The gaming community has been eagerly waiting for news on Grand Theft Auto 6’s release date and development progress. Rockstar Games officially confirmed that they started developing GTA 6 in Feb 2022. But reports suggest that the development began much earlier. In this post, we will delve into the timeline of GTA 6 development. We will also unveil the mystery behind their expected release date.
Even though Rockstar Games had announced that the development of GTA 6 began in February 2022, we have reasons to believe it started much earlier. According to reports from Bloomberg and the renowned industry insider Jason Schreier, the development of GTA 6 began in early 2014. The devs were working on the story outline and pre-production around that time.
Many of you have been asking about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series.
With every new project, our goal is always to significantly move beyond what we’ve previously delivered. We’re pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the series is underway.

But since Rockstar Games was also working on other projects like Red Redemption 2 and updates on GTA 5, the development of GTA 6 got delayed. The longer development time for this high-end game can also be attributed to the scale of the project and evolving gaming landscape.
As per rumors, this GTA game will have an extended and more diverse map than the previous installments. Therefore, you will be playing in multiple cities and regions. Another report says that GTA 6 will have a female protagonist along with a male protagonist. This will be the newest edition to the gaming series and provide a fresh perspective for gameplay.
Developing these many characters, maps, and missions takes much time and effort. This is why the developers are taking some extra time to complete the game.
When will GTA 6 release?
There has yet to be an official confirmation of the release date from the developer Rockstar Games. But insider reports assume that the expected release date is somewhere between April 1 2024 and March 31, 2025.
