GTA 6 has been talked about for years, one of the most anticipated games and also one of the most elusive. We’ve never had an official release date, but the information we’ve seen has almost always pointed in the same direction and indicated that its arrival could take place. between late 2023 and mid-2024.
Now, thanks to the documentation leak that Microsoft presented to start the process of purchasing Activision Blizzard, we have been able to know that the launch of GTA 6 will take place. sometime in 2024, a date that fits precisely with the leaks and rumors that have occurred in recent months.
said date it is not official because it has not been confirmed by Rock star, which is the developer of the game, but the fact that it is included in a document presented by the Redmond giant for such an important operation gives it a clear value. All in all, keep in mind that Microsoft says “expected to be released in 2024”, which means that not even the Redmond giant is entirely sure of the arrival date of this title.
GTA 6 could be exclusive to the new generation
That’s, at least, what its release date suggests, which would be marked shortly after the end of the current generation consoles’ lifecycle. However, it is possible that Rockstar decides to port this game to PS4 and Xbox One for put a “golden” end to that generationsomething that the well-known studio has already done with GTA V.
A cross-generational development makes sense because it would ultimately enable Rockstar reach more users and maximize sales, but at the same time it would be problematic on a technical level, given that the basis of GTA 6 would be defined by the limitations that PS4 and Xbox One would impose on a hardware level. We’ll see what it is at the end.
Expectations are very high, even if the content leak that occurred a couple of months ago hit fans of the franchise like a pitcher of cold water, given the technical ending that GTA 6 showed in the leaked videos It was way below those expectations.. This led to a solidarity campaign with Rockstar from other developers, and it became clear that all the content of that mass leak represents only an “early” stage of development.
That said, we have reasons to be positive and give Rockstar a vote of confidence in GTA 6, after all the developer did a great job with GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2and still has time to improve the next big installment of his famous franchise.
