GTA (Grand Theft Auto) is one of the most popular games of all time. Even though the fifth game in the series was released in 2013, it still breaks sales records. However, players have been waiting for long-time producer Rockstar Games to release the highly anticipated GTA 6. Luckily, we might have just gotten a small indication of the release date of GTA 6 from Microsoft.
According to Microsoft GTA 6 release date is 2024
Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard has caught the radar of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), the UK’s regulatory body. The CMA opened an investigation and began examining the billion-dollar deal. Microsoft’s response to the investigation was quick, and the company defended itself in a document. Surprisingly, some information in the document gave us a clue about the release date of GTA 6.
Microsoft essentially argues that Call of Duty alone does not constitute enough of the market share to hurt competition, thus pointing to franchises like Grand Theft Auto. The most striking point is on Page 24 of the document: “The highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is expected to be released in 2024”.
Considering the level of cooperation between Microsoft and Rockstar, we can say this information is likely correct. However, the company is under CMA investigation, and a billion-dollar deal could be in jeopardy. Therefore, it is impossible to say anything definite about the accuracy of the information.
Reports have suggested that the game could be prepped for launch by 2025, although a 2024 release date doesn’t seem unlikely. There is also a good chance that Rockstar could announce a 2024 release date initially and delay it to the next year. A game the scale of Grand Theft Auto VI needs all the polish and time in development it can get.
