There are a ton of rumors about when Grand Theft Auto VI is actually going to be released and if it’ll come in time for the next generation consoles. If recent developments are any indication, we might not see Grand Theft Auto VI for at least a few more years.
GTA VI is perhaps the most anticipated title in Rockstar Games' history and has reportedly been in development since 2012.It has been nearly 7 years since a new GTA game has released, and fans are clamoring for a return to Vice City.
As reported by VentureBeat, Take-Two laid out its financial plans for the next five years, aka a 10-K SEC filing, which revealed that the company intends on spending $89 million on marketing between April 2023 and March 2024. That’s over half the marketing budget expected for any fiscal year over the next decade.
The reason being Rockstar Games' earlier model of releasing games within a year or two year's gap was altered significantly by GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA 5.
Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in 2018, 5 years after the release for their last game, GTA 5. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best AAA games of the decade, with the signature Rockstar polish and eye for detail.
Therefore, Rockstar Games taking their time with GTA 6 is ultimately a good thing, as the final product will be benefitted from a longer development period.
