Stephen A. Smith has co-signed a fan request to appear in GTA 6. After a fan said that the game needed a radio station featuring Smith, the ESPN personality replied, saying “I do love me some Vice City” and tagging GTA developer Rockstar Games. Smith’s bombastic style would be perfect for the spoken interstitials between the tracks of licensed music played on the in-game radio stations. Hell, maybe Rockstar could add a side quest where you have to help the in-game Smith deal with his rival, the in-game version of Skip Bayless.
GTA 6 is due to be released next year. Rockstar finally teased the game at the end of 2023. Fittingly for Smith’s musing, the game is due to return to Vice City, the in-universe version of Miami. However, fans are still waiting for more substantial news about the game following Rockstar’s initial vibes-based trailer. What is known currently is that GTA 5‘s multi-protagonist mechanic is returning and that one of the playable characters will be a woman for the first time in the history of the series.
However, one person who won’t be playing GTA 6, Stephen A. Smith feature or not, is Elon Musk. As the trailer for GTA 6 dropped, Musk revealed that it’s not a game series that he plays. “Tried, but didn’t like doing crime. GTA5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn’t do it,” Musk tweeted in reply to another user saying they didn’t play the games. The response was widely mocked on the platform, with many people saying that Elon Musk was “a Drake type”.
However, Musk’s indifference to the series didn’t stop his beloved X from debasing themselves at the feet of the game’s developer, Rockstar. Rockstar was forced to release their trailer a day earlier due to an internal leak. However, X CEO Linda Yaccarino quickly made a post suggesting that Rockstar should directly upload the trailer to X to increase visibility. Rockstar would later do this, albeit with a boilerplate caption added.
Rockstar Games has finally released the first look teaser trailer for the long awaited Grand Theft Auto VI. The game, which has been in development for a full decade, is set to take place in the fictional Florida locale of Vice City. From the first look, there seems to be plenty of oceanfront insanity for gamers to explore. With only 90 seconds of footage to analyze, fans of the GTA franchise have already begun performing a deep dive into the big reveals scattered throughout the teaser. Here are 5 of the biggest hints regarding what’s to come with the flagship franchise’s upcoming outing.

5. Play As A Female Protagonist
Rumors have been circulating that Grand Theft Auto VI may feature a playable female character for some time now. The first teaser trailer seemingly reveals this to be true by introducing Lucia. Lucia looks to be engaged in a series of Bonnie and Clyde-style robberies with her male partner Jason. While gamers initially had negative reactions to the rumor of a female main character, the trailer seems to have gotten overwhelmingly positive responses from fans. Several GTA fans have even taken to social media to joke about the realities of playing as a woman in the mean streets of Vice City, and what that entails for style and gameplay options.
4. Vehicles For The Next Generation
In addition to a female lead, the trailer features a host of flashy classic cars. Vice City is rich with residents and visitors flexing their cash, and their hip tricked-out rides are no exception. Eagle-eyed viewers were able to catch glimpses of Porsches, Rolls Royces, and Pegassi Aventadors. Other interesting rides include boats, motorcycles, and even an airboat for cruising through the swamp. While each of these rides only received a moment in the spotlight, fans have already taken note. Soon enough we’ll be able to see if Grand Theft Auto VI truly lives up to its name by hot-wiring, repainting, and re-homing some of the finest rides available.
Grand Theft Auto VI‘s first trailer contains several shots of Florida wildlife invading public spaces. Previous installments of the series saw players taking on mountain lions, bears, and violent domestic dogs. With Rockstar’s latest outing, Red Dead Redemption 2, the game studio put a great deal of effort into adding grizzly bears, snakes, and many other animal assets, meaning the gators in GTA have the potential to be as violent and ever-present as any common gang banger.
2. Social Media Will Be A Focus
Games within the Grand Theft Auto franchise have always served as a satirical mirror to the ills of real life. Now, with social media being such a massive part of our day-to-day lives, it should come as no surprise that it will play a substantial role in Grand Theft Auto VI. When GTA 5 premiered back in 2013, it featured a mission that saw the player taking down a Facebook-style social media entity for political purposes, mirroring Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg’s pull in the political sphere. Now that TikTok has become the predominant app among young people, the trailer for GTA 6 has taken care to include plenty of shots replicating the vertical UI.
1. We’ll Have To Wait Until 2025 For The Full Game
Despite the long wait, it looks like Rockstar isn’t quite finished tweaking the fine details in Grand Theft Auto VI just yet. Fans were excited at the thought of a 2024 release date after waiting for more than a decade to play the game, but the trailer revealed a tentative date of 2025. Of course, more trailers and promotional material are sure to surface online throughout 2024. The build-up to GTA 6 has only just begun.
