‘GTA 6’ Release Date, News & Update: Is Rockstar Planning A 2024 Release for Upcoming ‘Grand Theft Auto’ Sequel?

It appears that gamers may have a long wait ahead of them before “GTA 6” is released. Reddit user joebucksucks420 has revealed that a friend of his who works for Rockstar Games has shared some interesting tidbits regarding the launch window for the upcoming “Grand Theft Auto” sequel.

According to the source, Rockstar is not turning their full attention to “GTA 6” right away after the release of “Red Dead Redemption 2” last week. Instead, the studio is already working on a remaster of the Western-themed action-adventure game for next-gen consoles and they are planning to release it in 2020.

Apparently, they are unable to include a lot of features in “Red Dead Redemption 2” due to the limitations of the current-gen consoles. Some have even suggested the studio may release a PC version of the game.

joebucksucks420’s source also said that the developers at Rockstar are working on “Bully 2” at the moment and they want to release the game in the first half of 2020. After that, Rockstar can finally concentrate on “GTA 6.” The source said preliminary work has already begun on “GTA 6,” but fans may have to wait until 2023 or 2024 for it to come out. “The plan is to release GTA VI in at the end of 2023, but the team knows that 2024 may be a more realistic goal,” joebucksucks420 wrote in his post.

While some may find this information hard to believe, joebucksucks420 has noted that he does have a high karma on Reddit. “Some will be skeptical, and I understand, but all I can say is that I've been around for a while, have over 60k karma, have been gifted gold several times for my posts, and have never made a post with false information,” he said.

If what he said is true, the wait for “GTA 6” is going to be a long one for fans of the series. At the moment, readers are still advised to take this with a grain of salt.
