We've known for a while that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming, but Rockstar has managed to keep all the juicy details away from the press.
The company said the historic leak last year was disappointing, but this didn't change the course of the next Grand Theft Auto iteration. In other words, the release timing did not change, with Rockstar still planning to launch the game according to the original schedule.
The big question on everybody's lips is when GTA 6 will finally see daylight. As I said, Rockstar doesn't discuss such details for obvious reasons: Grand Theft Auto V still sells like hotcakes, so the company has no intention to cannibalize this title with a GTA 6 announcement.
Once Rockstar announces the next version of GTA, sales of GTA V are likely to collapse, as gamers would choose to wait for the upcoming release rather than spend their money on the existing (outdated) version. GTA V launched in 2013, so it's a ten-year-old title that many have gotten tired of.
Now Rockstar fuels all the GTA 6 rumors with a big hint at its release date. Parent company Take-Two expects " record operating performance levels next year and beyond." Take-Two says a "significant inflection point in fiscal 2025" will be responsible for this record performance, obviously without sharing additional specifics.
It's not hard to read between the lines and guess that Take-Two is probably referring to Grand Theft Auto 6 as the significant inflection point supposed to fuel record sales. GTA V was a money-making machine, and given the excitement generated by its successor, the company expects the next title to be at least as successor as the current title.
The next financial year lasts from April 2024 to March 2025, and this could be the window when Rockstar could finally unveil Grand Theft Auto 6. If the company sticks with its typical schedule, we should witness an official announcement going live later this year. Rockstar typically announces its biggest titles two before the launch, so in theory, a GTA 6 trailer could reach the web at some point in the fall.
The rumor mill is full of unconfirmed information about GTA 6, with some sources claiming that Rockstar might change its typical release schedule and take the wraps off this highly anticipated game in 2024. While the scenario is still possible, the unveiling would still occur between April 2024 and March 2025 to align with Take-Two's financial expectations.
For now, we should just take everything with a healthy pinch of salt, as the information is unconfirmed and could easily change overnight if something doesn't go as planned. As far as Rockstar is concerned, GTA V is the game to buy if you want to get a taste of the Grand Theft Auto iteration.
