Silence from Industry Insiders Fuels GTA 6 Release Date Speculation

The lack of official updates from Rockstar doesn't help at all. However, this silence is par for the course for Rockstar and pretty much every other AAA studio. Last year, Sony really didn't talk much about Marvel's Spider-Man 2 until the game was ready. Once development had finished, the marketing train went from 0 to full speed, with Sony pulling off stunts like this one in Australia that went viral for all the right reasons.

Given the scale and importance of GTA 6, you can't blame Rockstar for tuning out the noise, especially after what happened two years ago with the leaks.

It's important to remember that until Rockstar or Take-Two provide official info, all of these rumors and speculations should be taken with a grain of salt. The gaming industry is notoriously unpredictable, and development timelines can shift for a variety of reasons, both internal and external.

GTA 6 could still be delayed, but it may be released as planned. The only ones who know for sure until the games hit the storeshelves are Rockstar and Take-Two.

The next few months will help determine the validity of these rumors, specifically the upcoming quarterly earnings call in November.

Until then, let's hope everyone else will have something new to talk about after GTA 6 or Astro Bot and its GOTY candidacy.
