In a recent article, Henderson predicted certain things for next year, which included GTA 6, saying: On one hand, Henderson’s got a point. On the other hand, this is speculative info, at best. Of course, when it comes to leaked information, Henderson is up there among the best of them. So, if anything else, we’ll take his words with fewer grains of salt compared to other insiders. If you connect the dots though, Henderson’s belief in the release date of GTA 6 makes a ton of sense. Keep in mind that he was one of the first to mention “2025” as when GTA 6 will be out. If he insists that this is the case, the least we can do is to look out for an announcement next year. If nothing else, another leaker is claiming the same thing as well. Also, Microsoft might not have been necessarily wrong in its prediction. GTA 6 could come out in FY2024. Although the GTA franchise has traditionally stuck to a Fall release window, the times have changed. The first quarter of the year (or the last quarter of the fiscal year, if we’re speaking in business terms) is where the party’s at these days. Case in point, next year’s biggest titles such as Forspoken, Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, Hogwarts Legacy as well as Skull and Bones and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, among others, are all coming out between January through March. Releasing GTA 6 earlier in the year could bring about a seismic shift in the gaming industry and solidify the first few months as a legitimate release window for upcoming AAA titles.
