When can you expect GTA 6 to be released?

At the time of writing this article, there are no definite answers to this question. Rockstar Games is rumored to be developing the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game since 2014. Although it has nearly been a decade of development, there were many instances in the past where the studio had to slow down (if not stop) the development process.

The COVID-19 pandemic and Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks of 2022 impacted the studio and its developers the most. Therefore, it is highly likely that the development process will take some more time to be finished.

However, many reliable insiders previously stated that the game would be released around 2025.
