We’ve been talking about GTA 6 for years, one of the most anticipated games and also one of the most elusive. We have never had an official release date, but the information that we have been seeing has almost always pointed in the same direction, and indicated that its arrival could take place between the end of 2023 and the middle of 2024.
Now, thanks to the leak of the documentation that Microsoft presented to start the Activision Blizzard purchase process, we have been able to know that the launch of GTA 6 will take place. sometime in 2024, a date that fits precisely with the leaks and rumors that have been taking place in recent months.
said date has no official character because it has not been confirmed by Rockstar, which is the developer of the game, but the fact that it is included in a document presented by the Redmond giant for such an important operation gives it a clear value. All in all, keep in mind that Microsoft says “expected to be released in 2024”, which means that not even the Redmond giant is entirely sure of the arrival date of this title.
GTA 6 could be exclusive to the new generation
That is, at least, what its release date suggests, which would be marked for shortly after the end of the life cycle of the last generation consoles. However, it is possible that Rockstar decides to bring this game to PS4 and Xbox One for put a “golden” end to that generationsomething that the well-known study already did with GTA V.
An intergenerational development makes sense because in the end it would allow Rockstar reach a larger number of users and maximize sales, but at the same time it would be problematic on a technical level, since the base of GTA 6 would be defined by the limitations that PS4 and Xbox One would impose at the hardware level. We’ll see what this is in the end.
Expectations are very high, although the content leak that occurred a couple of months ago hit fans of the franchise like a jug of cold water, since the technical finish that GTA 6 showed in the leaked videos It was way below those expectations.. This led to a campaign of solidarity with Rockstar by other developers, and it became clear that all the content in that mass leak only represents an “early” stage of development.
That said, we have reasons to be positive and to give Rockstar a vote of confidence with GTA 6, after all, the developer did an excellent job with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2and still has time to improve the next big installment of his well-known franchise.
