WithRed Dead Redemption 2having released nearly three years ago now, fans of Rockstar Games are wondering what’s next from the studio.Rockstar Games has yet to reveal its next original project, but rumors are strongly pointing to its next game being none other thanGrand Theft Auto 6. And while fans won’t get to see the highly-anticipated game anytime soon, it seems as though they may have a better idea of when it will be available.
Twitter user ViewerAnon, who is mostly known for accurately leaking news from the film industry, recently touched onGrand Theft Auto 6. According to them, Rockstar Games once had an internal release date set forGrand Theft Auto 6for a late 2023 release. It’s possible that those plans have changed, but that was the latest planned release window forGrand Theft Auto 6according to ViewerAnon’s information.

With fans so hotly anticipatingGrand Theft Auto 6, ViewerAnon’s message understandably raised quite a few questions. In a follow-up tweet, ViewerAnon explained thatGrand Theft Auto 6is not going to be announced prior to the launch ofGrand Theft Auto 5’s next-gen upgrade. They also pointed out thatRed Dead Redemption 2was first revealed just one year before it was released, and so ifGTA 6follows suit, then fans should be able to expect a late 2022 reveal for the game.
Of course, this is assuming that any of this information is accurate. While ViewerAnon is a far more reputable leaker than many others, it’s always best to take unverified information like this with a grain of salt. Not only that, but it’s also possible that these claims are based on outdated information. As ViewerAnon themselves have pointed out, situations like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could very well have delayed Rockstar’s plans when it comes toGrand Theft Auto 6.
The reason whyGrand Theft Auto 6’s possible release window got brought up in the first place is becauseRockstar Games is hiring testers, which is usually a sign that something is in active development. This combined with aBullytrademark renewal fueled speculation that Rockstar Games could be nearing the end of production onGrand Theft Auto 6or aBullysequel, though it’s also possible that the testers will merely be testing content related to Rockstar’s live-service titles.
Even thoughGrand Theft Auto 5first released in 2013, Rockstar Games has continued to support its online component with regular content updates. And as long asGrand Theft Auto Onlineremains as popular as it is, fans of the franchise can expect Rockstar to continue releasing new content for the game. Eventually, though, fans should be able to look forward to the launch ofGrand Theft Auto 6.
Grand Theft Auto 6is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