As the trailer for GTA 6 dropped a day early this past Monday, Elon Musk revealed that it’s not a game series that he plays. “Tried, but didn’t like doing crime. GTA5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn’t do it,” Musk tweeted in reply to another user saying they didn’t play the games. The response was widely mocked on the platform, with many people saying that Elon Musk was “a Drake type”.
However, Musk’s indifference to the series didn’t stop his beloved X from debasing themselves at the feet of the game’s developer, Rockstar. Rockstar was forced to release their trailer a day earlier due to an internal leak. However, X CEO Linda Yaccarino quickly made a post suggesting that Rockstar should directly upload the trailer to X to increase visibility. Rockstar would later do this, albeit with a boilerplate caption added. Despite this, fans were largely underwhelmed by the trailer. It was definitely more of a game reveal, giving off the vibes of the game’s Miami-esque setting and a vague release date of 2025.
Elon Musk And Tesla Facing Mass Strikes In Scandinavia
However, while Musk doesn’t enjoy breaking virtual laws, laws in the real world appear to be a very different matter. Tesla workers in Sweden have been on strike for six weeks after Telsa refused to sign a collective bargaining agreement with one of Sweden’s biggest unions. Things only got worse for Musk and Tesla as postal workers and dockworkers joined the striking mechanics. This essentially led to a blockade on the import of Teslas and Tesla products into Sweden.
Now, a plan to import the vehicles into Denmark and drive them across the border into Sweden has been scrapped. 3F Transport, one of Denmark’s biggest unions, has agreed to a solidarity strike with IF Metall. This means that a vast majority of Denmark’s truck drivers and dockworkers will refuse to accept Tesla deliveries earmarked for Sweden. Musk, who is famously anti-union, has called the strikes “insane” and has already filed several lawsuits in Sweden. “Even if you are one of the richest in the world, you can’t just make your own rules. We have some labor market agreements in the Nordic region. And you have to comply with them if you want to run a business here,” 3F Transport Chair Jan Villasden said.
The first trailer for GTA 6 will be released at 9am Eastern on December 5, Rockstar Games announced. The news comes after Rockstar teased the trailer’s release in early November. Now, nearly a month later, fans finally know when they need to set an alarm.
GTA 6 has been stuck in a secretive development cycle for many years now. This has frustrated loyal fans, with the massively popular GTA 5 now being a decade old. An early build of the game was leaked to social media last year. The leak led to some minor drama online. Many believed that the test build’s low-quality graphics were indicative of the final game. While the game’s release date is still unknown, fans may be given a better indication of the release cycle during the trailer next week.
As mentioned, the development of GTA 6 has been incredibly secretive and many years in the making. The most recent reports suggest that the game will a female protagonist for the first time in the series’ history. Furthermore, it’s believed that the multi-protagonist mechanic from GTA 5 will also be returning. GTA 5 was the first game in the series to feature multiple protagonists, whom the player controlled in various missions as part of a wider, interconnected story. The leaks from last year appeared to show two protagonists – Jason and Lucia.
Furthermore, the game is believed to be set in Vice City, the GTA equivalent of Las Vegas. Previously, GTA 3 was set in Vice City in the late 1980s, meaning that players will be returning to a familiar location at a later point in its history, as GTA 6 is believed to be set in the modern day. Additionally, the leaks from last year appeared to show the inclusion of new stealth mechanics, a major shift for the franchise. There was also a significant improvement to AI pathing, especially in regard to when interacting with law enforcement. However, this is a developing story and we’ll have any updates and when they emerge.
GTA 6 is finally coming to gamers, sometime in the near future Although it has been 10 years since GTA 5, we have not gotten a sequel. Leaks have run rampant for years at this point. However, nothing has really been made concrete. Rockstar Games is exceptionally coy about these kinds of things. They will never let their fans know if something new is coming out. Essentially, you have to wait until Rockstar is ready, and not the other way around. They have done this for years, and it has worked for them.
However, today, they finally revealed that a trailer for GTA 6 is going to come out next month. Essentially, to celebrate the 25-year anniversary of the company, Rockstar wants to give fans something special. That said, this does not mean the game is imminent. In fact, the game could still come out months from now. Regardless, there are fans out there who remain optimistic that something will be released, sooner rather than later.
