GTA 6 REALEASE DATE

GTA 6 is one of those inevitable sequels that, like the best things in life, simply require a great deal of patience. While Rockstar Games hasn't said anything about a follow-up to 2013's GTA 5, the idea that it wouldn't continue working on the best-selling entertainment franchise of all time is laughable. It's happening; it's just a case of when, where, and in what form. 

Interestingly enough, the GTA 6 Reddit community is obsessed with the idea that Rockstar will be announcing the game today, March 25, with certain pieces of evidence (updated domains, anonymous leaks) suggesting a surprise reveal could be on the cards. In fact, with the launch of next generation consoles such as the PS5 and Xbox Series X set for the tail end of 2020, we may well see GTA 6 take full advantage of the next-gen tech. 

GTA 6 RELEASE DATE 

Red Dead Redemption 2 has now been in the wild for nearly two years now, which means we're hoping a GTA 6 announcement isn't far away – even though we're likely to be waiting a while to play it.

According to some rumors, we could see the next Grand Theft Auto announced in 2020, with a potential release in 2021, which would make sense considering we're heading into a new console generation at the end of 2020. However, Rockstar has been focused on getting Red Dead Online up and running - and GTA Online is still raking in the dough - which may have diverted attention, not to mention the delays potentially caused by Dan Houser's departure from Rockstar. 

Given 2020 is still in its infancy, expecting any news of GTA 6 in the immediate future is unlikely. But the Xbox Series X and PS5 are due to launch at the end of the year and if GTA 6 followed the release pattern of its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 5, it'd be released at the very tail end of the current generation, comfortably released on the new generation and straddle both for the widest install base possible. 

With no announcement thus far that seems optimistic but, hey, anything could happen.
