GTA 6 Dev Teases "Mind-Blowing Things"

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI took home the "Most Wanted Game" award at the Golden Joysticks this week, and in an acceptance speech, a developer teased "absolutely mind-blowing things" to come from the game.

"There's an incredible amount of people doing amazing things on Grand Theft Auto 6. Absolutely mind-blowing things so it's a real honor to be able to come up here and accept this award on everyone's behalf," the developer said (via Rockstar Intel).

GTA 6 winning the award for most-anticipated upcoming game is no surprise at all given the incredible amount of hype surrounding the game, which is set for release in Fall 2025. GTA 6 is also nominated for the Most Anticipated award at December's The Game Awards.

The Golden Joystick's overall Game of the Year award, called the Ultimate Game of the Year, was given to Game Science's Black Myth: Wukong while Team Asobi won Studio of the Year for Astro Bot.

GTA 6 is set in Vice City, which is a stand-in for Miami, Florida. Its first trailer was released in early December 2023, and to date, Rockstar Games has not released any additional footage or official details about the game.

GTA 6 has enormous shoes to fill, as GTA V--which was originally released in 2013--has sold an astonishing 205 million copies. Its GTA Online mode, meanwhile, earns money from its microtransactions, which have proven to be lucrative. It remains to be seen what could happen to GTA Online when GTA 6 releases, but keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.
