There's a lot of buzz in the Grand Theft Auto community these days, mainly as Take-Two hinted that the franchise's next iteration could launch in 2024 or early 2025.
While these dates suggest we're still far from when GTA 6 lands in our hands, gamers get overly excited every time the parent companies reveal the smallest detail about the next Grand Theft Auto title.
If you, too, keep an eye on everything GTA-related, the latest speculation indicates that GTA VI could copy a key feature of Red Dead Redemption 2. The dynamic hair growth system could make its way to Grand Theft Auto, so characters might grow their beard and hair over time. The new system would add a new concept to the game, so players must visit the barbershop regularly.
The hair-growing system debuted in RDR2 many years ago, so the transition to GTA VI isn't necessarily surprising. However, it's living proof that Rockstar is carefully planning all details as it tries to make the upcoming game a hit.
Recent evidence suggests Grand Theft Auto VI has been in the works for nearly a decade. A video engineer who worked for Rockstar revealed that the work on GTA 6 started in 2015, only a few months after the company shipped the PC version of GTA V.
As for the launch date of the next iteration, there's so much speculation that it's impossible to tell which rumor has more chance of being accurate.
People familiar with the matter and a good track on Rockstar scoops previously hinted that the official GTA VI trailer could go live later this year. The timing makes perfect sense, as Rockstar could fuel the existing speculation, making everybody excited about the game approximately one year before the launch. The company will then drop occasional teasers from GTA 6, maintaining the buzz until the game sees daylight.
However, based on past announcements, Rockstar reveals its biggest titles two years before they roll out for gamers. If the same schedule is in place, GTA VI could launch in 2025, as long as the trailer sees daylight in the fall of this year.
GTA 6 will likely debut on new-generation consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S) and PC, but it's still unclear if the full platform availability will be announced first. Some sources with knowledge of the development work claimed that GTA 6 would debut only on certain platforms at first, with the game to be expanded to all supported platforms later.
