Insider insists that the announcement of Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming soon

But here's the kicker: Recent comments from Take-Two Interactive's CEO Strauss Zelnick have suggested GTA VI might launch as early as 2024-2025. Does that mean we should be expecting a trailer soon? Well, it's hard to say. Take-Two Interactive isn't just about Rockstar and GTA. They've got a loaded deck of other lucrative titles like the next BioShock game, Judas, a new Borderlands entry, and a plethora of highly profitable mobile games from Zynga in their portfolio. Their financial forecast, which is looking pretty rosy, isn't necessarily a flashing neon sign that screams, "GTA 6 is coming!"

Here's some financial real talk to add some grit to the glamour. Take-Two is expecting a leap in net bookings from $5.5 billion this year to $8 billion in the next fiscal year. However, don't pop the champagne yet; it could be an assortment of AAA games contributing to that number. The fiscal year isn't a weekend, it's 12 whole months.

As we've mentioned, within that timeframe, Take-Two could release several new games, including re-releases of older classics like Bully and Grand Theft Auto 4. Not to forget, the Red Dead Remaster re-release still managed to rake in the big bucks despite being criticized.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been in "active development" since at least February 2022. That's a blink of an eye compared to the agonizing waits fans had for titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Elder Scrolls VI as well as the current flavor of the month, Starfield. Nevertheless, the fans are getting tired and their collective patience is wearing thin.

So, should you get excited about the possibility of a GTA 6 announcement soon? Absolutely. But should you bet your in-game GTA dollars on it? Maybe not.

Either way, the next few months promise to be an interesting journey, be it a smooth ride down the streets of Vice City or another detour down Rumor Lane. Strap in, folks; we're in for a ride.
