After much speculation and guessing, the scenario about the next Grand Theft Auto it finally starts to get clearer. After insider Tom Henderson revealed last week that GTA 6 should not be released before 2025 and that it will be set in a modern Vice City, the information was reiterated this weekend by journalist Jason Schreier and the website Video Games Chronicle (VGC).
On Twitter, Schreier, who is one of the best-informed reporters in the industry, explained that the game won’t come out until 2023 (after a lot of people talked about it) and despite not citing a specific launch window, said “everything what Tom Henderson said about the game matches what I heard.”
In a series of tweets, he pointed out that GTA 6 it is still at an early stage of development and recalled having said last year that the game is far from “70% complete”, information that was circulating at the time.
Idk why everyone thinks that I said GTA VI was coming in 2023. Everything Tom Henderson has said about the game matches up with what I’ve heard

The journalist also argued that the long period of development is due to a reformulation in the work culture that is taking place within Rockstar. He himself had disclosed, in 2018, that several company employees underwent a crunch (abusive work regime with a lot of overtime) to finish Red Dead Redemption 2.
Information so far
The VGC published a story echoing Schreier’s speech and said it had received the same details from some sources. In addition to reaffirming that GTA 6 will have a map that will expand with new areas after launch (similar to what happens in Fortnite), the site cited the modern-day setting.
The vehicle recalled that in addition to the change in the work culture, Rockstar recently dealt with the departure of important names such as Dan Houser (who seems to have founded its own game company) and Leslie Benzies, who was president of Rockstar North.
Putting together all these recent information already mentioned, we can still say that the next Grand Theft Auto:
- will have several protagonists, including a woman who will deal with hacking issues;
- it will only be for the current generation and PC, as Rockstar expects increased sales of the PS5 e Xbox Series X/S In the next years;
- will have the cryptocurrencies as in-game currency.
