3 features Rockstar is hiding in GTA 6 until launch
Image via Rockstar Games Rockstar Games has never played it safe, especially not with GTA VI. While the two trailers have blown minds with Vice City beaches, neon-lit chaos, and that explosive chemistry between Lucia and Jason, there's still a lot we don't know. And that's exactly how Rockstar wants it. So, what is Rockstar keeping under wraps? Based on insider leaks, job listings, subtle clues, and pure fan obsession, here are three major features Rockstar might be hiding until launch day. 1. The Real Map Size (and What's Outside Vice City) Image via X/@GTA6XMedia Rockstar has officially confirmed Leonida , not just Vice City. The trailers tease places like Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, and Leonida Keys, but they barely scratch the surface. So what's missing? The actual map size is still a mystery. Leaks suggest it could be 2-3x bigger than GTA 5, possibly with rural towns, swamps, farmlands, and a working Everglades-style ecosystem. We haven't seen any of it in action. No highway systems, no outer-city mechanics, no day trips to fictional Orlando or Tampa-style cities. Rockstar is likely saving the full map reveal to surprise us with scale, variety, and life. If Red Dead 2's open world taught us anything, it's that the edges of the map often hold the best secrets. 2. Character Switching Is Back… But It's Evolved Yes, we've seen Lucia and Jason together in both trailers, but Rockstar has been suspiciously quiet about how we'll control them. Is it GTA V-style switching? Or something entirely new? Rumors suggest Rockstar is developing a dynamic switching system that changes based on your choices, location, and wanted level. Imagine pulling off a heist as Lucia, switching mid-police chase to Jason across town, and then watching both timelines merge for an epic getaway. They're probably saving this mic-drop moment for the final gameplay reveal. There will be MORE THAN 2 PROTAGONISTS in GTA 6 3. A Third Playable Character (Still Under Wraps) Lucia and Jason are officially confirmed. Their chemistry is already giving Bonnie & Clyde meets modern chaos . But here's where it gets interesting: Rockstar loves the three-character dynamic. They perfected it in GTA V, and fans adored the variety. So… where's the third? Some theories floating around suggest: A corrupt cop, working both sides. A Florida Man-style wildcard, adding dark humor. Or a silent fixer who ties into GTA Online. Why hide it? Simple: Rockstar wants one last major reveal just before launch or even in the post-release content wave. Rockstar doesn't show all its cards in trailers, and that's the beauty of it. With every frame, they're saying just enough to spark the hype but holding back the jaw-droppers for later. And if history's taught us anything, it's this: when Rockstar goes quiet, they're cooking something massive.

GTA 6 second trailer smashes records, but fans fear another delay; are you worried? Check details
GTA 6, or Grand Theft Auto VI, finally released its second trailer in May after a year-long wait. The second trailer is the biggest video launch in history, with over 475 million views in its first 24 hours across all platforms. Amid this, fans are eagerly waiting for the game to launch, but they can't stop predicting the release date. Recently, the fans on social media shared their concerns over another delay coming in after the game was initially delayed to 2026. When the second trailer of the game was released last month, Rockstar announced that GTA 6 is delayed to 26th May, 2026. According to the studio, they released a ton of new screenshots and artwork from the game, and it has also been updated on its website with extra information. Fans are concerned over the further delay of the game Even while it appears that this date is now final and won't be altered, GTA 6 fans are concerned that Rockstar might cause the game to be delayed once again. A recent Reddit post that went viral said, "How would you feel if GTA 6 got delayed AGAIN?" This sparked discussions online among users, and one wrote, "What's more pain is that fact that people who are looking forward to the 2026 release will make that but will die before a 2027 release" "I'm expecting a second delay, TBH," another noted. It's happened for both GTAV and Red Dead 2." While one said, "Both were slated to release in the spring of the respective years they came out. They were both delayed twice. My advice to you younger folks. Just don't even think about it. I obsessed over GTAV for the two years in between the release date and the launch. Same with Red Dead. They both exceeded my expectations. It will be worth the wait." Why is there a possibility that GTA 6 will be delayed further? Rockstar Games usually only delays a game when they don't have a concrete release date to be announced. However, the game could be delayed multiple times if it has not been given a specific date, but there is still a chance that 26th May 2026 is going to be the release date, as per Gaming Bible.

Will GTA 6's narrative contain a significant time leap? Theory behind how its span would last for decades
Image via Rockstar GTA 6 is easily the most hyped game of the decade, and with Rockstar's history of pushing boundaries, fans are already deep into theory-crafting. One burning question: Will the game's story span decades with a major time leap? Some clues suggest that GTA 6's narrative could stretch across multiple eras, giving us a deeper, more dynamic experience. Sounds crazy? Maybe. But it's not entirely impossible. How Long Can GTA 6 Really Last? The Theory: A Story That Evolves Over Time The main argument for a time leap in GTA 6 comes from Rockstar's love for long, ambitious storytelling. With games like Red Dead Redemption 2, they've already shown how they can craft decade-spanning narratives (Arthur Morgan's journey covered eight years). What if GTA 6 does something similar? Here's why it makes sense: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Car Novels Undo Lucia and Jason's Story Arc – From the first trailer, it's clear Lucia is a central character, possibly inspired by Bonnie & Clyde. What if the game starts in her early criminal years and then fast-forwards to show the long-term consequences of her actions? Rockstar's Obsession with Detail – If any studio can pull off a decades-spanning story, it's Rockstar. Red Dead 2 nailed historical accuracy, so why not show Miami-inspired Vice City across different eras? Red Dead Redemption 2's Time Jump Factor – Rockstar already pulled off a massive epilogue time jump in RDR2, letting players experience life post-Van der Linde gang. What if GTA 6 does the same? Maybe Lucia's story starts as a small-time criminal, then we jump 10 years to see her running a full-blown cartel—or hunted and on the run. GTA 6: The Story Could Be LONGER Than You Think! How Long Will Rockstar Stick With GTA 6? Some fans on Reddit argue that GTA 6 could last 15+ years based on how Rockstar plans its future: If Rockstar focuses on GTA 6 exclusively, we might be in this for the long haul (think 16-25 years of updates). If they pivot to RDR3, then GTA 7 might not happen until the 2030s (a 10-12 year gap). If they immediately start GTA 7 post-GTA 6, we could see a shorter cycle (6-8 years). Rockstar isn't afraid of bold storytelling, and with the biggest budget in gaming history, they have the resources to pull off a narrative spanning decades. If they go this route, GTA 6 could be the most ambitious, evolving open-world experience we've ever seen. What do you think? Would you be down for a GTA story that evolves over time?
