Rumors About GTA 6’s Upcoming Release Date

As a matter of fact, fans and everyone else are getting so excited for the upcoming 6^th installment of the series. Perhaps this is due to the fact that whenever there are updates to GTA Online, people would also wonder when GTA 6 is coming out.

Despite the many speculations, Rockstar has not provided a hint about the new GTA game. In fact, only rumors have given hope to expectant fans out there.

Rockstar has already dismissed rumors that GTA 6 will be released in 2019. It first came out when some modders went into hacking GTA Online in order to show a popup advertising the release of the next GTA game for that specific year.

According to Rockstar, that was obviously not true and the rumors were immediately shut down. However, you can’t deny the fact that Rockstar has a history of delays in its releases. One recent example was the delayed release date of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Possible Changes in Release Dates

If you can recall in March 2016, there were reports that GTA 6 was already in production state. This happened before Rockstar admitted they were working heavily towards the completion of GTA Online. Quite obviously, you can say that the schedules for the development of GTA 6 should have been changed.

Take note that Rockstar has another focus as of this moment, which is Red Dead Redemption 2. This also hints that the expected release date will also be moved to give way for their big focus on RD2, give or take a few more years on the waiting list.

So when you hear rumors that Rockstar has already announced a release date, you can bet on it to be delayed and will likely happen 3 to 4 years from now. The best guess is within 2020 – 2022. The good thing is that you can get better features,graphics, and location when the game is well developed. Who knows, you might get to play a female lead character this time or you can bet on some new cars to get into play.
