When will GTA 6 be released? It’s difficult to say given that GTA V was launched eight years ago and a sixth game is hardly more than rumors at this time. The old rule of thumb was that Rockstar produced new entries in the GTA franchise every four or five years – but by that reasoning, GTA 6 should have been out four years ago, so that’s out the window.
The year is 2022, and Grand Theft Auto 6 has yet to be revealed. But we’re hoping for some GTA 6 news soon, because our desire for sharp satire and a good carjacking knows no boundaries. The last Grand Theft Auto game was nearly unfathomably large and fascinating. GTA V’s sales and player counts are also off the charts, which may explain why the next game is taking so long to arrive. Rockstar doesn’t need to rush.
While we wait, we’ve compiled all of the newest GTA 6 rumors in one spot, along with our suggestions for what we’d want to see, regardless of the shape the new Grand Theft Auto takes.
DATE OF RELEASE FOR GTA 6
When will GTA 6 be released? According to recent rumors, GTA 6 will be released around 2024 or 2025. According to a video shared by Battlefield and Call of Duty leaker Tom Henderson, the game has been put back to 2023 as Rockstar is purportedly taking efforts to enhance worker conditions and prevent crunch.
This is consistent with a recent market research study published by Axios on January 12, 2022, which analyses certain Take-Two estimates for revenue growth in the fiscal year 2024.
Take-Two officials expect that the company’s “compound annual growth rate through FY2024 would be 14 percent” as part of the advertising surrounding an agreement with Zynga. According to a Jefferies analyst, only a few titles could provide management with the confidence to make such a forecast.
While there are other popular Take-Two titles that may be potential contenders, this fits with the current GTA 6 rumours. The ‘FY24’ fiscal year runs from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, thus we might be looking at an early 2024 release date.
GTA 6 UPDATES
At the very least, we know something is in the works. Rockstar announced in a community update on February 4 that “active development on the next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto franchise is well underway.” This may be GTA 6, or it could be a spin-off game like GTA San Andreas. Whatever it is, we can be certain it will be “unique.”
Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, indicated in an interview with gamesindustry.biz that improved development tools and larger teams may help to close these gaps. Employees at Rockstar are speaking out about the good adjustments the firm is making after being scrutinized following the Red Dead Redemption 2 deadline. Although there is no schedule for GTA 6, it is possible that the next GTA may be slightly smaller when it is released.
This notion also fits with a few other rumors highlighted in Henderson’s July 2021 video, in which he explores the theory that GTA 6 is set in modern-day Vice City, rather than the 1980s, as others speculated. This is presumably due to the fact that a modern environment is more readily built upon in GTA Online — and on that point, the new online mode may take place on an ‘evolving map’ that evolves with each release.
