while I think there's an argument to be made
on both sides of that argument since Rockstar does love being vague with all of their projects
not just GTA 6. I can totally see where these people are coming from that being said though a
number of inside sources have been claiming that we won't actually be waiting too much longer for
an official look at GTA 6 which is very good news the sources are currently claiming that September
of this year is going to be the time for Rockstar intake 2 to officially announce and show off
the new game since I will Mark the 10-year anniversary of GTA 5. GTA online launched
about a month after the base game but GTA 6 is very likely going to be revealed around the same
time as a 10th anniversary of the last game which would technically be September 17th so hopefully
the days of random t-shirts and coded messages within GTA online will be left behind and will
actually have a trailer to look at instead there's actually a bit of conflict with some
of the sources over how the game is going to be revealed with some claiming that it's going to
be a standard trailer on social media While others are suggesting that the reveal is going to happen
within GTA online before going to the rest of the internet well I don't think Rockstar is
considering using GTA online as their outlet for GTA 6 news I don't think they're actually going
to follow through with that for the official game reveal while some games like Warzone and fortnite
Battle Royale have been used to tease and reveal future projects those games are also free to play
GTA online on the other hand has a price tag attached to it and if Rockstar were to put the
world reveal of GTA 6 inside of their multiplayer game they would basically be putting a paywall
onto the trailer for GTA 6 which would not be a good thing as that would not be the best first
impression for such a highly anticipated game so I think Rockstar is going to be revealing GTA 6 the
old-fashioned way but I'm sure that there will be some type of additional material in GTA Online to
go along with it as well as kind of just give a thanks to the community that has supported them
for the last decade and made GTA The Sensation that it is some inside sources have also been
claiming throughout the last year or so the GTA 6 marketed campaign is going to be absolutely huge
so limiting the world reveal of GTA online doesn't make a whole lot of sense if the end goal is to
maximize engagement GTA 5 had tons of massive Billboards and bus ads across the country leading
up to the release and GTA 6 is likely going to be doing that even bigger plus it's going to
be spread around the internet like wildfire it's on social media and online gaming are obviously
much more lucrative fields in 2023 than they were back during the marketing campaign for GTA 5. so
ultimately I think it's safe to say that I would have GT Online installed in September because I'm
sure there's going to be some event that goes down maybe they'll incorporate some teasers
and additional reveal material incorporated into it but if you're worried about the actual reveal
being held to within gt online I seriously doubt that's the route the Rockstar is going to take
with this game the marketing campaign for GTA 6 is going to be absolutely huge and it's literally
going to break the internet and appear Around the World overnight we're going to wake up one morning
and boom there will be GTA 6 Billboards and plus ads everywhere you look but it's all going to
start with a trailer on YouTube and other social media platforms and it's extremely likely that
it's going to happen in mid to possibly even late September some people have raised questions as to
whether or not the recently leaked remake of Red Dead Redemption is going to push back the plans
for GTA 6 is reveal or release but I personally don't think it will it was leaked a few weeks ago
that the long rumored Red Dead remake is actually going to be released by the end of 2024 and that
the previous reports of it being shut down during development were inaccurate apparently Rockstar
did wind down development on the Red Dead remake after the disastrous reception of GTA trilogy but
it seems that project was never actually canceled and instead just given a bit more time and care
than it otherwise would have received which I think is actually great news but if Red Dead
remake is revealed this year and really since 2024 how would that affect GTA 6. to put it frankly I
just don't think it's gonna affect GTA 6 in the slightest assuming GTA 6 is revealed in September
that gives Rockstar another three months until the end of 2023 which I think is more than enough
time for them to space out the trailer drop then if the game comes out in mid 2024 it gives fans
plenty of time to play through it and get ready for GTA 6 which is believed to be launched in
either late 2024 or early 2025. at the end of the day I don't think Red Dead remake is going
to steal that many players away from GTA 6. even if the two games launched on the same day GTA 6
is going to generate more hype than Rockstar will ever be able to hold on to and Red Dead
remake will just be a fun little distraction while we're all waiting for the main course pivoted away
from the release and red dead remastered news there was actually official news that came out
about GTA 6's cast and crew recently although it didn't come from Rockstar themselves instead of
a prominent voice actress in the world of gaming came out and revealed some information that they
have about GTA 6 or rather information that they don't have a while back it was discovered that
Leslie Lovett who has done some AAA gaming work in the last few years particularly with
the Far Cry series they had a project recently on their resume code named Fireball would love
it seemingly matching the description for GTA 6's main female protagonist many people were starting