Of course, those who play on the previous generation of consoles are curious about how this will work out. It has been hard for many to get a hold of the PS5. Consequently, some want to play this game on the PS4. However, this led to a pretty hilarious conundrum on social media. Many began to post memes of what would happen when the PS4 boots up GTA 6 for the first time. Pretty much, every video or photo was of some sort of explosion. It was extremely funny, and we’re sure many gamers will be looking to upgrade their hardware.
The Memes Pour In

Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates on this title. We will make sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite games. Although it is hard not to just focus on the new GTA.
Grand Theft Auto 6, the highly-anticipated next chapter in the iconic franchise developed by Rockstar Games Inc., is on the horizon, generating tremendous excitement among gamers and fans. 10 years after the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, its follow-up stands as one of the most anticipated releases of this decade. With a trailer expected in December, the unveiling of GTA VI is a significant event in the gaming world.
What should we expect, though? Rockstar Games has frequently pushed the boundaries of gaming with each installment in the coveted series. Between alleged gameplay leaks and updates from Rockstar Games over the years, it seems that they’re planning to redefine the gaming world, once again, with Grand Theft Auto 6. Here’s what we know.
Rockstar Games Inc., the renowned developer of the Grand Theft Auto series, is gearing up to unveil its plans for the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, with a trailer expected in December to mark the company’s 25-year anniversary. This upcoming installment in the iconic franchise has gamers and fans eagerly awaiting its release. Grand Theft Auto, initiated in 1997, evolved into a cultural phenomenon since its release. With a catalog boasting over 405 million copies sold worldwide, it received acclaim for its open-world gameplay.
Grand Theft Auto allows players to traverse recreations of cities like Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. Although early designs for GTA VI hinted at a vast North and South American setting, the final game will center around a fictionalized Miami and its surroundings. Players will take on the roles of two protagonists, a man and a woman. Leaks have provided glimpses of modern-day Vice City, fresh gameplay mechanics, and improved AI.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise has greatly evolved since its top-down view beginnings. With each iteration, it has embraced more cinematic qualities, featuring celebrity voices and immersive narratives. In an industry where competition in the genre of Hollywood-like games has intensified, players anticipate that Rockstar and Take-Two will elevate their standards. With budgets reaching nine figures for top-tier titles, Rockstar is poised to invest heavily in ensuring GTA VI matches the success of its predecessor.
Per Dextero, in a groundbreaking gameplay revelation, leaks revealed GTA 6 will likely introduce an unprecedented number of enterable buildings, significantly exceeding any previous title in the series. Furthermore, this innovative feature promises to be a central element of the game, directly influencing core gameplay mechanics like theft and robbery. Players will have the opportunity to explore a diverse array of locations, from traditional venues like bars and clubs to new environments such as pawn shops, supermarkets, apartments, and laundries. The inclusion of pawn shops, in particular, hints at an enhanced role in heist missions, building on the concept of robberies from GTA V. This exciting gameplay evolution looks like it will redefine the GTA experience. Additionally, the game seems like it will deliver a dynamic and immersive open-world environment for players to explore and interact with, making GTA 6 one of the most eagerly anticipated titles in recent memory.
Initial expectations pointed to a release sometime in Take-Two’s 2024 fiscal year, covering April 2023 through March 2024. However, the world of video game development is notorious for unexpected delays, as seen with titles like Cyberpunk 2077. Rockstar has kept its cards close to the chest, stating the game will be ready when it’s ready. Despite the anticipation, there is no rush, with GTA Online still enjoying a healthy player base.
The significance of GTA VI to Rockstar is immense. Its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto V, set records as the fastest entertainment release to reach $1 billion in retail sales and remained the best-selling game in the US over the past decade. The addition of GTA Online‘s multiplayer platform has been a significant source of revenue, further expanded by the introduction of a paid GTA+ subscription. Moreover, the release of GTA VI is expected to replicate this success and drive growth in revenue from online services and in-game content.
Grand Theft Auto 6, or GTA VI, holds a special place in the hearts of gamers and fans alike. The anticipation is high, and with Rockstar’s track record, the game is expected to deliver an unforgettable experience. There’s no doubt that it will solidify its position as a cultural phenomenon in the world of video games. While the exact release date remains uncertain, one thing is clear: GTA VI is set to make waves when it finally hits the shelves.
Rockstar Games has announced that the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 will be released next month. The surprise announcement came as part of a thread on X reflecting on the dev studio’s 25th anniversary. “We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you. Thank you, Sam Houser,” the post read.
GTA 6 has been stuck in a secretive development cycle for many years now. This has frustrated loyal fans, with the massively popular GTA 5 now being a decade old. An early build of the game was leaked to social media last year. This led to some minor drama online. Many believed that the test build’s low-quality graphics were indicative of the final game. However, aside from the tease of a trailer next month, there is no word on when the final game will be released.
