It goes without saying that there has been some significant progress in the rumors around GTA 6. The latest fan theories have been more convincing than ever.

The year-old leak had allegedly revealed everything Rockstar might offer with the upcoming epic 

Spoiler Alert! The year-old leak had claimed the sixth edition to be a more enhanced and immersive experience from a lot of perspectives. From sounds, and vehicles to additional new mechanics, there’s an upgrade attempted at every possible feature in the successor of GTA V. The infamous GTA 6 hack revealed that the game will have a female and male protagonist and that the plot will be inspired by Bonnie and Clyde. This implies that the plot will allegedly revolve around a couple who are on the run from the law following a series of heists, which sounds very GTA.

Also, Vice City wouldn’t be the main focus because Florida as a whole would be engaged. In that case, they assert, the map would be the combined size of GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, and it would be set in a contemporary version of Miami. It is important to note that all these mentions are based on leaks around the title and haven’t been given any confirmation by the makers.

All these alleged claims have only fueled what seems to already sky-high expectations with the game. Recently, GTA V completed its ten-year anniversary and fans believe there’s no better time to officially tease the ‘most expensive gaming product of all time.’
