A fresh leak surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI has reignited discussion across the gaming community, as new details hint at a sprawling single-player campaign that could stretch up to 75 hours in length. While Rockstar Games has yet to officially confirm the story duration, the unverified leak has stirred excitement—and skepticism—among fans eager for more information about the long-awaited sequel.
The leak, which surfaced through a combination of datamining, insider claims, and early promotional material analysis, suggests that GTA 6 will feature a dual-protagonist structure, expansive narrative arcs, and deeply immersive world-building across multiple locations. The alleged runtime of 75 hours positions it as potentially the longest campaign in the franchise’s history—far surpassing GTA V’s 30 to 40 hours and even outpacing Red Dead Redemption 2’s highly detailed 50-hour story.
At the center of the game’s narrative, according to the leak, are two protagonists: Lucia and Jason, a criminal duo whose evolving relationship underpins the emotional and thematic core of the story. The leak hints at branching narrative paths, with key decisions impacting the direction of certain missions, character arcs, and potentially even the game’s ending. If true, this would mark Rockstar’s most ambitious attempt yet at player-driven storytelling.
The rumored setting spans a modern-day Vice City and several surrounding regions in a fictionalized take on southern Florida. The massive map is reportedly broken into dense urban areas, sprawling rural backroads, swamps, beaches, and offshore islands. Each area is said to feature its own micro-economies, side narratives, and local gang factions, contributing to the scale and depth of the main story.
One standout element discussed in the leak is a persistent character system, where player actions over time—such as how they handle robberies, interact with NPCs, or manage their criminal empire—can result in dynamic narrative shifts. Players might see unique dialogue, mission availability, or consequences based on how they approach major events.
Despite the buzz, not all fans are on board with the rumored 75-hour length. Some have expressed concerns that a story of that magnitude could become bloated or padded with filler content. Others worry about potential burnout, especially in an era where many gamers struggle to complete long single-player titles. Comparisons have already been drawn to other lengthy open-world games, with some suggesting Rockstar may need to innovate mission pacing and engagement to keep players invested for such an extended campaign.
On the flip side, many long-time fans view the leak as a promising sign of Rockstar’s continued dedication to immersive storytelling. The studio has built a reputation for cinematic narratives and rich open-world detail, and a 75-hour campaign would reinforce GTA 6 as a next-gen benchmark in interactive storytelling.
Until Rockstar officially confirms the game’s length or provides new trailers, speculation will continue to swirl. However, the scale suggested by the leak lines up with the studio’s track record of pushing technical and narrative boundaries. Whether the final product truly delivers 75 hours of mainline content or not, one thing is certain: GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious video games ever made.