As mentioned, the development of GTA 6 has been incredibly secretive and many years in the making. The most recent reports suggest that the game will a female protagonist for the first time in the series’ history. Furthermore, it’s believed that the multi-protagonist mechanic from GTA 5 will also be returning.

However, this is a developing story and we’ll have any updates and when they emerge.
If you are a fan of video games, then you have probably been waiting on GTA 6 to be released. Of course, GTA V came out back in 2013. Moreover, it got a Next-Gen version in 2014, and subsequently got another Next-Gen upgrade. This game has lasted three console generations, and there is a realistic chance it survives four. Overall, this is not acceptable for a lot of fans. Rockstar Games has refused to give proper updates on this series, and fans don’t know when the next game will come out.
Over the last few years, a target year of 2025 and 2026 has been suggested. Furthermore, it appears to be confirmed that the game will take place in Vice City. If you played the 2002 title GTA: Vice City, you know that this is a stylized version of Miami. Although, you can expect the new map to be significantly larger and livelier. Moreover, you can also expect the game to cost Rockstar Games a pretty penny to put together.
GTA 6 Is Nowhere In Sight
According to a report from Dexerto, GTA 6 is going to cost a grand total of $1 billion to make. In fact, the final production costs will probably be larger than that. When GTA 6 was created, it had the largest budget of any piece of media in the history of entertainment. Of course, it was eventually surpassed as budgets began to grow and inflation consumed the industry. With this budget north of $1 billion, it seems like Rockstar Games is looking to take its record back.
For those of you who want to play GTA 6, well, you will have to be patient. If you can survive 10 years without a new game, what’s another two? That said, we’re sure Rockstar Games will bless fans soon enough. Let us know your hopes for the new game, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the gaming world.
Many players are waiting onGrand Theft Auto 6’s release date. It is one of the world’s most popular video game series. Most players were introduced to it in their childhoods. Some could only play it at an older family member’s house. The game’s title is a clue to the type of activities players can do. However, the carnage goes far beyond stealing cars. Grand Theft Auto has caused controversy several times across the years. Yet, new entries continue to come in. Players eagerly (and impatiently) await the next entry, GTA 6.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Has Been Around for Years
The release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 seems elusive for all players. This is because the game’s creator, Rockstar, still makes content for Grand Theft Auto 5. The game was initially released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013. Since then, the game has been upgraded for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 – as well as the Xbox counterpart.
For many players, this shows two things: the power of technology and how some things can be changed to keep up with current times. It also shows that Rockstar wants to continue working on something existing instead of making something new. Some players appreciate that new content is still being added. They enjoy that new missions, vehicles, clothes, and other features are still being put in the game. Other players would prefer the studio focus on creating a new game altogether.
Players are asking about the release date for GTA 6 every day. People often share how long they have been playing the game in a frustrated way. When the PS5 version of the game was first announced, they rewarded players on the PS4. Players received one million dollars of in-game currency every month until the PS5 version was released. For many players this was an incentive to keep playing.
The Grand Theft Auto 6 Release Date
Rockstar has not shared the release date for GTA 6. One issue that players have is the mystery surrounding the game. In 2023, video game studios pride themselves on being transparent with their players. Many games have dedicated Twitter accounts for assisting players with issues they may have in a game. Additionally, they have regularly posted blogs with announcements or reveals.
Franchises like Call of Duty use a Trello board where players can see specific aspects of the game being worked on. Rockstar has not been transparent about their process with GTA 6. In fact, the only thing players have heard is “the next entry in the series is well underway.” This came from a tweet from Rockstar in February 2022.
Players have been clinging to leaks and rumors. The only confirmed report suggests the year 2024 as a release window. This did not come directly from Rockstar but through Microsoft – which created Xbox. However, before this, the year 2025 was rumored and once again – not stated by Rockstar. Leaks have confirmed rumors of the game being set in a modern-day version of Vice City. That was the location of Grand Theft Auto’s 2002 game of the same name based in Miami. These leaks also confirmed that players could control at least two main protagonists in the story mode – a man (Jason) and a woman (Lucia). The latter would be a first for the series on next-gen consoles.
The Grand Theft Auto songs from the radio stations are just as essential as the gameplay. Listening to the radio stations is one of the best parts of GTA V. Players have a wide variety of stations to choose from with multiple music genres. One of the fascinating aspects of these stations was the DJs that hosted them. These ranged from cemented legends like Bootsy Collins and Pam Grier to modern legends like Frank Ocean. Since the game has been out so long, they even added a new station with popular songs from this current time. Since talking about GTA 6 is something players will do until it is fully revealed, we’ve gathered some of our favorite stations we want to see in the upcoming game.