to say that she was actually going to be playing the character Lucia in GTA 6 but then a few weeks
ago love it herself came out on her Instagram story a few weeks ago and shut down the rumors
she stated that she was not involved with any GTA 6 game and then asked people to stop dming her and
spamming her with comments about it because she wasn't actually in the game well I think it's a
slight bummer that she's not going to be in the game because I think she's a great actress it's
nice to have some closure on one of GTA 6's biggest rumors that hit the internet recently
although I'm not really sure what people were expecting her to say if she was involved think
about it if she actually was involved with the game do you think that she was gonna tell people
on Instagram about it I mean she's under NDA and the game has a code name as well I'm just
saying if it's a rumored that a certain actor is going to be involved with a triple A major
game release it's extremely unlikely that dming them or asking them in their Instagram comments
section is actually going to get you anywhere because it's not like they would be able to
legally tell you anything anyways but regardless it seems confirmed that Leslie Lovett is not going
to be playing Lucia the female protagonist in GTA 6 so we can kind of put that rumor to rest
now in addition to news about the cast some leaks recently started spreading around the internet
regarding the game's map as another piece of the in-game map screenshot leaked from an unconfirmed
source as you may remember there was a GTA 6 map leak earlier this year but a few weeks ago
another map leak came out once again showing off a portion of the map screen and possibly line it up
with the previous leaks which means that both map leaks may end up being real although this
hasn't been 100 confirmed just yet Blaze map leak showed off what seems to be a body of water and a
handful of structures in a populated area although it doesn't have any point of Interest names which
was a bit of a disappointment but like I said it seems to be a screenshot of the in-game map rather
than gameplay itself but it's still something to go off of and it may or may not validate a
previous leak about a different region of the map although it's just hard to tell at this point and
before you dismiss all of these map leaks as obviously fake I'd like to remind you guys that
there's actually a pretty common practice in AAA gaming for the developer or publisher to
leak little things like this on social media and let the community spread them around and generate
buzz in the months lead it up to the official news to drop so you may be thinking to yourself there's
no way that this map leak is fake there's no way someone will leak just a little piece of the GTA
6 map right but I can tell you that yes this actually is a major thing that game companies
do for major releases so I wouldn't dismiss the map leak just yet obviously take them out
with a grain of salt but don't just miss them out right because I'm guessing the Rockstar is going
to be leaning heavily on the league Community to promote this game now when it comes to how big the
map is actually going to be we actually have some conflicting theories some have said that the game
is going to be significantly bigger than GTA 5 and I don't blame you for thinking that it makes total
sense right fired Rockstar goes smaller with a new game well there's actually some precedent for that
GTA Vice City was roughly 9.1 kilometers in GTA San Andreas was a whopping 38 square kilometers
but when GTA 4 released it went all the way back down to just 16 square kilometers and roughly half
of that was water GTA 4 was obviously a much more advanced game than its predecessors so reducing
the map size in order to focus on content was obviously a good idea but if GTA 6 is going to
truly be as advanced as we're expecting it to be Rockstar may end up making the game's map small
or maybe roughly the same size as GTA 5S which is an estimated of 75 square kilometers with roughly
two-thirds of that being land and one-third being water however there have been also some
inside sources that have been claiming the GTA 6 map is designed as the same scale as GTA 5S which
means it's going to be freaking huge as you may or may not know the GTA 5 map was based on Los
Angeles County and scaled at a rate of roughly 1-33 assuming GTA 6 is designed with the same
philosophy but based off of Miami instead of Los Angeles that would put the game's map somewhere
between 200 and 500 square kilometers depending on where Rockstar makes their cutoffs many trusted
inside sources have claimed that this game is going to be much bigger than GTA 5 and if GTA
5's map was roughly 75 square kilometers I think somewhere between 200 and 500 for GTA 6 sounds
fair the last thing that I want to touch on is an update on the trial of the hacker that originally
gave us all of this information about GTA 6 in the first place now in September of last year a
teenage hacker managed to leak hours worth of GTA 6 in progress footage and I think we all expected
Rockstar and take two to throw the entire law book at them with the goal of making an example out of
them but rather a strange development came out the other day apparently the hacker in question
is deemed unfit to stand trial against Rockstar and take two according to psychiatrists the 18
year old was just 17 when he committed what was possibly the biggest hack in the history of gaming
and basically of all time he also hacked Uber and Nvidia so needless to say the punishment for
this young hacker would be severe so it's pretty insane that as of recording this video he may not
even stand trial at all this story is going to be weird as it develops so be sure to keep an eye on
it and stay tuned to the channel for more updates on GTA 6 like this one are you guys excited for
the game to come out or are you waiting for the trailer before you get hyped personally I
