Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) It is, by sheer inertia, one of the most anticipated video games. The Rockstar saga has become more of a social phenomenon with tens of millions of followers around the world, as evidenced by the fact that the latest great installment GTA V crossed the 100 million fan mark.

Rockstar doesn’t seem to be rushing the development and release of GTA 6, as GTA V still has enough commercial traction to be re-released for the latest generation of consoles. On the other hand, the company has a lot of pressure on its shoulders due to the unbridled expectations surrounding its future title, so it’s better to go slow and build it up rather than rush and then launch a product that generates criticism, a bad image and a rapid decline in sales.

However, GTA 6 could be officially announced before May 17, 2023 because Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent company, has an earnings call for its investors on that date. This is speculation spread by GTAForums users, and it’s important not to confuse an official announcement with the launch of the game, especially considering that some very early development material from GTA 6 was leaked a few months ago. The official announcement could be an attempt to please and excite investors, especially considering that the saga has been a money-generating machine for two decades.

In addition to the future numbered part of the saga, the same GTAForums forum slipped on March 10 the possibility of Grand Theft Auto Online getting a big update next summer to commemorate its tenth anniversary. User Tez2 commented that Rockstar could present the content as a GTA 6 trailer within GTA Online during the months of September and October, but it is important to note that this is not an official affair.

We’ll see if any of this information materializes over the coming weeks. It’s possible that the leak of material from a few months ago disrupted Rockstar and Take-Two’s plans, and now they’re under pressure to deliver something that lives up to expectations that they’d have been somewhat cooler had the incident not happened. . The latest rumors suggest that GTA 6 should be released at the end of 2024, which on paper is a sign that Rockstar wants to keep things quiet, but it remains to be seen whether the possible pressure will affect the date shift.
