While the arrival of the next title in the series has taken a while, it will finally be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. There are reports about Rockstar calling back employees to the office full-time as they plan to enter the final stretch of GTA 6's development.

More information on the much anticipated sequel might be revealed in the near future via trailers or announcements; as expected by fans in the upcoming months. A major reason for that is Take-Two Interactive's (Rockstar Games' parent company) next earnings being held in May 2024.

GTA 6's first trailer was announced just prior to the company's November 2023 earnings call, and although something similar could happen again, there is no guarantee about that.
