GTA 6: A Glimpse into the Rumors, Leaks, and Expected Release
The gaming community is buzzing with anticipation and speculation over Rockstar Games’ next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series, GTA 6. The excitement has reached new heights following the leaks in September 2022, despite the studio maintaining silence about the upcoming game. With parent company Take-Two Interactive hinting at a possible release window, fans are eagerly piecing together clues and rumors to predict when the next chapter in the iconic open-world series will be unveiled.
The Wait and Speculation
While the wait may seem extensive, with the game potentially being at least a year and a half away, recent rumors have fans hopeful for an official announcement soon. Take-Two Interactive’s projection of eight billion dollars in Net Bookings in Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) has fueled speculations of GTA 6’s release during this period, given the franchise’s history of generating massive revenue.
Take Two: “We still expect to deliver $8 billion in Net Bookings… next year.”
That “still” is them reiterating massive revenue expectations (vs. $5.5 billion in the current year) for April 2024-March 2025. Certainly looks likes code for “that’s when GTA 6 is slated to release”

Deciphering Clues and Predictions
The gaming community is keenly analyzing every piece of information, with speculations suggesting an official GTA 6 announcement could happen as early as October 2023. A recent tweet from Rockstar, featuring a free GTA Online T-shirt and the Vinewood sign forming the Roman numeral six (VI), has sparked theories about the game’s announcement taking place in the first week of October 2023. This speculation might seem far-fetched to some, but it aligns with Rockstar’s penchant for cryptic messages and surprises.

Insider Claims and Historical Patterns
Chris Marxx, a self-proclaimed industry insider, has also fueled the rumor mill, claiming that GTA 6 could be revealed on October 26. While the validity of Marxx’s claims is uncertain, and his account has since been deactivated, it’s worth noting that Rockstar has a history of revealing new titles in October. Both Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 were announced in October, two years prior to their respective release dates.
The Anticipated Announcement
If reliable industry insiders are to be believed, Take-Two and Rockstar Games cannot afford to delay Grand Theft Auto 6 beyond the first half of 2025. This puts the likely announcement of the game in October 2023 or at the latest, by the end of this year, assuming the release window is indeed FY25.
