It looks like GTA 6 could launch as soon as 2024.
When did Rockstar first reveal the game?
When was the first trailer?
How much time was there between announcement and launch?
Rockstar is known to be quiet and coy until it’s ready to share news.
GTA V was announced on October 25, 2011 and the game finally released on September 17, 2013.
GTA 6, meanwhile,was confirmed on February 8, 2022.
It’s now been more than 450 days since GTA 6 was announced, or about 15 months.
Assuming Rockstar sticks to a somewhat-similar schedule between announcement and release (and that is no certainty!
), a 2024 release for GTA 6 does match up.
A similar number of days between announcement and release would put GTA 6’s release sometime around Spring 2024.
When Rockstar announced GTA 6 in February 2022, many assumed it was part of a recruiting effort.
After all, it’snot uncommon for game announcements to masquerade as recruiting tools.
But again, this is only speculation.
How did it happen?
The impressive video showed the big, vibrant open world of Southern San Andreas.
Rockstar confirmed this following some rumors and speculation stemming from retail listings for the title.
Rockstar said the extra time would allow the company to polish the game further.
“Trust us, it will be worth the extra time,” Rockstar said at the time.
Instead, Rockstar said it would launch GTA Online on October 1, and it did.
GTA Online became a massive, ongoing success.
GTA 5 Launches: September 17, 2013
The day finally came!
