We’ve been talking about GTA 6 for years, one of the most anticipated games and also one of the most gripping. We’ve never had an official release date, but the information we’ve seen has almost always pointed in the same direction, suggesting that it might be coming. between late 2023 and mid-2024.

Now, thanks to the leaked documentation that Microsoft presented to start the process of buying Activision Blizzard, we could know that the launch of GTA 6 will happen. sometime in 2024, a date that fits right in with the leaks and rumors that have been going around for the past few months.

given date it has no official character as it has not been confirmed by Rockstar, who is the developer of the game, but the fact that it is included in the document that the Redmond giant submitted for such an important operation gives it a clear value. All in all, keep in mind that Microsoft says “release is expected in 2024,” which means even the Redmond giant isn’t entirely sure arrival dates for this title.

GTA 6 could be a next-gen exclusive

At least that’s what its release date suggests, which would mark shortly after the end of the life cycle of the last generation consoles. However, it is possible that Rockstar will decide to bring this game to PS4 and Xbox One make a “golden” end to this generationwhich the famous study already did with GTA V.

Cross-generational development makes sense because it would ultimately enable Rockstar reach more users and maximize sales, but at the same time it would be problematic on a technical level, as the basis of GTA 6 would be defined by the limitations that the PS4 and Xbox One would impose on the hardware level. We’ll see what happens in the end.

Expectations are very high, although the content leak that happened a few months ago hit the fans of the franchise like a pitcher of cold water, because the technical execution that GTA 6 showed in the leaked videos It was way below those expectations.. This led to a campaign of solidarity with Rockstar from other developers, and it was made clear that all the content in this mass leak represented only the “early” stage of development.

That said, we have reasons to be positive and give Rockstar confidence in GTA 6, after all, the developer he did a great job with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2and still has time to improve another big part of his famous franchise.
