GTA 6 May Be Further Along in Development Than We Think

3.6
Yesterday, a new GTA 6 report surfaced, claiming that the new installment in the Grand Theft Auto series coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X is still "in early development." As you would expect, this report didn't sit well with fans looking forward to the first installment since GTA 5 dropped in 2013. However, it seems like it may not be true, or at least not wholly accurate. Today, prominent Rockstar Games insider Tez2 took to Twitter to reveal this information is at odds with what they've been hearing about the title, presumably from inside sources or external sources in the know.

According to Tez2, it's hard to believe that the game is in the "early stages of development" given that they are hearing it's at least "halfway done," if not more.

"Take note that Red Dead Redemption 2 took approximately 8 or 7 years worth of development, main production started right after Red Dead Redemption release, and recording sessions began in 2013," said the insider. "Expect the same with the next title, unless it's 'early' as in we are nowhere near release which is more believable.



It's safe to assume GTA 6 will take as long to develop as Red Dead Redemption 2, unless Rockstar Games plans to scale back the size of the game. And so this begs the question: when did development began? Did it begin after GTA 5 in 2013 or after Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018? If it's the former, the game should arrive in the next year or two. If it's the latter, then, well, we may not see the game until closer to 2025.

Unfortunately, for now, all we have is conflicting reports. And at the moment of publishing, Rockstar Games hasn't commented on either, leaving fans with nothing but speculation.

If I have to wait until 2025 for another GTA I am going to be sick. We wait so long for these games just to beat t so quick it sucks to me tbh. Means the next GTA could be after whatever the next RDR game is so it wont be out until past 2030. Basically making a game/decade which isn't good to me.

Silky Shame they won't be releasing it along with the new consoles.


It would have been a great way to kick off next gen kind of like how they did with the Xbox One if I remember correctly.


That's exactly what I'm saying bro! - unfortunate.


I rather have them take the time to make the game good though. GTA V was one of my favorite games the past decade I have no complaints about it. Would be neat to see the next one cross platform as well.


I'm really hoping GTA6 blows GTA5 out of the water and if it takes time then I'm down for waiting but it's one of the only games I have to look forward to.


I don't think they would ever rush a game. They have always been good at making their games interesting and long lasting. People still love playing San Andreas and Vice City so I would say we're in good shape for the next one.

Can't wait for it, but I will because it will only get better overtime instead of rushing it.

That would actually be huge for their sales but they do well every release anyway.

Cent It'd be nice to see a release next year but realistically I don't see it coming out until possibly 2023 if that's the case with what they said about RDR.


Yeah it's such a shame man, I'm dying for this new GTA.
