According to the latest reports, Take-Two is on track to release GTA V for the next-gen consoles, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S alongside the GTA Online Standalone variant this summer, on March 15, 2022. Essentially hinting that GTA 6 is next in line.

As for the accurate launch period, the report mentions, “Updated FY23/24 pipeline details to be given with Q4 FY2022 results.” To give readers a better understanding, the investors’ call for the final quarter of 2022 scheduled for March will reveal further details of all the titles underway. And that includes GTA 6.

Hence, financial year 23/24 would be the ones to watch out for GTA 6 aspirants. FY23 kicks in around April 2022, but it is more likely the world will be well into FY24, i.e. 2023, possibly 2024 (Q4 of FY23), before the title releases.

Although the report does not exclusively specify GTA 6 in their development pipeline, it does read “we may also add new titles to our slate.” This also means that GTA 6 could be officially reflected in financial reports soon.

As is with any GTA 6 report, this information could be subject to change as the developers/publishers’ plans and any unfortunate delays. Readers must take the speculation with a pinch of salt.
