Fans of the “Grand Theft Auto” franchise have been desperately begging Rockstar Games for any scrap of information with regards to “GTA 6” for quite some time now. The last installment of the games did come out all the way back in 2013, after all. This is a good five years’ worth of waiting. However, gamers might need to wait a bit more before details of the title are shared; think 2020 and beyond.
The prospect of having to wait until 2020 for Rockstar to tell the video game community about “GTA 6” might seem painful, but it makes sense. Right now, “GTA V” is still doing phenomenally well, consistently making it to the top of the best-seller’s lists despite being five years old. As Business Insider points out, it’s basically the third best-selling game of all time, next only to “Tetris” and “Minecraft.”
With the most recent installment to the franchise surpassing 100 million copies in sales back in June, it’s really no wonder that Rockstar is in no hurry to talk about “GTA 6.” On that note, there could also be other reasons for why the studio has been so quiet about the game, and it could involve hardware limitations.
As fans of the company already likely know, Rockstar is currently busy with “Red Dead Redemption 2,” with the western open-world game so close to release. The title likely occupied much of its time and attention, which means that “GTA 6” is either early in development or is still in its planning stages. In both cases, the matter of the hardware ceiling regarding the current consoles is going to be noteworthy.
If Rockstar was going to release any details about “GTA 6” before 2020, it’s going to set expectations for a release in the current generation of consoles. This could be problematic because the technological barrier with regards to these game boxes is fast approaching. It would make more sense for Rockstar to release the game once the new console generation comes around.
As Technobezz points out, though, it all really comes back to the money that “GTA 5” is making. It’s more than likely that Rockstar will never see this kind of success in its future games; even “GTA 6.” Why wouldn’t it try to milk the opportunity for as long as it can?