Space 103.2
We want to see songs from this station in GTA 6 because sometimes you need to appreciate the old school. Bootsy Collins hosts this one and does an excellent job at it. We welcome his iconic voice and catchphrases when we hear them between songs. This station is home to funk songs of the ’70s and early ’80s. Additionally, Bootsy’s classic hit “I’d Rather Be With You” is on this station but there are other great funk songs too. These include “Flash Light” by Parliament and “Back and Forth” by Cameo. However, these songs are usually more celebrated by a generation ahead of most GTA players, but they still sound good. We think this station should return because while GTA Online is a warzone, you can still find time to dance while speeding around.
The Lowdown 91.1
Once again, songs from this station being in GTA 6 help us appreciate the old school. Host Pam Grier is an iconic actress from the ’70s until today, and naturally, she plays music from decades ago. These songs are all soul, and many of the artists are groups with “The” in their names. Hearing artists that sound like weekend cleaning music we grew up on is a significant contrast to the antics of GTA, but it works. Pam Grier’s cool and clever rhymes match the station’s atmosphere well. Furthermore, her DJ name is “Mama G,” which, again, fits the theme of the station perfectly. Those who appreciate soulful samples might find some on this station they recognize.
iFruit Radio
We would like to see songs from this station in GTA 6 because it gives us modern music. Other stations have multiple songs from the 2010s, and forward; however, this one was different. When they added it to the game in 2019, it had songs that were playing on radios in real life that day. These included chart-toppers like “Hot (Remix)” by Young Thug feat. Gunna and Travis Scott, and “Cash Sh*t” by Megan Thee Stallion feat. DaBaby. Danny Brown and Skepta hosted this station, and Danny brought his signature laugh and humor with him. For some players, GTA is enjoyed separately from the real world. However, sometimes we want a slight overlap. With a station like this in GTA 6, we can hear our favorite big hits of the time.
Blonded Los Santos 97.8
We may not get songs for this station exactly in GTA 6, but we should get some sort of equivalent. Frank Ocean hosts this station as himself, along with Vegyn, Roof Access, and Fed. Frank Ocean’s Blonde album was released in 2016. They added this station to the game in 2017. Naturally, there are several songs from his discography on this station, including tracks from Blonde. With Frank being the music lover he is, there is a wide range of music on this station. Artists played ranged from Jay-Z to Lil Uzi Vert to Marvin Gaye. With Frank’s reclusive behavior, it’s not likely he’ll return for a station like this. However, getting a station from someone as unique as him would be interesting. Perhaps Donald Glover or LaKeith Stanfield?
West Coast Classics
This is a station we want songs from in GTA 6. However, we may not get it. The game is rumored to take place in a Miami-esque location that is not West Coast-based like Los Santos. However, the game is also rumored to have multiple locations, so we’ll just have to wait and see. This station is home to classics from the ’90s West Coast rap era. Hosted by DJ Pooh, there are classics from Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, N.W.A and more. In GTA Online, you can get a supercar just as quickly as a lowrider. You’ll probably enjoy riding around listening to this station more in the latter.
The Lab
This station would have a lot of songs to choose from in GTA 6. It is hosted by The Alchemist and Oh No, whose DJ personas are Chemical Bro and Dr. No. It plays songs from their collab album The Alchemist and Oh No Present: Welcome to Los Santos. Furthermore, these are the only songs it plays. However, this station still has range, including Little Dragon, Ab-Soul, Samuel T. Herring, and more.
They added this station to the game in 2015, and The Alchemist has released much music since then. An updated version could include songs he’s produced for Boldy James, Conway The Machine, and Larry June. Furthermore, these artists mention various situations involving cars in their music all the time. It’s only right they include them in GTA 6.
Radio Los Santos
We know the songs on this station will be under a different name in GTA 6. For one, the game doesn’t take place in Los Santos. Its host, the real-life DJ Big Boy, is also a staple in west coast radio. GTA 6 takes place on the east coast…allegedly. GTA V was initially released in 2013, and many songs on the station were released that year, too. For players, this made the game feel like it was truly happening in the present time. Having the same concept in GTA 6 would be a great move. Further, an even better one would be to have an east coast DJ host it. Maybe Funkmaster Flex? We think hearing his bombs while throwing bombs at enemies in the game would pair nicely.
What stations do you want to see return in some way in GTA 6? Let us know in the comments section.
