Overview

If you’re reading this, it’s obvious that you’re familiar with the next upcoming action-packed installment from Rockstar Games. If you’re not, then here’s a quick breakdown of the game.

It all takes place in the fictional state of Leonida (Rockstar’s hilarious parody of Florida). You’ll get to explore the neon-lit, sun-soaked streets of Vice City (a modern-day version of Miami), alongside surrounding areas like sunny beaches, deeply drenched swamps, and small towns.

The map is massive…. really massive, and heavily pokes fun at modern social media, influencer culture, and viral “Florida Man” internet memes.

For the first time ever, the story centers around a “Bonnie and Clyde” style romantic criminal couple. You can play as either Jason, the male protagonist that has a history of working with local drug smugglers and has military experience. Yeah, we get it. He can use a gun.

Then there’s the female protagonist, Lucia, who’s the series very first playable female lead. She is tough. She grew up in Liberty City, and starts the game fresh out of prison. So she has a criminal record, that’s original.

What I like about this so far is that you’re able to switch between both characters as they pull off robberies and get wrapped up in a massive criminal conspiracy across the state. Just like the masterpiece, and highly-rated GTA V.

The game promises to up-the-ante with realistic gaming graphics and details for this entry. I’m talking, firstly, next-gen graphics with incredible physics, smart AI, realistic hair/beard growth, and wildly detailed car interiors with working GPS screens.

Next is the grounded combat. Instead of pulling a massive rocket launcher out of thin air, you will have more limited weapon slots. You can even use your car’s trunk to store extra gear and weapons. That’s pretty realistic.

And lastly, the various side activities you get to do. Alongside standard street racing and robberies, leaks and teasers point to everything from fishing and scuba diving to hitting up local nightclubs and mud-trucking clubs.

Overall, the new GTA VI game promises to be fun, with plenty of action-packed entertaining, impressive graphics and well-orchestrated gameplay. Not much is said about the story but all that’ll be said after release and reviews flood the internet once again.

The GTA VI Editions

Rockstar Games is keeping things simple with two main versions at launch:

Standard Edition: This will cost $80/£60/R1500
Ultimate Edition: This one is $100/£76/R1900 and comes with extra in-game goodies like cool cars, outfits, and weapons for the main characters, Jason and Lucia

There’s also a sweet bonus if you buy the game early. Anyone who pre-orders gets the “Vintage Vice City Pack,” which includes neon-themed items to give you those classic retro vibes. Not really much to say at this point. The prices may change in the future however at this point, at least we have an idea of how much we need to save up for to buy GTA VI, especially the Ultimate version.

A Quick Heads-Up

If you still love buying physical copies, there’s a small twist this time. The physical game copies in stores will actually contain a set of game key codes to download GTA VI instead of a disc. But here’s the good news: once you pre-order GTA VI, you’ll get the game key codes earlier before everyone else on November 12th. That’s a full week before official game launch.

Sadly, if you’re a PC gamer, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to play. Rockstar Games has not yet confirmed a PC release date, as they’re focusing heavily on launching the game on the latest consoles first.

Buy hey, in the meantime if you need something to keep you busy while you wait, you can always play the older but one of the greatest Rockstar Game masterpieces today. So click HERE to get the PC version of the impressive, GTA V.
