The Likelihood of Grand Theft Auto 6 Being Confirmed This Year
Fans of Grand Theft Auto 6 on the subreddit r/GTA6 have expressed confidence in the game being confirmed this year. This belief stems from a recent earnings call released by Take Two.
Rumors of a Possible Early Release
A report from IGN on May 18 suggests that Rockstar might release the game as early as next year, based on the information shared in Take Two’s earnings call. This news has generated excitement within the Reddit community of r/GTA6, who have eagerly been awaiting the game.
Examining Rockstar’s Announcement History
Dedicated fans have analyzed Rockstar’s previous game announcements and have discovered a pattern. It seems that the studio tends to project high earnings during their calls as a lead-up to a major game release.
In a Reddit thread created on May 18, it is speculated that if Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for a 2024 release, the trailer should be revealed soon. Looking at Rockstar’s history with trailers and releases, their longest gap between the two was 18 months, which occurred with Grand Theft Auto 5 due to a delay. However, given Rockstar’s reputation for delays, fans hope this won’t be the case for the upcoming game.
A Minor Setback in the Development Process
In September 2022, Grand Theft Auto 6 faced a leak, causing a hiccup in its development. Take Two expressed frustration over this incident, emphasizing that it had a more personal and emotional impact rather than affecting the game’s actual development. The CEO of Take Two reassured fans that the leak would not harm the progress of the game, although it did impact the development teams involved.
