Great news forGrand Theft Autofans who have been hungrily waiting for any new information on Rockstar’s upcomingGrand Theft Auto 6, whichmay be the finalGTAtitleplayers get. It would seem that development for the game is further along than many fans had been led to believe from recent reports dropped earlier this week.
Insider, Tez2, has taken to Twitter to share what little information onGrand Theft Auto 6they can get from inside of Rockstar’s notoriously tight lips. The latest report even contradicts an earlier statement thatGTA6 is a long way off, due to it being early in development, with players being tempered to expect it within the PS5 and Xbox Series X’s lifecycle, but not anywhere near the launch of the new systems.

The new report, however, claims thatGTA 6is at least halfway finished, if not more, meaning that the game may actually be closer to release than previously alluded. This still doesn’t necessarily mean that the title should be expected this holiday season, or even next, as Tez2, the source of this information, made it a point to remember that it tookRed Dead Redemption 2almost 8 years to finish development. So, in the insider’s own words,GTA 6’s base releasemay be closer than expected, but it may still not be available by this holiday season.
However, a longer development time is probably a good thing, as allowing developers to take this kind of time has allowedRockstar to reduce crunchover the years. So for the sake of the developers currently working onGTA 6, the earlier report of the game being in early stages could be a way to keep from having to commit to a timeline that requires the team to start putting in 100 hour work weeks. Either way, this information still means thatGTA 6has likely been in development long than many realized, and it’s well on its way to completion.
Of course, this information is all speculation and the word of an insider, as opposed to an official announcement, so fans may want to take it with a grain of salt. In fact, members of theGTAcast and crew have suggested before thatplayers should ignore rumors, as news on the game continues to leak from every possible corner. It’s entirely possible that these rumors could simply be speculation or hopeful wishing from those with a glimpse at the inside of development, rather than certifiable facts.
Grand Theft Auto 6is in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
