Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) It is, by simple inertia, one of the most anticipated video games. The Rockstar saga has transcended to be more of a social phenomenon with tens of millions of followers around the world, which is supported by the fact that what is the latest great installment, GTA V, has exceeded 100 million fans. copies sold.
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 enormous pressure on its shoulders due to the unbridled expectations surrounding its future title, so it is better to go slowly and spin well than to rush and then launch a product that generates criticism, 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 for that date. This is speculation spread by users of the GTAForums forum, and it is important not to confuse the official announcement with the launch of the game, especially considering that a few months ago material from GTA 6 was leaked in a very early stage of its development. The official announcement could be an attempt to please and arouse the enthusiasm of investors, especially considering that the saga has been a machine for generating money for two decades.
In addition to the future numbered installment of the saga, the same GTAForums forum slipped on March 10 the possibility that Grand Theft Auto Online will receive a big update next summer to commemorate its tenth anniversary. User Tez2 has commented that Rockstar could introduce content as a GTA 6 teaser within GTA Online during the months of September and October, but it is important to note that this is not an official thing.
We’ll see if any of this information materializes over the course of the next few weeks. It is possible that the leak of the material from a few months ago has disrupted the plans of Rockstar and Take-Two and now they are under pressure to offer something that meets expectations that, if that incident had not occurred, they would be somewhat cooler. The latest rumors suggest that GTA 6 would be released at the end of 2024, which on paper is a sign that Rockstar wants to take things easy, but it will be necessary to see if the possible pressure affects an advance of the dates .
