What Do We Know About GTA 6’s Setting?
Rockstar is back at it again with the newest addition to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, GTA 6. We finally have our first trailer and even a leaked release window. But the question remains: what year is GTA 6 set in?
Well, let’s take a trip down memory lane. The original GTA: Vice City gave us a taste of the neon-filled 80s. Now, with GTA 6 revisiting Vice City, fans are eager to know which era it will be set in this time.
When Is GTA 6 Set?
Although Rockstar hasn’t explicitly revealed the time period of GTA 6, it seems highly likely that the game will be set in the modern day.
If we analyze the Easter Eggs, memes, and internet celebrities featured in the trailer, it strongly points to a setting in either 2023 or even closer to the game’s release year, 2025.
The Social Media Era in GTA 6
The leaked trailer of GTA 6 gives us a glimpse into the game’s focus on the social media era. There are clear inspirations from popular platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
As we eagerly await more GTA 6 trailers, we hope to uncover not only the game’s era but also details about its main protagonist and whether it will be available on PC.
