It should not be long before the very successful Grand Theft Auto 5 is unleashed.
The GTA 5 may have been re-released to increase its lifespan, but it actually came out in 2013.
Much has changed since then, and with the new generation console, PS5 and Xbox series X around the corner, rumors are starting to spin that the next game may
be on its way to Rockstar's most famous franchise.
Everything we know about Grand Theft Auto 6 is right here for your choice - let's get to it.
It’s worth giving you some background, starting with release dates.
Although GTA 5 was released in 2013, Rockstar was unable to immediately turn its attention to sequel development.
It began work on GTA 6 in 2014, but meanwhile there is a small issue of Red Dead Redemption 2, PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions of GTA 5,
and PC and Google Stadia versions 2 of Red Dead Redemption.
All of them take work, but are not out now.
This is the logic of a recent leak from Playster, which was associated with GTA 6 during development.
The source, however, has not confirmed that Rockstar is targeting a late 2020 or 2021 release date.
At this stage, 2020 is clearly a surprise - if Rockstar releases a game of this size within a year of its announcement, it will leave a huge bomb shell.
We think the date of 2021 is much higher, with an announcement a year before that.
Considering Rockstar's trademark delay, it seems to us more likely to be released in 2021 or 2022.
All told, another kernel has recently appeared in the form of Rockstar North's claims for UK tax relief.
There is some controversy over whether you can really call the GTA and Red Dead Redemption 2 "culturally British" as the tax plan requires, but Rockstar's accounting has shown
As TaxWatch points out, this is an indication of continued development, and some are using it as an indication that GTA 6 is happening.
The other major details of the first major leak around GTA 6 were related to the platforms it released.
Apparently, the GTA 5 came to the tail end of a console generation, releasing on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and then re-releasing the next consoles with improved performance
Apparently that model does not repeat itself with GTA 6.
Since both of these consoles will be released in time for the 2020 holiday season, this is similar to what we heard about the game's release window.
However, Red Dead Redemption took much less time to arrive at PC players than GTA 5 did 2 years ago, and it would be a little surprising if GTA6 didn't
even go to PC within a year of its release.
Waiting for details on the new GTA game usually involves a major area of spec tunes - where is it set?
