All the Grand Theft Auto 6 Rumors

The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most popular and successful in gaming. But with Grand Theft Auto V releasing in 2013, it has been some time since a new sequel launched. Of course, Rockstar has little incentive to rush out Grand Theft Auto 6, especially with the unprecedented success of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Yet, there will almost certainly be a sequel in the near future. The series is just too lucrative for Rockstar to not take advantage of its massive fanbase. Thankfully, there have been plenty of leaks and rumors about over the last few months. Whether all of them are genuine is, of course, up for debate. But if even a few of them turn out to be true, Grand Theft Auto 6 will be a game to get excited about.

Here are all the Grand Theft Auto 6 rumors going around.

When will Grand Theft Auto 6 release?

Players already know that the next-gen version of Grand Theft Auto V is not launching until 2021. That would seem to indicate that the sequel won’t be coming anytime soon. After all, the developer will not want to take any attention away from Grand Theft Auto V. That would back up rumors that the sequel might not release until 2022 or even 2023. While games like this take a long time to develop, fans will likely be unhappy if that date was confirmed. But with no official announcement or trailer for the game, it will likely be a few years before it launches.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has reportedly been in development for years

The general consensus among fans is that Grand Theft Auto 6 has only been in development for a short time. After all, Rockstar has been hard at work on Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 recently. But one rumor seems to indicate that the developer might have started on the project a long time ago. In fact, some leaked information indicates that Rockstar has been involved in active development since 2018. That means that pre-development work like concept art and storyboarding would have been completed long before that stage.
