Recent leaks suggest that Rockstar may release Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2024, adding to the excitement of gamers who have been eagerly anticipating news of its official release. Despite the lack of confirmed information from the company, various leaks, including leaked gameplay footage obtained by a hacker, have been circulating among fans.
Again, A reliable source has disclosed a potential launch date for the expansive action video game.
When will GTA 6 be released?
Rockstar has faced significant challenges during the development of GTA 6, including a major leak that affected developers on a personal and emotional level. The release date, originally expected by the end of 2023, has been delayed. However, according to a Rockstar insider named TezFun, the game may not be too far off. TezFun shared on the official GTA forums that the current deadline is for the holiday season of 2024, although it is subject to change and may even be pushed back to 2025.
According to Tez, Rockstar will reportedly be returning to office soon, following in the footsteps of other gaming studios. This announcement is expected to be made sometime this year. However, this policy could impact the launch date either positively or negatively, as some talented individuals may leave if they are unable to work in the office, while others may work more efficiently in an in-person setting.
Tez also mentioned that he doesn’t believe upper management can afford to delay the game any further beyond the holiday season of 2025/2026. Instead, they may consider cutting portions of the game to release as DLCs later on, as this could be more sustainable for the management.
Given that previous GTA games, such as GTA 4, have had DLC releases, this strategy seems plausible. As Rockstar has not confirmed any release date, fans of the series will have to wait for an official announcement before knowing when to expect GTA 6.
