Rockstar Finally Confirms GTA VI; Active Development Underway
GTA VI is currently in development, as Rockstar has revealed on Twitter. Fans of Grand Theft Auto have been hoping for a 6th installment for years. The studio made the best of a declaration on Rockstar Newswire about the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version of Grand Theft Auto V to reassure them that it is in development, anticipate that it will be imaginative, and promise that they will give more details when it is time.
Many of you have been asking about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series.
With every new project, our goal is always to significantly move beyond what we've previously delivered. We're pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the series is underway.

Although there’s an official confirmation that the game is in production, we still lack any official information regarding the game. No release date, platform, or even a title. Grand Theft Auto 6 might not even be a thing. At the very least, Rockstar is assuring fans that they are fully committed to growing Grand Theft Auto Online and will do so in the future.
Coming Fall 2023?
It’s possible that Grand Theft Auto VI may be launched later this year with a phony “Fall 2023” launch date and then delayed until 2024, according to Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, who is well-versed in the video game industry.
Wouldn't be shocked to see Grand Theft Auto VI announced later this year with a fake release date of "fall 2023" that then slips to 2024 https://t.co/PCtS7o6FEe

In reality, a new installment of GTA Online will be available for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 when GTA 5 launches on both platforms on March 15th with major audiovisual upgrades (the PS5 version will be free for the first three months for PS Plus subscribers). There will be a way to carry over your progress from the single-player journey to the multiplayer experience.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
