GTA 6 fans are keeping everything crossed for an upcoming release date, revealing they’ve gotten some bad news. It seems like Grand Theft Auto fans can wait a few more years at least until the long-awaited GTA 6 arrives. Well-known journalist Jason Schreier was recently questioned by a fan on Twitter about when the release date of GTA 6 might be.

Schreier was asked if he still thought GTA 6 could be released in 2023 as predicted earlier.

Twitter user @odourvas asked the Bloomberg reporter, “Jason do you still expect GTA VI to be released around 2023? As you said in the Triple Click podcast last year.”

And the former Kotaku news editor, who previously made headlines about other high-profile game delays like The Last of Us Part 2, had some bad news.

Schreier replied, “Expect everything to be much later than you might think because of Covid”.

This isn’t the first time Schreier has dropped a bombshell regarding GTA 6.

About this time last year, in one of his latest articles for Kotaku, Schreier gave an insight into the cultural changes Rockstar Games went through after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2.

And in that article the veteran game journalist slipped in some important information about the next GTA game.

Schreier said Rockstar’s next big project is a new Grand Theft Auto and that it could be launched as a “moderate size” game that will be updated and expanded over time.

But the most important piece of information revealed to Schreier was that the new Grand Theft Auto was in “early development”.

He wrote, “ A plan that management has in place for the next game, a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, is to start with a medium-sized release (which, by Rockstar’s standards, is still a big game). is then enhanced with regular updates over time, which can help reduce stress and crunch.

“But there’s a catch: Rockstar’s next big project is still under development.”

If GTA 6 launches by the end of 2023 or later, it would mean that Grand Theft Auto fans have endured a gap of more than 10 years between the release of GTA 5 and the next mainline submission.

GTA 5 was first released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013, before moving to PCs, PS4, Xbox One and now – later this year – Xbox Series X, S and PS5.

In the second half of this year, an improved version of GTA 5 will be released for next-gen consoles, which should help keep fans occupied while they wait for GTA 6 – when it comes out.

When all is said and done, GTA 5 will be released on three different console generations – which is stunning and unheard of.

It’s also rumored that Rockstar Games is working on something else that could help close the gap until GTA 6 finally comes out – remasters of the PS2-era Grand Theft Auto games.

So that’s GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas. GTA 3 will be celebrating its 20th anniversary later this year, so if these latest rumors are true, we might find out more ahead of the big one to come.

GTA 3 arrived on PS2 on October 22, 2001 and was exclusive to Sony’s record-breaking console, before hitting PCs the following year and the OG Xbox two years later.
