GTA 6 Officially Confirmed

In a statement outlining plans for Grand Theft Auto in the coming year, Rockstar said:

"With the unprecedented longevity of GTAV, we know many of you have been asking us about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. With every new project we embark on, our goal is always to significantly move beyond what we have previously delivered — and we are pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the Grand Theft Auto series is well underway. We look forward to sharing more as soon as we are ready, so please stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for official details."

Release Date

Of course, they've said nothing about when it may release, but we've finally heard about the game officially. Expect rumours to increase even further now!

What is interesting in the statement is that they say development is well underway, which suggests that is hasn't only just begun.

Therefore, is it possible that the game is closer to release than we all expected. Of course, we've pretty much known that GTA 6 has been in development for a wile, but insiders have suggested that it won't release until maybe 2024. Hopefully this early announcement means it's real.

Only time will tell, so hopefully we get some more official news sometime soon. Keep check back with us for all the GTA 6 news you need.

Before then, GTA V next-gen will release on March 15, 2022, so we can all head to Los Santos once more.
